Jack Quaid, known for his role in "The Boys," has expressed a strong interest in starring in a film adaptation of the beloved video game, BioShock. During a Reddit AMA to promote his new movie, Novocaine, Quaid highlighted BioShock's compelling lore as a perfect fit for a TV or movie adaptation. "I would actually love to be in a live action adaptation of Bioshock - one of my favorite games of all time," he stated, emphasizing the rich narrative potential of the game.
The feasibility of a BioShock movie remains uncertain, however. Last year, producer Roy Lee revealed that the project had undergone significant changes due to leadership shifts and budget cuts from Netflix. These adjustments have led to a more intimate and personal approach to the film. Despite the alterations, Francis Lawrence, known for directing "The Hunger Games," remains attached to direct the project. Specific details about the plot are still under wraps, leaving fans curious about the direction the movie will take.
In addition to his enthusiasm for BioShock, Quaid has also been compared to another video game icon, Max Payne, due to his striking resemblance to Sam Lake, the Remedy writer whose likeness inspired the character. This resemblance has fueled speculation among fans, especially with images from Quaid's new action movie, Novocaine, circulating online. Quaid acknowledged the comparisons but admitted he has yet to play Max Payne, though it's on his list of games to explore.
Quaid's passion for gaming extends beyond BioShock. He described himself as a "huge video game nerd" and shared his recent obsession with FromSoftware's challenging titles. He successfully completed Bloodborne and Sekiro, and is now tackling Elden Ring, often seeking tips and tricks on Reddit to conquer the game's formidable bosses. His dedication to these games underscores his deep appreciation for the immersive and challenging worlds of video gaming.
