The BioShock movie is still in the works, but scheduling conflicts mean it likely can't come out before 2027, maybe even later

The screen adaptation of BioShock is still in the works at Netflix, but it sounds like we're going to have a long wait before its release date. The delay is due to director Francis Lawrence's busy schedule, according to an interview with The Direct. Producer Roy Lee didn't reveal much about the film, but hinted at a potentially lengthy wait:

"Well, 'The Long Walk' became a reality because 'BioShock' was delayed for a little bit where we had to do some more script work. And so as the script work is being done, we shot 'The Long Walk,' and [Francis Lawrence] was already committed to doing the next 'Hunger Games' movie. And so it's just waiting for him whenever the 'Hunger Games' is completed, and the script is just being worked on right now."
