Jack Quaid, known for his role in "The Boys," recently expressed his enthusiasm for appearing in a potential BioShock movie during a Reddit AMA promoting his new film, Novocaine. Quaid highlighted BioShock as one of his all-time favorite games, praising its "rich lore" as a perfect candidate 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 depth of the game's narrative that could translate well to the screen.
The possibility of a BioShock movie has been a topic of interest, especially after producer Roy Lee mentioned last year that the project had undergone a "reconfiguration" due to leadership changes at Netflix. This shift aims to create a "more personal" film, influenced by lower budgets. Although specific plot details remain under wraps, Hunger Games director Francis Lawrence is still set to direct this anticipated adaptation.
In the same Reddit session, Quaid acknowledged his striking resemblance to the video game character Max Payne, whose likeness is based on Remedy writer Sam Lake. Fans have noted similarities between Quaid's appearance in Novocaine and Max Payne, sparking discussions online. However, Quaid admitted he has yet to play Max Payne, though it's on his list, expressing his admiration for Rockstar Games.
Beyond BioShock, Quaid revealed his passion for FromSoftware's challenging games, such as Bloodborne, Sekiro, and Elden Ring. He described himself as a "huge video game nerd" and shared how he frequently uses Reddit to find tips and tricks for overcoming the tough bosses in these games. "I love how challenging the games are - it took me a while to get into them, but now I'm obsessed," he added, showcasing his deep engagement with the gaming community.
