Live-Action Adaptation Of 'BioShock' Coming To Netflix

Live-Action Adaptation Of ‘BioShock’ Coming To Netflix

Video game adaptations are a gamble, but it seems Netflix is rolling the dice. The announcement has now been made on Twitter that a live-action feature adaptation of the popular game “BioShock” is heading your way. Netflix will partner with 2K and Take-Two Interactive, the studio that created the game, and its parent company which will be producing the movie, whose details are still being kept quiet. “BioShock” was first released back in 2007. It follows Jack, a passenger on an airplane that crashes into the ocean near the underwater city of Rapture, a haven where the rich and powerful can live out their lives free from the restrictions of land-based governments. But as Jack quickly learns, the city has turned into a horrific den of monsters. The game was a hit and went on to spawn two sequels. We’ll keep you posted as we learn more. "We all make choices, but in the end our choices make us." Netflix

First Look Revealed For Season 2 Of “Shadow And Bone” Ahead Of Spring Premiere

The second season of Netflix’s “Shadow and Bone” is finally in sight, coming this Spring, two years after the first season premiere. The first images from the new season have surfaced, along with comments (via Deadline) from the showrunners and more that give us a hint at what’s to come. Showrunner Eric Heisserer: The most wonderful thing about Season Two is that we get to advance the story of these characters that we’d left in precarious positions at the end of Season One. There’s a lot of potential for them this season. They have to face the consequences for their actions, and then they get to meet new people along the way. The Grishaverse also expands in this season, both in mythology and in characters. In doing so, we expand the world, we go to new locations, we visit Novyi Zem and Shu Han, and those are all integral to the narrative. He continues, teasing an expanding world. “The most

Netflix Kills "The Bastard Son And The Devil Himself"

Netflix Kills “The Bastard Son And The Devil Himself”

There Netflix goes again, shooting down a pretty decent series after just one season. This time, the streaming giant has axed the British supernatural series “Half Bad: The Bastard Son & The Devil Himself.” Now, fans are left with a lot of questions and few answers. I guess it’s time to read the trilogy written by Sally Green that the series is based on. In the series, “Sixteen-year-old Nathan (Jay Lycurgo) is the illegitimate son of the world’s most dangerous and deadly witch. Fearing he will follow in his father’s footsteps, Nathan is closely monitored throughout his childhood. As the boundaries between ‘good’ and ‘bad’ fray, Nathan – along with mischievous Annalise and charismatic Gabriel – will soon discover who he truly is. “Half Bad” features a score by the British pop group Let’s Eat Grandma and stars Jay Lycurgo, Nadia Parkes, Emilien Vekemans, Isobel Jesper Jones, Paul Ready, David Gyasi, Kerry Fox, Liz White, Karen Connell, Fehinti Balogun, and

Netflix Review: "Wednesday" From Tim Burton

Netflix Review: “Wednesday” From Tim Burton

Like many Addams Family fans, I was thrilled to hear that Tim Burton and Netflix were teaming up for the series “Wednesday,” which premiered earlier this month on the streaming giant. I binged the series, and I have some thoughts. In the series, we see Wednesday shipped off to a school for outcasts and monsters, Nevermore Academy. While she hates it at first, she is soon swept up in a mystery surrounding killed students and townspeople after she begins to have visions. Along the way, she makes friends and enemies. First off, let me say that Jenna Ortega was a brilliant casting decision. She makes a fantastic Wednesday and captures the character’s darkness perfectly. However, the rest of the Addams family wasn’t quite so lucky. Catherine Zeta-Jones plays the role of Morticia but lacks the iconic sexiness and elegance of the character. When it comes to Gomez, played by Luis Guzmán, the character is missing the suaveness we’ve come to
