    The fact that this is the first thing I have even heard of this movie and it’s bad news does not bode well. I’ll keep my expectations low, but I do hope they succeed in making a good movie.

      Yeah first I heard too.

      Honestly a small budget might be better though, since it will emphasise focusing onthe story and the characters, rather than getting grandiose ideas and making a show which is visually gorgeous, but vapid.

        Yeah, I’d rather watch something with less spectacle but a lot of heart. Maybe they will lean into the horror elements a bit more.

      Yeah, first time I hear about it too. Which feels weird because especially after Fallout & Arcane I thought Ella Purnell could make an amazing Elizabeth for a Bioshock adaptation, continuing her little streak of video game adaptations.
