Jack Quaid Eyes Bioshock Role Amid Comparisons to Max Payne in Novocaine

Jack Quaid, known for his role in "The Boys," has expressed his enthusiasm for appearing in a potential BioShock movie, citing the game as one of his all-time favorites. During a Reddit AMA promoting his new film, Novocaine, Quaid highlighted the rich lore of BioShock, suggesting it would be well-suited 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. "I think there's such a rich lore to that game that could be explored in a TV or movie adaptation."

However, the prospects of a BioShock movie coming to fruition remain uncertain. Producer Roy Lee mentioned last July that due to leadership changes, the project had been "reconfigured" to focus on a "more personal" narrative, influenced by budget cuts from Netflix. Despite these changes, Hunger Games director Francis Lawrence is still set to direct the film. The exact plot details remain under wraps, leaving fans curious about the direction the movie will take.

In addition to his interest in BioShock, Quaid has drawn comparisons to another video game icon, Max Payne, due to his striking resemblance to the character, whose likeness is based on Remedy writer Sam Lake. Quaid acknowledged the similarity, admitting that he has yet to play Max Payne but plans to do so soon. He also shared his love for FromSoftware games, having conquered titles like Bloodborne, Sekiro, and now tackling Elden Ring, using Reddit to seek tips on overcoming the games' challenging bosses.
