Netflix's BioShock adaptation will be a "more personal" film "as opposed to a grander, big project"
"The new regime has lowered the budgets."
Netflix's BioShock adaptation has been "reconfigured" to be a "more personal" film with a tighter budget.
That's according to producer Roy Lee, who told fans at a panel at San Diego Comic-Con that changes at the top of Netflix's movie department have seen the budget streamlined.
"The new regime has lowered the budgets," Lee added, as reported by Variety.
"So we're doing a much smaller version... It's going to be a more personal point of view, as opposed to a grander, big project."
Lee also told the audience that Netflix had also changed its "compensation strategy" so that, like more traditional film production studios, bonuses are attached to viewership, "motivat[ing] the producers to actually do a move that gets a bigger audience".
Last week, a screenshot purportedly taken from Cloud Chamber's upcoming BioShock game - codenamed "Parkside" - popped up online.
Whilst the image itself isn't particularly exciting - we can see a weapon, called the "ricochet shotgun" and some kind of weird glowing sphere, er, thing - we do get to see how the UI looked at the time the demo was created (thought to be around 2021), and get our first peek at some of the powers available to players.
