Jack Quaid, known for his role in *The Boys*, has expressed his enthusiasm for appearing in a potential BioShock movie, citing the first-person shooter as one of his all-time favorite games. During a Reddit AMA coinciding with the release of his new film, *Novocaine*, Quaid praised BioShock for its "rich lore," which he believes could be effectively explored in a film or TV adaptation. He stated, "I would actually love to be in a live-action adaptation of BioShock - one of my favorite games of all time. I think there's such a rich lore to that game that could be explored in a TV or movie adaptation."
However, the realization of a BioShock movie remains uncertain. Last July, producer Roy Lee mentioned that the project had undergone changes due to shifts in leadership, resulting in a "reconfigured" and "more personal" film. These changes were influenced by reduced budgets from Netflix. While specific plot details remain undisclosed, it's clear that the adaptation has shifted from a larger-scale project to a more intimate narrative. Hunger Games director Francis Lawrence is still set to direct this altered version of the film.
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, leading to speculation about a potential Max Payne movie. Quaid admitted, "I've seen people say that I look like Max Payne, and when I've looked at the box art, even I did a double-take. I love Rockstar's games, but unfortunately I've never played that one - it's next on the list, for sure."
Beyond BioShock, Quaid revealed his passion for FromSoftware games, particularly enjoying the challenges presented by titles like *Bloodborne* and *Elden Ring*. He shared, "I'm a huge video game nerd. And lately I've been diving headfirst into the FromSoftware library. I beat Bloodborne, then I beat Sekiro, and now I'm going full boar into Elden Ring. Actually, the thing I use Reddit the most for is tips and tricks on beating Fromsoft's bosses. I love how challenging the games are - it took me a while to get into them, but now I'm obsessed."
