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

Apr 09,25

Jack Quaid, star of the hit series *The Boys*, expressed his enthusiasm for appearing in a potential *BioShock* movie during a recent Reddit AMA, coinciding with the release of his latest film, *Novocaine*. Quaid praised the game's "rich lore," suggesting it has significant potential for a compelling adaptation into a TV series or movie. He stated, "I would actually love to be in a live action adaptation of Bioshock - one of my favorite games of all time."

The possibility of a *BioShock* movie has been a topic of interest, especially after producer Roy Lee mentioned in July of last year that the project had undergone a "reconfiguration" due to leadership changes. This shift aims to create a "more personal" film, influenced by budget constraints from Netflix. Although specifics about the plot remain under wraps, Francis Lawrence, known for directing *The Hunger Games*, is still set to helm the project. Lee noted, "The new regime has lowered the budgets... 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."

In addition to his interest in *BioShock*, Quaid's resemblance to the video game character Max Payne has caught the attention of fans, particularly with scenes from *Novocaine* sparking comparisons. Quaid acknowledged the similarity, stating, "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." However, he admitted to not having played *Max Payne*, though it's on his list to explore, given his love for Rockstar Games.

Quaid also shared his passion for FromSoftware's challenging titles, such as *Bloodborne* and *Elden Ring*. He described himself as a "huge video game nerd" and detailed his journey through FromSoftware's library, saying, "I beat Bloodborne, then I beat Sekiro, and now I'm going full boar into Elden Ring." Quaid uses Reddit frequently to seek tips and tricks for overcoming the games' notorious bosses, emphasizing his appreciation for their difficulty and engagement.
