Jack Quaid Eyes Bioshock Role Amid Max Payne Comparisons in Novocaine

Apr 18,25

Jack Quaid, known for his role in "The Boys," has expressed his enthusiasm for a potential BioShock movie, citing the game as one of his all-time favorites. During a Reddit AMA promoting his latest film, Novocaine, Quaid highlighted the game's rich lore as a perfect fit 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."

The possibility of a BioShock movie becoming a reality remains uncertain. Last July, producer Roy Lee mentioned that the project had undergone significant changes due to leadership shifts at Netflix, resulting in a "reconfigured" and "more personal" film. Lee noted that budget cuts had influenced the project, but details about the plot remain under wraps. Francis Lawrence, known for directing the Hunger Games series, is still set to direct the film.

In the same Reddit AMA, Quaid acknowledged his striking resemblance to Max Payne, the video game character modeled after Remedy writer Sam Lake. Fans have even speculated that scenes from Quaid's new action movie, Novocaine, resemble a Max Payne film. Quaid admitted to the resemblance but confessed he has yet to play Max Payne, which is currently being remade by Remedy in collaboration with Rockstar.

Beyond BioShock, Quaid revealed his passion for FromSoftware's challenging games. He shared his journey through Bloodborne, Sekiro, and now Elden Ring, expressing how he uses Reddit to seek tips and tricks for overcoming the games' tough bosses. "I'm a huge video game nerd," Quaid said. "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."
