Conceptually it’s a bad idea. Bioshock’s narrative power comes from the fact that it is a game, with player input and decisions. The entire plot twist centers around this, and the dealings with the Little Sisters are only narratively powerful because it is YOU who is deciding. It is a master class in video games as a narrative device. A movie adaptation strips out that soul, and leaves behind only the husk of the setting. You can’t have the meaningful decision making of different plasmids, of sparing Little Sisters or farming them for Adam, or even of choosing to kill the enemies. At that point just make a Bioshock inspired dieselpunk show, because all of the important innards of Bioshock are gone. Or just play Infinite, since it’s just as soulless and basically a movie anyways.
