Way back in the bad old days of 2008, Universal Pictures had the brilliant idea to produce a live action BioShock movie. The movie never happened but concept art featuring the potential movie was released by concept artist Kasra Farhani for fans.

The concept art from Farhani's website shows various Rapture scenes- head on over there to see them all. These aren't the places that Jack traveled through during the game, these are the sort of back halls and industrial settings that the Little Sisters would have crawled through with their Big Daddies for safety while collecting ADAM.
The art focuses on industrialized scenery for the most part, the giant mechanisms that must exist under Rapture to keep it working. There are also a few images featuring a Big Daddy and his Little Sister.

BioShock came out in 2007 and was considered to be the spiritual successor to System Shock. The plot revolved around a man named Jack who found himself in an underwater city that had been driven to ruin by Ayn Rand politics and the use of drug-like Plasmids that gave their users powers.
The movie was commissioned a year later but was stalled because director Gore Verbinski wanted a massive budget to make an R-rated film. Which makes sense, it's probably expensive to build an entire underwater utopia gone wrong.
After wallowing in developmental hell for two years, Ken Levine, the creator of BioShock, shut it down for good. The film did have a screenplay written but other than that and the concept art, unfortunately not much else was done.
You were just too good for this world BioShock. You can still play the game, though, even on your phone.
