Michael and Franklin in Grand Theft Auto V
Summary Former Grand Theft Auto franchise executive Dan Houser explains why audiences won't be getting a movie adaptation of the hit video game. After the release of the first game in 1997, the world of Rockstar Games' successful franchise expanded with numerous sequels and spinoffs, most recently with the acclaimed Grand Theft Auto V in 2013.
“After a few awkward dates, we’d ask , why would we do this? 'Because you get to make a movie.' And we'd be like, no, what you've described is you making a movie and us having no control and taking a huge risk that we’re going to end up paying for with something that belongs to us. Should A Grand Theft Auto Movie Adaptation Happen? Why The Jump To The Big Screen Would Be A Challenge Grand Theft Auto remains immensely popular, meaning there would be a large built-in audience for any movie adaptation. If a movie did move forward, however, it would face a number of key challenges. Unlike a game like Red Dead Redemption or its hit sequel, there isn't one clear Grand Theft Auto protagonist that serves as an obvious choice around which to build a film.
