Question Grand Theft Auto: The Movie


Back in 2004 there were plans to make a Grand Theft Auto: Vice City movie with Eminem as the main character of Tommy Vercetti.
Of course, Eminem dropped out and the movie was cancelled.

Then 4 years later in 2008 there was another plan to make a Grand Theft Auto movie however this also didn't go to plan and never made it onto the big screen.

I would love if they made a GTA Movie, It would be amazing.
But the question is, what GTA Game do you think would be brilliant as a movie?

Based on the characters, storyline and location.

I'm going to just give a quick synopsis of each game, quickly.
I hope you all base this on what you think would make a good movie rather than what you liked playing the most!




Title: Grand Theft Auto III
Released: 2001
Characters: Claude Speed | Catalina | 8 Ball
Location: Liberty City



Set: 2001
Story: The player character has robbed the Liberty City Bank with his girlfriend, Catalina, and a male accomplice. While running from the scene, Catalina shoots him and leaves him to die in an alley; the accomplice is also seen lying nearby. The player character survives but has been arrested and subsequently found guilty and sentenced to jail. While he is being transferred, an attack on the police convoy aimed at kidnapping an unrelated prisoner sets him free.



Title: Grand Theft Auto Vice City
Released: 2002
Characters: Tommy Vercetti | Ricardo Diaz | Lance Vance
Location: Vice City



Set: 1986
Story: The player takes on the role of Tommy Vercetti, a man who was released from prison in 1986 after serving 15 years for killing eleven people.
An angered Sonny Forelli arrives in Vice City with a small army of mafioso and street thugs, a massive shoot out takes place in Tommy's new mansion until he finally kills Sonny and Lance Vance, who betrayed Tommy at a later stage of the game.



Title: Grand Theft Auto San Andreas
Released: 2004
Characters: Carl Johnson | Grove Street | Officer Tempenny
Location: Los Santos | The Badlands | San Fierro | Las Venturas



Set: 1992
Story: After living in Liberty City for 5 Years, It was time to go home.
Carl arrives back in San Andreas only to find that his mother has been murdered and his families are falling apart.
In an immense tail of loyalty and betrayal, CJ finds himself on a journey throughout San Andreas to find and take down his mom's murder and bring Grove Street back together.


Title: Grand Theft Auto IV
Released: 2008
Characters: Niko Bellic | Dimitri Rascalov | Roman Bellic
Location: Liberty City



Set: 2008
Story: Niko Bellic is fresh of the boat and comes to Liberty City to live the American Dream, but things don't get off to a good start when he's thrown into feuds with Loan Sharks and Drug Wars.
Alot like San Andreas this story sees alot of betrayal by people you thought were your friends, although Niko does manage to make some friends along the way.
Niko's main priority is to find and kill a man that once betrayed him and his friends years back. The story has two possible endings decided on by the player.




So which do you think deserves to be a movie?

My favourite game is probably Vice City and GTA IV.
I would love Vice City to be a movie but it's more to do with the location and stuff and there is other movies set in Miami in the 80's anyway.

GTA IV's storyline is bollocks, there's no depth and at times it felt like I didn't even know what I was playing to achieve where as with San Andreas I always knew what the main goal was.
GTA IV is fun to play but would it make a good movie? I'd fall asleep through it.

San Andreas is the winner for me, I've always said this game is over rated and it is but the storyline is fantastic and I would love to see the characters and the missions come to life on the big screen, it would just be amazing.

I think some day they will make a GTA Movie.
I mean they wanted to once the only thing that stopped them was Emenim, I don't know why they picked him to be Tommy anyway

And of course they wanted to do one again in 2008 the only thing that stopped this was Rockstar weren't on board and they didn't have the rights.
But you never know, I think one day they will and I hope if they do, they go back to San Andreas.


What do you think?
