GTA Movie is IT Possible?

Always a chance.

Worse ideas have been greenlit.

Personally, though, i hope they don't. I'd rather see the money invested into the next game.

I'm not sure if GTA IV was based off of something though.error11

It reminds me of Training Day and Shaft:|

The GTA games are based ON movies, therefore, they would just be remaking a bunch of movies. GTA 3- The Godfather, GTA VC- Scarface, GTA SA- Boys in the Hood. I'm not sure if GTA IV was based off of something though.error11

I haven't played it yet, but I think GTA4 isn't based (directly) on, nor is it a deliberate homage to any particular film. I remember reading in an interview that they wanted to make their own work, or something, and be taken more seriously as a competitor to film, rather than an offshoot of film.

But remember that there's also GTA1 and 2. Obviously, neither have much of a story - but GTA2 certainly has the setting and character for a potentially awesome film. It wouldn't be too hard to come up with an interesting story when you've got Zaibatsu, the Russian mafia, Rednecks and a militant order of Hare krishnas (and more) in a big power struggle, with the protagonist in the middle.

I'm thinking something like Guy Ritchie's Snatch mixed with Max Barry's Jennifer Government, set in a futuristic America.

I'd also like to see a Doom movie... with one lone marine against hordes and hordes of Hellspawn. Probably be over three hours long but anyway...

Topic: If they make a good story, its possible.

What exactly would make it a Grand Theft Auto movie? They steal cars? Oh havn't seen that before in a gangster movie :roll:

Same. I'd like to see something set entirely in the first person with very styIised visuals, and a strong emphasis on that visual styIe, much like 300. Just the glory of the slaughter.

But I'd probably have to run under sixty minutes.

So basically you want a movie that is like you watching a person playing a video game? With no story? No character?.. :?

Well, I make room for the inclusion of several marines and some dialogue and character, but I don't see story as being necessary for an excellent film experience. Just like games, or even literature, well executed styIe can undermine the need for story.

The inclusion of an excellent story on top of that styIe is always a good thing, provided it doesn't get in the way of that styIe, but a Doom film in my vision would be, much like 300 if you cut out the wife subplot, purely and only about the audio and visual experience.

To illustrate what I mean, because I am being kind of sideways with my description, consider Eastern martial arts films. Western people don't watch them for the "story" or the "characters" or anything like that. Well, such is my experience. They are watched for one reason above all else - the martial arts. The combat is the sole purpose for the existence of the film, and everything else exists purely to give context to the martial arts, but is ultimately disposable.

The same principle can easily be applied to other concepts - in this case, replace martial arts with styIised audio and visuals. That is what 300 is, and as much as possible, things like story and character and perhaps even dialogue are, rather than being included but utterly disposable, simply disposed of.

All that is really left is the audio/visual experience, but the film works because that is all it tries to do, and it does it extremely well. A lot of people don't "get" 300; they treat it like a typical film. It isn't, it doesn't try to be and I don't think a Doom film should be, either.

I'd want it to be just a very intense and styIised audio visual experience built around a guy, or a small group of guys, slaughtering very iconic enemies with iconic weapons in artistic and cool ways.

good riddance! I hope they'll never make a GTA movie
