Finn said:Luckily that's just Uwe talking. No one has granted him any rights to do a GTA movie yet.
Rockstar likely ought to do the same as Blizzard, since they upon asking if Uwe could direct a movie based on the Warcraft franchise politely told him to... well, f**k off.
|ZiR| said:Actually, I don't think Uwe Boll would be a bad choice for a GTA movie. Gratuitous violence and car chases is all the game is, right? Sounds like it was made for Boll; or better yet, Mr. Michael Bay.

Rockstar Games responds:I made Ron Howard’s first picture as a director, Grand Theft Auto. I actually sued the video game manufacturer who flat-out stole the idea. We settled out of court and they gave me some money. I retain the right to remake it, but the way it was actually written in the contract is a little bit cloudy. My lawyers are actually studying that contract to make certain that I have a clear title to remake my picture, and I will remake Grand Theft Auto.
Mr. Corman made a number of inaccurate statements about the resolution of his 2004 nuisance lawsuit against Take-Two, but we will specifically address two of them: his false claims about the content of our games and his purported right to “re-make” his 1977 film.
Take-Two owns all rights for films related to the Grand Theft Auto video game series. Take-Two can and will take appropriate legal action against anyone attempting to misuse our intellectual property by attempting to make a new film titled Grand Theft Auto. In fact, Take-Two has already taken legal action a number of times in the past to protect its rights from those intending to “re-make” Mr. Corman’s 1977 film. All those film projects were subsequently abandoned.
