At this rate, it looks as if a movie based on Rockstar’s Grand Theft Auto is likely to become a reality before the video game series’ long-awaited sixth installment ever materializes. Having just recently celebrated its seventh birthday, GTA V continues to make money hand over fist for the title’s aforementioned creator and publisher Take-Two, not just with game sales (which somehow continue to top the charts) but with microtransactions available in its online component.
Fans in their millions still make regular day trips to Los Santos in order to mingle with other like-minded players and partake in the mode’s cornerstone Heist content, all with the ultimate goal of making green to spend on digital life luxuries. With even more updates due to arrive before 2020 comes to an end, then, you’d be forgiven for thinking Rockstar’s priorities still very much lie with supporting GTA Online instead of delivering a sequel.
Perhaps it’s for that very same reason, then, that a movie based specifically on the series’ fifth entry is said to be in the works.
Sources have revealed to WGTC that the project is reportedly in the early stages of development and will presumably feature live-action versions of characters Michael, Franklin and Trevor. The latter is pure speculation on our part, of course, but considering the trio’s memorability (especially the latter; brought to life by a spectacular performance from actor Steven Ogg), it would certainly make perfect sense for the career criminals to be a film adaptation’s focal point.
Whether this would lead to Ned Luke (Michael), Shawn Fonteno (Franklin) and Ogg reprising their roles for such a venture remains to be seen, though we certainly can’t imagine anyone else filling their shoes for a slice of live-action GTA V action. We’ll hopefully have more details to share on this one in the near future but in the meantime, let us know what you’d like to see from a Grand Theft Auto movie in the usual place below!
