You know what the world doesn't need? Uwe Boll making any more films based on videogames. I mean, I love the guy, but enough with the game films already. But how about Boll making a Grand Theft Auto film?
"Grand Theft Auto would be super interesting for me," he tells New York Magazine, "and I think I would actually be the right guy to do it, because my movies are all bloody and violent and I don't have a problem with action scenes."
But he's a realist and seems convinced it'll never happen ... at least with him behind the lens.
"But look, they will go, in the end, with a Michael Bay," he says, name-checking his arch-nemesis, "or a Brett Ratner, and it will be a PG-13 movie made for $150 million. I think it would be better to make a $30 million, very hard, brutal movie without compromising, but I'm not optimistic."
Does anyone really think a highly secretive and protective company like Rockstar would let Hollywood rape their lucrative series? Besides, Ron Howard already wrote, directed, and starred in a Grand Theft Auto movie in 1977. So I say to the whole idea: OLD.

He is still a class-A jackass with his head so far up his ass he thinks everything stinks as much as he does.
As a side note, Michael Bay who must have a car chase in every movie would be perfect for GTA the film.
Dexter you are sooooooooooooooooooo right.
What happened to the Crazy Taxi and Getaway movies?
And, please locate the nearest mental institution and check yourself in.
I'm not kidding.
Right there is why he won't he doesn't understand the game other than from what he's heard. Thats his problem he makes game movies but never plays the game and never understands the game.
That's a good one. Still, GTA movie? I'm sure Thompson would support that just because it's non-interactive.
Hes nto even good enough to show the story in GTA 1969 let alone GTA4 with some of the best story of a GTA!
Directors who are qualified to make a GTA movie:
Quentin Tarantino
Robert Rodriguez
David Fincher
Almost every part of a GTA game is loosely based on an existing movie anyway. If they made a GTA film it would just seem too derivative to be enjoyable, I think, 'cause we've already seen everything before. It's the interaction with the player that makes the story elements compelling and fresh.
