Will a GTA movie ever happen?

While a GTA movie is certainly possible, the main reason fans have not seen a TV adaptation is due to the high risk involved. Dan Houser, one of the co-founders of Rockstar Games who left back in 2020 revealed that there were many chances for a GTA movie.

However, at the time, going ahead with a movie meant losing control over their IP the result of which is something that might likely hurt the image. This was due to most adaptations being heavily criticized by the gaming community.

A similar sentiment was also displayed by Hidetaka Miyazaki who, during an interview with The Guardian, revealed that a TV Adaptation is certainly welcomed, but they lack technical knowledge in this matter and would appreciate external help pointing out that they are still aiming to do things their way.
