In a Reddit thread, a photo of Rockstar's 7-disc "Grand Theft Auto V" collection is said to be ready to ship, although the origin of the image has not been confirmed and could be part of an international market. According to Game Spot, another photo of the PC edition "GTA V" also appeared via Twitter, with stacks of the game shown, presumably taken from inside a warehouse.
The PC edition of "GTA V" will be hitting stores next week, as it is set to be released on April 14. The digital version, on the other hand, is already available for pre-load from the Rockstar Warehouse and Steam.
According to the official Rockstar Games website, "GTA V" will also include the Rockstar Editor, which give the players a slew of editing tools to create their own gameplay clips and post them on Social Club or YouTube.
While gameplay clips are awesome in their own right, fans of the game will be excited to know that there is more news, this time, regarding the "GTA" film that is slowly coming to fruition.
Yes, there is an interest in making a "Grand Theft Auto" film, although instead of thievery and heists, it will be about the creator of the hit gaming franchise.
The Hollywood Reporter noted that "Harry Potter" star Daniel Radcliffe is currently under negotiations to portray co-founder and president of Rockstar Games, Sam Houser in the film. Titled "Grand Theft Auto," it will center on the conflict between Houser and a disbarred Miami lawyer who wanted to put a stop on games with themes of violence.
Although Radcliffe's involvement has not been confirmed yet, more details should surface soon because according to IGN, the film is supposed to begin shooting on April 20. While this has not been confirmed, the actor will appear in a new film from Fox called "Victor Frankenstein" which is a new take on the classic Mary Shelley tale, opening in theaters October 2. He will also be appearing in a sequel to Lionsgate's horror film, "Now You See Me," The Hollywood Reporter added.
"Grand Theft Auto" the movie is to be directed by "Misfits" and "Black Mirror" helmsman Owen Harris, who only recently wrapped up filming his first feature film, "Kill Your Friends" starring "X-Men: Days of Future Past" actor Nicholas Hoult, and "Into The Woods" character, James Corden.
The BBC Films-produced drama is written for the screen by James Wood, with Jim Spencer producing, and Mark Hedgecoe as an executive producer.
