A GTA Hollywood movie was once turned down by president of Rockstar Games Sam Houser.
The information was revealed by Kirk Ewing on the BBC Sounds podcast Bugzy Malone’s Grandest Game, in which the rapper talks about the impacts the GTA series had on him.
The podcast also contains a rundown of the series’ history, presented by Chris Warburton.
In episode two, Warburton spoke to Ewing about the earlier years of the series, when the franchise began to hit the mainstream. Ewing, a friend of some developers at DMA Design (which became Rockstar North in 2002), was working as an agent within Hollywood.
