Additonal Info:
Controversial movie director Uwe Boll has gone on record to state he feels he is the ideal candidate for helming a movie adaptation of Rockstar’s Grand Theft Auto franchise.
Speaking to Vulture, Boll commented, “Grand Theft Auto would be super interesting for me, and I think I would actually be the right guy to do it,” explaining, "because my movies are all bloody and violent and I don't have a problem with action scenes.”
Boll added that he feels the movie will likely end up a compromised affair in the hands of another director, stating, "But look, they will go, in the end, with a Michael Bay 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,” he said.
Boll has worked on a number of videogame to film adaptations over the years, including Alone in the Dark and The House of the Dead.

wth??
Oh HEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLLLLL NO. i don't want him anywhere near a GTA movie. NO Fing WAY. But he is right, a GTA movie will have to be an R rated movie, no PG-13 crap.
Uwe Boll should really rot i, whats this guys problem anyway?
ohh way bowl can go fück himself, I don't want him anywhere near GTA
This guy is a joke among jokes...He has yet to make a movie that has been praised (even in a modest way), yet he thinks he is in a group of genius directors. This guy should be banned to stay away from movies. Even the Doom movie was a better attempt then he has ever made.
Let's ignore him
It is the only way to make him disappear
Please let it not be Uwe Boll anyone but him ! lol the only good movie i watched of him was bloodrayne 1 the 2nd one went to hel.l just like the rest of he's movies i hear tho that postol is a good movie i still need to see it to believe it :P let the makers of RE movie's or Sony take this one and make a movie out of it even tho that GTA is kinda like a movie in game i don't see much of a point to it if you really want to see something like GTA i would say go watch Scarface ^_^
Uwe Boll is not the right guy to make ANY movie, christ the guy probably can't even make a decent home movie and should be banned from handling any camera period.
Also, check out the Stop Dr. Uwe Boll petition, supposedly if enough people sign it, he will retire. Yeah right, he'll probably just challenge everyone to boxing matchs.
EDIT: He also claimed that he was in talks to direct a Metal Gear movie as well..........what a stupid fool.
It's almost as if this guy doesn't know he sucks. I say we sign a petetion asking that he never make another video game movie and mail it to him...whos with me?!
psn id: gingo... i dont think a GTA movie will ever be pg-13 the director will always push the limits of what they can get away with and make this as 18 rated as possible
@AK40rtySe7en i'm with you bro :D
@AK40rtySe7en - Lmao, the sad part about your petition idea...is that they already did...And Boll HIMSELF put it up, stating that if people got a 1,000,000 signatures against him, he'd never make a movie again.
Please Take Two, don't ever give him the rights to make this movie. I bet Boll has been given a crappy script which was about a gangster in NY. Boll read it and thought 'I know I can make this into a movie and call it GTA, it doesn't matter how bad it turns out because I know I'll make a killing at the box office just on the franchise name alone'
I would want David Jones to write and Direct it, even if he has no experience in Directing film he can't do a worse job than Boll the nob.
i wasn't expecting this
Why doesHollywood want to steal ideas for other forms of entertainment? Why can't a great video game be left as a great video game? Why can't a great comic book be left as a great comic book? Why can’t a great novel just stay a great novel? Why can’t they just come up with their own ideas? Yeah, some might make some great stories for movies and it would end up being awesome. There is the potential to do this the right way and some have done this before, but it's more likely some horrible producer or director will get the rights to something they know nothing about. They'll make changes they think will "improve" the movie and end up destroying something that was once great. Then they'll make a video game based on the movie and the video game will be even worse than the movie. I'm all for making money and hate communism, but if you're in the art of making movies, don't compromise the art for money. Don’t try to put forth “your vision” of something you know nothing about. Have some pride in what you do, not the amount of money you can rake in from the gullible public.
ugh, a grand theft auto movie, please dont, i dont care if speilsberg makes it, what makes gta fun is that its you conrolling whats hapenning, not some multi milionare pretending and you would never be able to make a story on a gta game in a 3 hour movie
i dont even know what to think, if the movie is bad a s s then make it but dont ruin gta credibility
Next he'll be wanting MGS, he'll just rip the cut scenes and slap his name on the front. At least we knows he's good at one thing...making people laugh. When will he be admitted to the Guinness World Records for worst movie director EVER!!!
And all of his movies suck. That's why Kojima Productions and Sony Pictures turned him away from the MGS4 film, that's why his name never popped up for the Halo film, and a bunch of other dev houses said that he will never touch any game adaption of a movie.
Go away Uwe Boll... Go back to doing regular movies that have nothing to do with video games.
I could make a lot better movies than him with the same budget.. but then again thats not really a feat is it :
The PSU Nazi's have warned us, guys. Let's keep it clean or we'll suffer their Wrath!
First, these games have an expansive story, and are not all action. I hope this guy isn't the director, and I hope it is a rated R movie like it should be!
Noooooooooooooooo Wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!
NNNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, don't do it, why oh why are they trying to ruin GTA.
Uwe Boll....Uwe Suck
Well I feel he isnt the right man to do a gta movie. I think if a movie has cinematic quality enough it should be left alone. But if I were to chose a director it would be between, Ridley Scott, Tarantino, and Spike Lee. Im sorry but Uwe Boll is a no no.
NO. WTF IS WRONG WITH THIS GUY! STOP TRYING TO RUIN ALL THE BEST FRANCHISES!! holy crap. just die, already.
never stop making game movies please why must you ruin our games
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!!!! Uwe Boll completely ruined Alone In The Dark! that movie should have never been made especially by him, as he really screwed up big time on that one. GTA should stay as a game only playing it is the movie by itself.... But if they really have to do a movie give it to Oliver Stone or Quentin Tarrintino or someone like that....
He feels like he's the right guy because he wants to make monah. How hard is that to see? Milk the franchise like a cow and give no care to its fanbase or franchise.
