Liberty City Style Would Be Like The Godfather, Vice City Style Would Be Like Scarface, And San Andreas Would Be A Porno. (God This Never Gets Old)

They can just do it Fight Club style and slide single frames of it in.

We should give'im a nickname... What about "The Headliner"?

...Hm, that seems a bit lame, but I'm pretty tired, so I'm not functioning at 100%.

I can't speak much for most of the series as I've only played San Andreas, but I don't think it would make a good movie just because too much would be lost in translating from one format to another. What makes it such a great game isn't so much the plot but rather the freedom you have to do anything you want and explore the gigantic world, and you don't get any of that with a movie.

First of all, Grand Theft Auto (http://imdb.com/title/tt0076100/?fr=c2l0ZT1kZnx0dD0xfGZiPXV8cG49MHxrdz0xfHE9Z3JhbmQgdGhlZnQgYXV0b3xmdD0xfG14PTIwfGxtPTUwMHxjbz0xfGh0 bWw9MXxubT0x;fc=1;ft=22;fm=1) is already a cult classic by none other than Ron Howard for producer Roger Corman.

Further, since the GTA series borrows from crime movies and TV shows for its story lines there are several versions of it as a movie out there.

But even further, the game is pretty cinematic and deep in its storyline (well, sort of deep) so I don't know how much more enjoyable a movie version would be.

And then there is always the chance that it will be directed by Uwe Bolls, and no one wants that...

It was fast-paced and full of crashes, but aside from that, it really didn't have much going for it. It's a fun watch, but it's really "thin".

Most of that can be gleaned from 'for producer Roger Corman'

No no, Corman had nothing to do with Apollo 13-Roger Corman (http://imdb.com/name/nm0000339/?fr=c2l0ZT1kZnx0dD0xfGZiPXV8cG49MHxrdz0xfHE9cm9nZXIgY29ybWFufGZ0PTF8bXg9MjB8bG09NTAwfGNvPTF8aHRtbD0x fG5tPTE_;fc=1;ft=21;fm=1)

No no, I meant that as a compliment to Ron's directing ability.

Hey! Don't forget the melee combat with the giant purple double-headed dildo that you find in at least one of the jails.
And/or the bouquet of flowers.
And the jetpack.

So who'd play Carl, and who'd play Sweet.
It's, i imagine, a given that Samuel would play that one cop. As far as standards go, remember that he was in The Man AND the VGA.

They could make so much cash off of that. If they got Jerry Bruckheimer or John Woo to direct it, it would be sooo money! I would watch it in a heartbeat!

lol, yeah.

Or the katana. Why a katana? Why is a black man running around a military base decapitating soldiers with a katana? Who cares, it's fun. :p

Yeah, but the point is moot since you can beat up anyone.

The game doesn't really get fun until everyone has a weapon. When a grandma turns a flame thrower on the gang member that just bumped her on the corner, that's when it's party time...

Moddamned right!!
BTW, the cheat for the sandstorm makes it so that the fighters basically can't shoot you down when you fly out of the county. I like the jetpack personally, but i've made it with a jet and a plane before. It's not easy flying though.

Start Making a cast for the movie. We know Samuel L. Jackson would do San Andreras, and Chris Penn would've been in it(R.I.P.) but I dunno who else.
