hugh750 Posted October 16, 2010 Share Posted October 16, 2010 what would you do if they did make a movie based on the gta game series, And which gta game should they base it from gta 3, gta vc, gta san andreas or gta 4?

AceRay Posted October 16, 2010 Share Posted October 16, 2010 Its in the GTA4 forum, so I'll discuss that. It would have to have a lot cut out of it, and it would have to linear ie Niko can't just randomly shoot people in free-roam. But other than that, it should be OK Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/461098-if-they-made-a-gta-movie/#findComment-1060163737 Share on other sites More sharing options...
OverTheBelow Posted October 16, 2010 Share Posted October 16, 2010 They'd probably try and get Tom Cruise to be Niko or something absurd like that. Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/461098-if-they-made-a-gta-movie/#findComment-1060163868 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dominico Posted October 16, 2010 Share Posted October 16, 2010 If they would ever make a GTA movie I bet they will use Jason Statham as main character. He looks tough and he could be a Niko or a Claude Speed. Or even John Klebitz, why not?

SilentSeas Posted October 16, 2010 Share Posted October 16, 2010 I probably wouldn't watch it unless it got amazing reviews because most game based movies suck. If GTA ever has to be into another media, then a Soprano TV series would work better as they wouldn't need to shrink the story and more characters can appear.

cidamelo Posted October 16, 2010 Share Posted October 16, 2010 I agree with 02fishera! And this actor should play Niko Bellic, they're identical!! Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/461098-if-they-made-a-gta-movie/#findComment-1060164545 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puto Bendejo Posted October 16, 2010 Share Posted October 16, 2010 (edited) truth, most movies based on video games suck totally for the gamer. there is NO gaming experience in a movie. so the gamer is ALWAYS dissapointed. "Max Payne" was an ok movie, but it was NOT the "Max Payne" I role-played in 3 different games. "Resident Evil" was an ok movie series, but again, NOT the games! "Mortal Kombat" had more potential than was used in the movies, but fell short of being anything close to good movies. "Mario Bros'" and "Street Fighter" both sucked on Every level. However, "Street Fighter-The Legend of Chuin Lee" I actually enjoyed. good movie, only loosely based on a character from "Street Fighter". You really can't recreate the gaming environment into a movie. It will dissapoint everytime! All of that said, I would not look forward to a movie franchise using any aspect of GTA from any era. There are enough action shooter mob betrayal movies out and coming without creating more fuel for haters and bitchers. @ Cidamelo: there has been much speculation that Niko's character was based on that character Sascha from the 1st "Behind Enemy Lines" movie. Similar appearance, background, and all that. I agree he should indeed play Niko if anyone is stupid enough to attempt a big screen adaption of a GTA game. lets hope R* and Take2 don't make this mistake. @ Dominico: I'm a huge fan of Jason Stathom. I first took real notice of him in the 1st Transpoorter movie, and have collected every movie I can find with him. He'd also be a good choice. (I disagreed with someone who said he'd make a great Prince Namor in the upcoming Submariner Movie, as I think Mat Damon has the facial features and acting skill to pull it off much better) I've often thought Jason would be a good charactor for the part of Niko, but I still hold that any movie adaption would only dissapoint us GTA gamers. although I have the opposite feelings for movie adaptions of comic book characters (especially since Chris Nolan has taken over directing for the batman and Superman movies,And the Marvel Universe is being brought together in many films for the upcoming Avengers Movie) I've always thought Stathom would play a good Niko, tho.

AceRay Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 At Cidmelo's post: That guy who played Sasha in Behind Enemy Lines (great film) was about 30 in 2001. Which would make him about 40 now.

Prasdana Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 nice idea and if the voice actors similiar to the protagonist they should make him as the main character ex:Young Maylay is the voice actor of CJ and I think he is a good choises Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/461098-if-they-made-a-gta-movie/#findComment-1060165078 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Puto Bendejo Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 I think he may pull it off! And what about the other characters? Who would play Ray Boccino? Claude Speed= John Travolta (versatile enough to pull it off without speaking) Catrina= Michelle Rodriquez Tommy Vercetti= Andrew Dice Clay Carl Johnson=Jimmy Walker ('70's Good Times) at beginning, then Ving Rhames after a few trips to the gym Niko bellic= Jason Stathom Roman Bellic=Danny DeVito Ray Boccino= Ray Liotta, or George Clooney Dimitri Rascalov= Dolf Lundgren Jimmy Pegorino= Lloyd Bridges Luiz Lopez= Ice T Gay Tony=Robert Downey Jr Johnny Klebitz= Steve Austin (stone cold) Billy Gray= Nick Nolte Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/461098-if-they-made-a-gta-movie/#findComment-1060165154 Share on other sites More sharing options...
cidamelo Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 Puto Bendejo I think John Travolta is hot and a great actor, but I think he's too old to play Claude. Michelle Rodriguez would be good to play Catalina, Andrew Dice Clay I think he is too old too, Jason Stathom could be Niko but I prefer Vladimir Mashkov, they are more identical, Danny DeVito is funny but too old, Ray Liotta would be awesome to play Ray Boccino, everyone thinks George Clooney is sexy but I don't think so!! Dolf Lundgren was so hot I think he's too hot to play Dimitri, Lloyd Bridges is too old to play Jimmy (ooh, now that I'm realized.... you may be talking if the actors were young, instead of the actual age.....)

KrisAlicious Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 it would be better to do a tv series for GTA 4. if they did they could do it like the A-team, niko could do a mission for someone every episode.

AceRay Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 If they cut out Playboy and Dwanye storyline, I'll be happy. GTA4 is WAY too long to do one mission an episode, but if they shortened it, it could be... I say they should get Justin Bieber to be Niko.
