Two of the most shocking pieces of information in the gaming world last week were that Nintendo would produce a live-action movie about The Legend of Zelda brand, as well as Rockstar’s promise about GTA’s launch roadmap. 6 will be revealed this coming December. It didn’t seem like there was much of a connection, but recently, the online community suddenly started rumors that GTA 6 would be a stepping stone for Rockstar and Take-Two to launch a movie of their own. .
Basically, this is completely possible when besides the role-playing modes that attract many players, GTA is also famous for its story building, context and especially, possessing a series of characters. has become a symbol through the games. This material is more than enough to launch a movie and GTA fans also have reason to look forward to it. However, Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick quickly denied this and admitted they are not interested in any movie projects in the near future.
The reason was also given immediately afterwards. Basically, Take-Two could spend its own money to make a movie, or a series of movies about GTA and the possibility of its success is huge. However, this NPH does not seem too interested in entering this new field because it takes too much time and effort. Franchising the brand so that a third party can implement a movie project is not worth mentioning because even if the movie creates a big hit, the revenue that Take-Two receives is not worth much, especially when put on the scale compared to the amount of money they have earned from the GTA brand, especially during the past ten years of “milking” GTA 5. All in all, from Take-Two’s perspective, producing a movie or series about GTA will not be profitable.
Therefore, although they are very eager, it is unlikely that GTA fans will be able to witness a cinematic work about this brand in the future. However, things can change over time, especially when adapting games into movies is bringing a lot of success recently, typically in the case of Cyberpunk 2077 or The Last of Us. recently.
