Grand Theft Hamlet is the first, and maybe only, GTA movie as it documents a performance of Shakespeare's epic within GTA Online.
Who said there’d never be a GTA movie? A performance of Hamlet in GTA 5 , with input from fans from around the world, is the subject of a new documentary in theatres now. Remember that project you started during lockdown? The novel that didn’t manage to get past chapter one. Or the screenplay that’s still sitting unfinished on the laptop. Whilst the rest of us were baking banana bread and doom-scrolling Twitter, Pinny Grylls and Sam Crane were doing something very special.
There are plenty of recordings of video games online, but Pinny felt these films are only fun to watch for 10 or 15 minutes at a time. ‘We wanted this to be a cinematic documentary,’ she said. The challenge, therefore, was to balance ‘having something that was cinematic, but also a true representation of what it’s like to play that game,’ she said. One creative decision, to mirror the experience of playing GTA, was keeping the map of the gameplay in the corner of the screen.
