Grand Theft Auto: Detroit.
Hi! My name is… anonymous 3D protagonist? In the early 2000s, Grand Theft Auto was transitioning from being a minor 2D hit into a cultural phenomenon.featuring Kirk Ewing, who worked on games including State of Emergency and Earthworm Jim 3D, touches on this period and what was going on: and the startling idea that a GTA movie starring Eminem was once on the table.
"He said, 'Kirk we've got Eminem to star, and it's a Tony Scott film [director of Top Gun and True Romance]. $5 million on the nose. Are you interested?' And I phoned up Sam and I said, 'Listen to this. They want Eminem in the Grand Theft Auto movie and Tony Scott to direct'.This is more plausible than it may seem from a 2022 perspective. Grand Theft Auto 3 was released in late 2001, with Vice City following a year later.
"They realised that the media franchise that they had was bigger than any movie that was going on at the time," said Ewing. As it grew GTA would simply incorporate Hollywood talent, though amusingly enough this came with a few spats along the way.
