For those unversed, here\u2019s the tea:<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Last night, a post claiming a GTA film was reportedly in the works with major studio Paramount quickly went viral. So much so that, at the time of writing, the post has nearly 1.2 million views. But just so you know, this is not happening, at least not in this universe for some time.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Actually, DiscussingFish is a parody film account that has repeatedly posted such fake news stories. For example, it claimed, \u201cFirst Look at &#8216;THE BATMAN: THE DCU CUT&#8217;\u201d and whatnot, and then linked the post to some random article from reputed news outlets to project authenticity. And that\u2019s how the fake story of the GTA film story came into being.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"relative\"><button aria-label=\"View larger image\" class=\"group absolute bottom-3 right-3 size-10 md:size-[50px] lg:inset-0 lg:size-full lg:bg-transparent\" data-ylk=\"elm:expand;itc:1;sec:image-lightbox;slk:lightbox-open;\"><span class=\"absolute bottom-0 right-0 rounded-full bg-white p-3 opacity-100 shadow-elevation-3 transition-opacity duration-300 group-hover:block group-hover:opacity-100 md:p-[17px] lg:bottom-6 lg:right-6 lg:bg-white\/90 lg:p-5 lg:opacity-0 lg:shadow-none\"><svg viewbox=\"0 0 22 22\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"size-4 lg:size-6\" width=\"22\" height=\"22\"><path d=\"M12.372.92c0-.506.41-.916.915-.916L21 0l-.004 7.712a.917.917 0 0 1-1.832 0V3.183l-6.827 6.828-1.349-1.348 6.828-6.828h-4.529a.915.915 0 0 1-.915-.915M1.835 17.816l6.828-6.828 1.349 1.349-6.829 6.827h4.529a.915.915 0 0 1 0 1.831L0 21l.004-7.713a.916.916 0 0 1 1.831 0z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/button><dialog aria-label=\"Modal Dialog\" aria-modal=\"true\" class=\"fixed inset-0 z-4 size-full max-h-none max-w-none bg-white hidden\"\/><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Interestingly, the hoopla for a GTA film continued the next day as well, with DiscussingFish taking a jab at the delayed GTA 6. The post read: \u201cGTA 6 has been pushed back up to August 20th, 2026. Rockstar Games says, &#8220;All of our Developers literally will not see their families once until next Christmas.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">As for any near possibility of a GTA 6 film, we had a crystal clear answer last year. Rockstar Games\u2019 co-founder made it clear that a GTA movie \u201cnever made sense.\u201d He said, \u201cWe had what we considered to be multi-billion dollar IP, and the economics never made sense. The risk never made sense. In those days, the perception was that games made poor-quality movies,\u201d he explained (via\u00a0<a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ign.com\/articles\/rockstar-games-co-founder-says-grand-theft-auto-movie-never-made-sense\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:IGN;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">IGN<\/a>).\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><strong><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/entertainment\/movies\/articles\/keanu-reeves-absolutely-wants-return-201723680.html\" data-ylk=\"slk:Related: Keanu Reeves \u2018Absolutely\u2019 Wants to Return for Cyberpunk 2;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;outcm:mb_qualified_link;_E:mb_qualified_link;ct:story;\" class=\"link  yahoo-link\">Related: Keanu Reeves \u2018Absolutely\u2019 Wants to Return for Cyberpunk 2<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.yahoo.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you too excitedly jumped after the announcement of a Grand Theft Auto film in development, then you, my innocent fans \u2013 in Joey\u2019s lingo (a FRIENDS reference) \u2013 have been \u201cbamboozled.\u201d Because this is not happening.
