Enligt en The Guardian-intervju med Dan Houser på Rockstar har de flera gånger tillfrågats om att göra en film baserad på Grand Theft Auto, men i samtliga fall har man avböjt erbjudandet.

"We've been offered, many times, and it's never appealed."

Och trots att de dessutom blivit erbjudna bra med pengar för rättigheterna, säger Houser: "The money's never been close to be worth risking one's crown jewels. Our small dabblings with Hollywood have always left us running back to games."

Houser berättar även att Rockstar är rädda för att tappa för mycket kontroll: "The freedom we have to do what we want creatively is of enormous value. The second you go near Hollywood, people seem willing, or have been forced, to lose a lot of that control. That sort of amorphous 'that won't test well' attitude is exactly how we don't work. We've always tried to think of stuff that's innovative and new, and to go into a world where that's not encouraged would be horrible."

Dessutom tror Houser att Grand Theft Auto skulle fungera bättre som TV-serien, men inte heller det är han sugen på: "It's much easier to imagine GTA as a TV series, as the form is closer, but I still think we'd be losing too much to ever actually do it. We've got this big open-world experience that's 100 hours long, and that gives players control over what they do, what they see, and how they see it. A world where you can do everything from rob a bank to take a yoga lesson to watch TV, all in your own time. How do you condense that into a two-hour or 12-hour experience where you take away the main things: player agency and freedom?"

Houser avslutar med något flera av Gamereactors läsare säkert kan skriva under på: "We love games and we think we've got something to say in games, and that games have plenty to say. So shouldn't we just continue doing that?"
