That is very awesome. Yep he was awesome last time.

I'm excited to see it too but most likely not till his Frankenstein promotion in October.

Maybe he'll get dressed up while doing it since Halloween will be close.

Rumour has it that Daniel Radcliffe is currently in negotiations to star in Grand Theft Auto, a true-life account of a fight between the creator of the hugely successful video game franchise and a Miami lawyer who wanted to ban video game violence.

The rising British director Owen Harris, who has helmed episodes of Black Mirror and Misfits, will be directing the drama, which is being funded by BBC Films. Radcliffe will reportedly play Sam Houser, the British co-founder and president of Rockstar Games, the company behind GTA. He is credited in popularizing GTA into one of the video game world’s biggest franchises but also amping up the violence quotient.

When the video game was first released, Houser and Rockstar Games came under repeated attacks from activist attorney Jack Thompson. Thompson was an unorthodox Florida attorney who was already attacking media companies for pushing rap and sex onto the airwaves when he turned his attention to what he saw as an obsession of glorifying violence in the video game industry. GTA was one of his favorite targets, and in 2008 he was disbarred for inappropriate behavior.

The part of Thompson has not yet been cast. Radcliffe will next appear on our screens in Victor Frankenstein, Fox Studio’s contemporary take on the monster classic which hits theaters on October 2.

Interesting. Sounds like it'll be his Social Network. And he's playing someone I won't be rooting for.

**heaven85** · 04-08-2015, 11:34 PM

That is interesting. I would like to see Dan in this.

**baileycat** · 04-09-2015, 06:10 AM

It does sound like the social network in a way. Not sure though if he's really a bad guy. Especially if his company was attacked for freedom of expression. Might be more grey than that.

**LilMouse** · 04-09-2015, 09:04 AM

Well, those GTA games disgust me and are sexist. I'll leave it at that.

**baileycat** · 04-10-2015, 09:03 AM

Ok. I'm sure the film will cover more than that, though.

Dan's hosting gig of Have I got News For You airs tonight at 9 on BBC1. Tune in!

**LilMouse** · 04-10-2015, 01:22 PM

Should we expect the show to air a week later in the states than it does in the UK? (like Graham Norton)

**baileycat** · 04-11-2015, 06:32 AM

Here's video of the show.

Thanks for the link. Anyone else confused by the jokes in the beginning due to not being British?

**baileycat** · 04-12-2015, 06:17 AM

Sort of but all politicians especially during debates sound the same and have the same problems so its easy to get.

**LilMouse** · 04-12-2015, 06:34 PM

It is interesting to hear what's going on there and the problems they discuss
