Radcliffe To Star In “Grand Theft Auto”
Daniel Radcliffe is in talks to play the creator of “Grand Theft Auto” in a drama about the video game impresario’s real-life legal battle against a crusading anti-violence lawyer, according to the Hollywood Reporter. Radcliffe would play Sam Houser, the British-born co-founder of software developer Rockstar Games. The film, currently titled simply Grand Theft Auto, centers on a series of spats between Houser and born again Christian activist and lawyer Jack Thompson in the early years of the 21st century. It’s a good role for Radcliffe, who is a much better actor than the people jealous of his wealth sometimes give him credit for.
