Speaking to Game Culture, writer and director of "Gamer," Mark Neveldine, mentioned his involvement with a Grand Theft Auto movie, saying he was set to write a script and put in a marathon session to get familiar with the series. But thanks to a rights collision with Ron Howard's 1977 movie "Grand Theft Auto," and plot disagreement brought the project to a halt.
"There is a rights issue," he said. "You can't make it about the game. It got to be a headache and we said we would rather not get involved in it. I think someone ended up writing some version of it to re-make the movie, but that isn't our interest, ours was bringing a videogame to life."
So there is a god.
