Daniel Radcliffe confirmed for BBC ‘Grand Theft Auto’ drama

The rumors were true. The BBC’s new ‘Grand Theft Auto’ drama will feature two heavyweight stars: Daniel Radcliffe as Rockstar Games co-founder Sam Houser and Bill Paxton as Jack Thompson, a former American attorney that famously campaigned against the video game franchise. When news of the project first broke, we weren’t sure what to expect. The BBC, making a TV show about Grand Theft Auto? It seemed like a PR disaster waiting to happen. But now more details are coming to light. The BBC has revealed the working title “Game Changer” and says the show will focus on the series’ cultural impact, rather than how it was designed and coded. Furthermore, the show has been “conceived for an adult audience,” so it’s unlikely to be aired straight after the six o’clock news.
