Rockstar Didn’t Want Eminem to Star In a Grand Theft Auto Movie – IGN The Fix: Entertainment

In today’s Entertainment Quick Fix, 

Rockstar Games apparently slammed the breaks on the idea of turning Grand Theft Auto into a movie starring Eminem. Games industry veteran Kirk Ewing, a friend of Rockstar co-founders Sam and Dan Houser, told Bugzy Malone’s Grandest Game podcast, per Eurogamer, that an LA producer once approached him with a $5 million offer to buy the rights to a Grand Theft Auto movie starring Eminem, with Top Gun helmer Tony Scott in the director’s chair.

Captain America star Chris Evans was recently crowned the Sexiest Man Alive… but his fellow Avengers weren’t impressed. During an interview with Variety, actor Chris Hemsworth revealed that his Avengers group chat “roasted” Evans over his appearance on the cover of People Magazine.

Walter Hamada, the former DC Films president, has landed an exclusive producing deal with Paramount. This comes just weeks after departing his role overseeing DC films for four years.
