Post Daniel Radcliffe in 12 new 'The Gamechangers' promos, new GQ Germany outtakes

Daniel Radcliffe, along with costars Joe Dempsie and James Alexander, were featured in 12 new promos for the upcoming BBC Two biopic The Gamechangers, which focuses on the legal battle over the very popular Grand Theft Auto games.

The Harry Potter actor plays Sam Houser, one of the creators of the game in the film, set to broadcast in the UK on September 15, 2015.

























Quote:
In Autumn 2013, the game’s latest iteration – GTA: V – earned $1bn in just three days, becoming the fastest-selling entertainment product in history. But this drama goes back to 2002, to tell the story of a three-year period of intense controversy in the history of this iconic game's development. It happened when two passionate men on either side of a high-stakes cultural divide clashed. This conflict, between the creative genius behind the game and a self-styled crusader for American morality, escalated into a fight for the hearts, minds and freedoms of an entire gaming generation.

The fastest-selling entertainment product in history comes not from Silicon Valley, but is driven by a bunch of British game designers. Friends since their school days, they are led by the game's mastermind-designer, Sam Houser. By 2002, Sam and his creative team have constructed for their fans a vast virtual world, teeming with a high-octane mix of criminal characters, lethal weapons and outrageous storylines. Here you can even shape and sculpt your avatar, crafting their character and appearance to your personal preference.

Within this fantasy landscape, some players choose to take part in a series of dangerous missions, while others become immersed in a sprawling criminal underworld, killing cops, hijacking cars and running over pedestrians. And it's this that increasingly drives opposition to GTA. Because the game's violent gameplay leads to fierce opposition: from parents worried about its impact on children; from politicians, fearful of its influence; and, above all, from campaigners fighting to prevent the game being played by minors.

At the vanguard of this crusade is the formidable Christian lawyer Jack Thompson, a man determined to do whatever he can to stop the relentless rise of the game and its influence on children. The Gamechangers tells the story of how British game designers pushed boundaries into uncharted territory, of how those fighting GTA became consumed by a battle which overwhelmed their lives, and how the subsequent fallout threatened to bring down leading players on both sides.

This drama is for an adult audience and has not been authorised by the producers of Grand Theft Auto. Rather, it is based on court documents and interviews with many of those involved in the real events behind this compelling story.
Additionally, two new outtakes from Dan's cover photo shoot for GQ Germany magazine were released online and can be seen here.

I had no idea until now that the creators of GTA were/are British I played Vice City and San Andreas SO MUCH growing up (though my running over pedestrians was more by accident since I wasn't very good at controlling the cars )!

Any word on when/if this is going to air in the US?

I am the same way I used to watch my brothers and his friends play GTA all the time. I even played it just for fun and used to hijack cars and drive them and crash them

I am even laughing at Dan's kind of gangster wear. I wouldn't even recognize him in the hat, sunglasses and chain , I hope this airs in the US soon! I am interested to see this!
