The BBC is developing a TV drama about the making of Rockstar's hit action franchise Grand Theft Auto. The London-based broadcaster announced the news on Thursday, though details about the show are thin right now.
BBC Two will carry the drama, according to a release sent out today, which states only that the show will be a "drama based on Grand Theft Auto." UK-based games writer Guy Cocker, a former GameSpot editor, is working on the show.
He writes on Twitter that the 90-minute program will be a "making of" feature that focuses on the people responsible for creating the franchise.
The BBC GTA show is being produced as part of a wider initiative called "Make it Digital," which is described as a "major UK-wide initiative to inspire a new generation to get creative with coding, programming, and digital technology."
According to Cocker, Rockstar is not involved with the production of the show.
The latest entry in the GTA s eries is Grand Theft Auto V, which originally launched in September 2013 and has sold more than 45 million copies. The game's long-awaited online Heists mode was released earlier this week. Though it faced some server issues at launch, the exciting four-player co-op mode is now back up and running.
Put the internet to work for you.
