It appears that the BBC 'Grand Theft Auto' based special that was in production may never get to see the light of day due to a lawsuit filed by Rockstar.

The project titled, 'Game Changer' was slated to be a 90-minute feature series that starred Daniel Radcliffe as the titular game designer, Sam Houser, and Bill Paxton to play the disapproving lawyer, Jack Thompson.

The project was meant to represent the internal struggle of the Rockstar company to become the powerful game designing company that it is today, based off the popularity of the 'Grand Theft Auto' series.

Rockstar Games' parent company, Take-Two Interactive sued the BBC to prevent the company from being misrepresented as they didn't have overlooked or had a hand in the project.

Rockstar released this statement to IGN:

"Take-Two Interactive has filed suit against the BBC for trademark infringement based on their movie currently titled 'Game Changer' as it relates to Rockstar Games' Grand Theft Auto video game series."

"While holders of the trademarks referenced in the film title and its promotion, Rockstar Games has had no involvement with this project. Our goal is to ensure that our trademarks are not misused in the BBC's pursuit of an unofficial depiction of purported events related to Rockstar Games. We have attempted multiple times to resolve this matter with the BBC without any meaningful resolution. It is our obligation to protect our intellectual property and unfortunately in this case litigation was necessary."

It may be the company's way of damage controlling their image, however the premise of the series didn't sound as if it would discredit them.

'Game Changer' has started production on April 20, but it is currently up in the air if the public will see the project.
