Actor Daniel Radcliffe has recently been announced to portray 'Grand Theft Auto' creator, Sam Houser, in an upcoming BBC drama film.

The film will be centered on the real life events of Houser and his internal struggle with the Miami lawyer Jack Thompson, in his attempts to get his video game banned.

Director Owen Harris has been announced to helm the movie.

"In the first decade of the 21st century, Houser and Rockstar Games came under repeated attacks from activist attorney Jack Thompson. Thompson was an unorthodox Florida attorney who was already attacking media companies for pushing rap and sex onto the airwaves when he turned his attention to what he saw as an obsession of glorifying violence in the video game industry. GTA was one of his favorite targets. He was disbarred in 2008 for inappropriate behavior," writes THR.

Rockstar has since become a driving force in the video game industry with successful titles beyond 'Grand Theft Auto,' such as 'Red Dead Redemption and 'Max Payne.'

However, Thompson has not yet been cast, so there are no reports about who will be taking on the role.

The movie will be based on the book, 'Jacked: The Outlaw Story of Grand Theft Auto,' and is believed to start production later this month.
