The rumors were true. The BBC's new 'Grand Theft Auto' drama will feature two heavyweight stars: Daniel Radcliffe as Rockstar Games co-founder Sam Houser and Bill Paxton, of Nightcrawler and Edge of Tomorrow fame, as Jack Thompson, a former American attorney that famously campaigned against the video game franchise. When news of the project first broke, we weren't sure what to expect. The BBC, making a TV show about Grand Theft Auto? It seemed like a PR disaster just waiting to happen. But Guy Cocker, who's been working on the programme, quickly clarified that it would be a one-off drama exploring the game's creators. Today, the BBC has provided a few extra details -- for one, it has the working title "Game Changer" and will focus on the series' cultural impact, rather than how it was designed and coded. Furthermore, the show has been "conceived for an adult audience," so it's unlikely to be aired straight after the six o'clock news.
