Rockstar Games responding to rumors that an announcement was set to be made about a movie version of the game:
“Rockstar was not involved in this project in any shape or form nor is it something that we’re currently interested in. There was no GTA movie in the works as far as Rockstar is concerned. Some movie producers were trying to put something together to entice us to make a movie, as studios and production teams frequently have done in the past. This proposal was no more interesting than the numerous others we receive. We never entertained proceeding with the project.”

Venom, one of the coolest villains in the Spider-Man universe, (played by Topher Grace in Spiderman 3) will get his own movie.
But Venom fans rejoice, Marvel is moving forward with a new stand alone film, yep you heard right, Venom is coming back to the big screen.
We’ve confirmed that “the studio” has met recently with several “A list writers” about a spin-off film.
Venom, or the Venom Symbiote, is the name given to the first symbiote life form to appear in the fictional Marvel Universe. The creature is a sentient alien with a liquid-like form. It requires a host, usually human, to bond around for its survival. In return the Venom creature gives its host enhanced powers. In effect, when the Venom Symbiote bonds with a human to form a super-villain, that new dual-life form itself is also often called Venom. The symbiote, with or without a host, is an arch-enemy of Spider-Man, who was the first host it merged with before its evil motives were clear. After Spider-Man rejected it, the symbiote went on to merge with other hosts and so began its popular reign as the villain known as Venom.
Jerry Ferro’s (Adam Carolla) 40th birthday has brought his life into sharp relief and it’s not a pretty picture. A once-promising amateur boxer — who quit so he wouldn’t risk his perfect record of underachievement — Jerry has been knocking around from one construction job to another and spinning his wheels in an unsatisfying relationship, all the while with an eye toward eventually getting his shit together. His last connection to the fight game is the evening boxing class he teaches to middle-aged, middle class, middle management types at a gym in Pasadena, where he also works as a handyman. When venerable boxing coach Eddie Bell (Tom Quinn) asks Jerry if he’d like to spar a couple of rounds with Malice Blake (Harold House Moore), an up-and-coming pro, Jerry reluctantly steps into the ring. Despite the ass-kicking Jerry otherwise receives, a one-punch knockdown of Blake convinces Jerry that it¹s time to make his return to competitive boxing. Thus ends a 20-year layoff and begins a hilarious fish-out-water quest for Olympic gold.
The film stars Adam Carolla (JAY AND SILENT BOB STRIKE BACK, TV’s FAMILY GUY), Oswaldo Castillo (THE ADAM CAROLLA PROJECT), Jonathan Hernandez (THE BUCKET LIST, TV’s PRISON BREAK), Harold House Moore (TV’s CSI MIAMI), and Heather Juergensen (THE SUZY PROPHECY). THE HAMMER was written by Carolla and directed by Charles Herman-Wurmfeld (LEGALLY BLONDE 2: RED, WHITE & BLUE, TV’s SO NOTORIOUS).
