Take-Two Suing BBC over "GTA" Movie

Take-Two Interactive is Suing the BBC, to Halt Production of the Movie they're Planning to Chronicle Conflicts over the "Grand Theft Auto" Series. Though, this was Likely to be More Unkind to Jack Thompson than "GTA" Developer, RockStar Games, apparently they Aren't Interested in Seeing Whatever Dirty Laundry this Might Have Aired.




The BBC has Declined Comment but, here's Take-Two's Statement:


"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."
