If there’s one developer that has regularly presented gamers with beautifully cinematic gaming experiences this console generation, it’s Rockstar. If a recent trademark is any indication, they may be looking to take their talents (and iconic IP) to the big screen.

“Rockstar Films” was registered as a trademark on December 21st, 2010 by Take-Two Interactive. As of June 14th of this year, it was confirmed as “Publication/Issue date complete.” The summary of the trademark is as follows:

Animated motion picture films featuring entertainment, namely, action, adventure, dramatic, comedic, children's and documentary themes; pre-recorded video discs and other pre-recorded digital and electronic media in the field of live action programs, motion pictures, or animation featuring entertainment, namely, action, adventure, dramatic, comedic, children's and documentary themes.

SystemLink Alt also reports that Take-Two owns the URLs RockstarFilms.com and RockstarFilms.net. No word yet on what the developer might be planning, but we’d love to see what they could do in the film medium.

Grand Theft Auto: The Movie?
by Gunfire Wednesday, July 06, 2011 at 05:13 PM

Rockstar seem to turn everything they touch into gold, so a film from them sounds good.
by Chris Moss Wednesday, July 06, 2011 at 05:20 PM

Grand Theft Auto movie please? I would ask for Red Dead, but I feel like it took too much from other westerns to begin with...
by Reaper0800 Wednesday, July 06, 2011 at 05:23 PM

Red Dead Redemption and L.A. Noire could work as amazing movies, but the plots would have to be different from the actual games. I would love to see a new Max Payne movie that actually brings justice to the material.

A vice city movie would rule. It can't be any worse than miami vice reboot was

A Grand Theft Auto movie would be insane.
by ReignOfBlood Wednesday, July 06, 2011 at 05:27 PM

Give us a Red Dead movie!!! That would be amazing, although, those of us who have beat the game would already know the end, which would kind of suck.

good thing it's all animation.

this is a great idea and more video game developers should follow rockstars example.... i envision a world where video game devolpers and film devolpers are the same thing
by drownthefish23 Wednesday, July 06, 2011 at 05:36 PM

i don't feel as if this is such a great idea because for me, the magic of GTA 4 and red dead redemption was that I could do anything i wanted, If i wanted to shoot that pimp and/or mexican i could feel free to do so but in film interactivity is essentially taken out of the equation.

I see a Red Dead movie being REALLY good so make it please if Rockstar is in charge I actually expect an awesome video game movie
by Chucktanium Wednesday, July 06, 2011 at 05:54 PM

Any GTA movie would have to have several intermissions that would consist of a fat drunken eastern european man demanding the audience that they take him to a strip club
by Richie Troy Wednesday, July 06, 2011 at 05:56 PM

GTA London movie. Directed by Guy Richie. Starring Jason Statham (voice and likeness).
by Zrdtard Wednesday, July 06, 2011 at 06:15 PM

It's gonna be a top down GTA movie.

Excite!

Sweet.
by Sabtos Wednesday, July 06, 2011 at 06:36 PM

Um, their games are better off as games. People need to stop getting so horny about the game industry dabbling in the film industry. Please.
by Big Lou Wednesday, July 06, 2011 at 06:54 PM

Manhunt: The Movie. They just killed Cash. Now they're going to kill him again.. ON THE BIG SCREEN. MAYBE.
by ConsiderableControversy Wednesday, July 06, 2011 at 07:16 PM

That is awesome!
by Thomas Quinn Wednesday, July 06, 2011 at 08:04 PM

Children's and documentary themes? That seems odd to say the least, coming from Rockstar. I like that they've registered it as animated films however, rather than live action. I've often had a hard time imagining a group of actors who can convey the look as well as the feel of video game characters.

What's this mean :) Tell me by leaving a comment on my profile :)
