Radcliffe (25) is being considered for the role of Sam Houser the British co-founder and president of Rockstar Plays the industry behind Grand Theft Auto and other plays such as Max Payne and Red Dead.
Daniel Radcliffe is in negotiations to star as the lead in a movie based on the fight between the creator of popular video game series Grand Theft Auto and a Miami lawyer who wanted to ban video game violence.
Owen Harris who directed of 'Misfits' and 'Black Mirror' is helming the play said The Hollywood Reporter.
The movie is being made by BBC Movies. Houser is credited in popularizing GTA into one of the video game world's biggest franchises but also amping up the violence quotient.
In the first decade of the 21st century Houser and Rockstar Plays came under repeated attacks from activist attorney Jack Thompson.
The part of Thompson has not been cast yet. James Wood wrote the script for the project which was previously titled star Plays. The title could change again. Jim Spencer is producing.
The movie slated to begin shooting April 20 is based on a book by David Kushner titled Jacked: The Fugitive Story of Grand Theft Auto.
