Take-Two, the company behind Rockstar Entertainment, has registered the trademark for Rockstar Films. What does this mean? Throw in a little bit of Grand Theft Auto, some good acting, and voilà – masterpiece theater!
There is little information on quite what the trademark is for:
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.
The trademark was registered back in December of 2010, and only now discovered by SystemLink Alt. They spotted both RockstarFilms.com and RockstarFilms.net being owned by Take-Two.
In 2008 Rockstar denied reports it almost gave the go-ahead to a Grand Theft Auto film in 2009, saying the company was "not interested" in bringing the series to the big screen.
According to Variety, a deal to develop a GTA movie was "virtually in place with one of the six major studios". "Eminem was quite possibly going to star," apparently. The deal supposedly fell through at the last minute after Take-Two failed to agree terms with the studio.
