"Grand Theft Hamlet," a documentary/digital narrative created during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic and staged within "Grand Theft Auto Online," is coming to select movie theaters in the U.S. on Jan. 17 after a limited release in the U.K. Here's CrimeRead's explanation of what to expect. Back in March, when the film premiered at SXSW, @IndieWire spoke to co-directors Sam Crane and Pinny Grylls. “I was looking for a way to do some kind of live performance that wasn’t on Zoom, because I had seen a lot of that and it was just so soul-destroying,” Crane said. “And then when I discovered this world of ‘Grand Theft Auto’ I just had this sort of instinct. It just seemed so live and dramatic and theatrical and weirdly, really appropriate for doing Shakespeare.”
