Fact Check: Is Paramount Making a GTA 6 Movie?

A fake post claiming that a Grand Theft Auto 6 (GTA 6) movie is in development at Paramount recently misled many fans and websites. The excitement around GTA 6 has been intense, causing rumors and leaks to spread quickly without fact-checking.

The False GTA 6 Movie Rumor

The rumor originated from a parody account named DiscussingFish on X (formerly Twitter). The post claimed:

"GRAND THEFT AUTO film is in development at Paramount. It will be an original story set in the universe with game-accurate locations & production design. In theaters October 22, 2028."

This post appeared convincing because it included enticing details and a real link directing to an unrelated IGN article about GTA 5, which gave an illusion of authenticity.

Why Fans Believed the Post

The mention of an original story and game-accurate locations added plausibility.
The real link attached made the post seem legitimate at a glance.
The intense hype surrounding GTA 6 made fans eager to believe any new information.

Reality Check

Despite the buzz, there is no official Paramount GTA 6 movie in development. The original game remains the only confirmed blockbuster project.

"This not only gave the post extra flair, but also gave it an extra layer of fake credibility."

Author’s summary: A parody post falsely claimed Paramount is making a GTA 6 movie, fooling many due to hype and clever fake details; no such film exists.
