He says he was phoned at 04:00 by an LA producer with an offer.
Kirk recalls: " He Said 'Kirk we've got Eminem to star, and it's a Tony Scott Film - $5m on The Nose . Are you interested?'
" And I phoned up Sam and I said 'Listen to this. They want Eminem in The Grand Theft Auto movie and Tony Scott to direct'.
" And He Said : 'Not interested'. "
And that is The Last time, As Far as Kirk is aware, that either brother discussed GTA coming to the silver screen.
" They realised that the media franchise that they had was bigger than any movie that was going on at The Time , " Kirk says.
