Grand Theft Hamlet, a new documentary filmed entirely inside Grand Theft Auto 5, is coming soon to a screen near you. Directed by Sam Crane and Pinny Grylls, the film follows a duo of struggling actors as they attempt to stage a production of Shakespeare’s Hamlet during the middle of the COVID pandemic.
The film consists of nothing but in-game footage from Rockstar’s award-winning 2013 classic, and interestingly enough, it’s winning awards, too. Grand Theft Hamlet won this year’s documentary film competition at SXSW and has been praised by critics throughout its film festival run. The 89-minute genre-bending flick is set to arrive on the Mubi streaming service sometime in 2025. Mubi has also stated that the film will have a theatrical release.
