The U.K.'s BBC is creating a television movie based on Sam and Dan Houser, the brothers who created Grand Theft Auto.
The Houser brothers are famous for being reclusive, frequently shunning the spotlight and refusing media interview requests.
Presumably, this could make the film the first in-depth look at the Housers' lives, including how they grew up and got into the video game business.
The film, presumably to be broadcast on one of BBC's multiple networks, is being put together with the help of British games journalist Guy Cocker, though it's not known in what capacity he's working on the film.
More detail on the GTA show I worked on: it's a 90-minute feature-length drama focussing on the people behind its creation.#BBCMakeItDigital

According to BBC News, the telefilm is part of a larger initiative to interest U.K. workers and youngsters in the technology industry called "Make It Digital." Other areas of focus for BBC's initiative include a documentary about Bletchley Park (the famous coding school depicted in Alan Turing biopic The Imitation Game), giving one million Raspberry Pi-like stripped-down computers called Micro Bits to students, and airing a full season of television programming meant to educate viewers on writing code.
The BBC has launched a website devoted to Make It Digital that's filled with interactive features like a downloadable Doctor Who app/game and hands-on materials based on popular franchises like The Voice and Back to the Future.
