A call has gone out for teens to help Briggs Digital Media, an internet TV company, cash in on the success of the GTA franchise.

A casting call for a short film call Game Over states, "Teens looking to appear in the upcoming short film must be very experienced players of “Grand Theft Auto.”"

The movie will be directed by Bobby Garabedian, whose short film, Most, was nominated for an Oscar.

Details on the film are scarce, but the characters interested teenagers can audition for goes as follows:

"DAKOTA: Built like a Frigidaire, with a soft baby face. Think Seth Rogen at 15 years old.

"FRANK; A reclusive kid who keeps to himself. A computer genius who knows video gaming like the back of his hand.

"GEORGE; Good looking and sensitive.

"SAM; Asian, very lean. Quick-witted and unpredictable."

It certainly doesn't have the ring of an officially-licensed project, does it? None of those guys sound like they could be hardened criminals that get into scrapes involving helicopters or rocket launchers, either.

SPOnG's guess: a sensitive and poignant drama about the lives, loves and troubles of four teens as they try to find their way in a world, centred around their love of GTA IV. Then Frank gets f**ked out of his brains, tries to nick a whole bunch of cars then shoots the rest of them while having sex with a hamster. Because he likes games too much. Give us your predictions in the Forum.

You mean, a film that rips off a series of games that have plundered so many other films for material because the writers were too lame to carve out their own characters and situations?

Oh alright, homage. wha'evah.

Watch out or the angry mob will march up the hill from the village and burn your for that kind of talk. GTA is a workl of genius and pure total originalness from start to finish.

You are obviously a hater who doesn't know about games at all. Id like to be in this film it looks like it might be fun.

Isn't this how the entire popentertainment business works in the first place? Making games based on movies based on comics based on sci-fi novels based on scribbles of 19th century scientists who had to much pot to smoke?

For regular SPOnG readers: I am, dear Twoozle, being ironic and descending to stereotype in the same way you do when you come on here.

For Twoozle: I'm taking the piss luv.
