There is mounting speculation that one of the most popular video games ever, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, may be getting a live-action remake from Rockstar Games and a major Hollywood studio. Despite the lack of official confirmation, industry sources speculate that Will Smith may be in negotiations to play the legendary Carl “CJ” Johnson.

The idea of Smith stepping into CJ’s shoes has sparked major discussion among fans. Best known for his roles in Bad Boys, Men in Black, and I Am Legend, Smith’s potential casting would bring star power and action credibility to the project. While some question if he fits the role, others believe his charisma and experience with intense action sequences could make for an exciting take on the character.

While details are scarce, if the film follows the game’s storyline, it could explore CJ’s return to Los Santos after his mother’s murder, his struggle with corrupt law enforcement, and his battle to reclaim Grove Street. However, Hollywood adaptations often take creative liberties, meaning we could see a fresh spin on the classic story.
