Русия: Grand Theft Auto става реалност в тези руски уеб серии

A live-action parody of the hugely popular Grand Theft Auto games was being filmed in Kursk on Wednesday. Vladimir Maikov, the series cameraman and director, said that he tried to keep his videos humorous by replicating the "movements of the characters and the little things happen in the game." The web series, which has already gained almost two million views on YouTube, has five full episodes following its release in 2013. However, Maikov is planning to release a brand new episode "every week in the future." The videos are developed by Maikov's advertising studio 'Puzzle,' and are filmed in Kursk, thus they've been named 'GTA: Kursk City.' The original Grand Theft Auto series is one of the most successful game franchises of all time, selling 220 million units. Despite its success the series has often courted controversy, for providing gamers the opportunity to commit random acts of violence.
