GTA and Avatar. A match made in heaven?

This is really a dreamers thread but having seen avatar i got to thinking how the technology could be used to make a great GTA movie.
OMG performance capture of our hero walking behing him and actually feeling like your doing a drug deal with him. AVatar graphics are amazing just using that and fusing it with Tony Cipriani driving a stallion round the streets of LC wouldbe off the hook...
What do u guys think?

or else you could film it normally and instead of spending 99% of the film budget on visuals dedicate some money to a good script and other necessary components to make a good movie.

Thing is theyll never make a GTA movie. GTA (imo) is based on all the good gangster movies that exist, thats what makes it fun. A GTA movie would just be another gangster movie. The flare that makes the game so could isnt possible in a film. Games never transfer well into movies and vice versa. Thats my 2 cents anyways.

Why bother wasting money on visual effects if you're not going to do something that isn't already possible using real life settings?

Avatar > set on a distant planet, full of gigantic flora and fauna, and massive blue people.
GTA > set in New York...

I think it'd be amazing. When you buy a hotdog, the mustard would look really.... yellow

It would have to be done something like that, I get the feeling it just wouldn't work in a live action setting, it's just to far fetched.
