But that was one of the quirks of making âGrand Theft Hamlet,â a documentary about a pair of British actors, Sam Crane and Mark Oosterveen, who, while idled by the pandemic, decided to stage âHamletâ within the violent virtual world of âGrand Theft Auto.â When Shakespeare wrote of the âslings and arrows of outrageous fortune,â he may not have imagined the threat of a python loose in a bar or Hamlet wrestling with whether âto beâ on a helipad. Yet âGrand Theft Autoâ might be an oddly appropriate venue for a play where nearly everyone dies.
âThe first time Sam did a bit of Shakespeare in that space, he said, âI imagine this is what it was like in Shakespeareâs time at the Globe when people would throw apples at you if you were rubbish,ââ says Pinny Grylls, who wrote and directed the film with Crane, her husband. âNo oneâs really watching you but theyâre occasionally looking around and listening to the poetry.â
âGrand Theft Hamlet,â which Mubi will release in theaters in January, opens with Crane and Oosterveenâs avatars, fleeing police and careening into an outdoor amphitheater. One says loud, âI wonder if you could stage something here?â
They arenât the only ones who have drifted into virtual spaces and wondered if it might be a rich landscape for a movie. In the âThe Remarkable Life of Ibelin,â which debuted on Netflix, director Benjamin Ree plunges into âWorld of Warcraftâ to tell both the life and virtual life story of Mats Steen, a Norwegian gamer who died from Duchenne muscular dystrophy at age 25.
âKnitâs Island,â streaming on Metrograph at Home, takes place almost entirely within the survivalist role playing game DayZ. The filmmakers went in with âPRESSâ badges across the chests of their avatars and seeking interviews with high-killcount players. âDonât shoot!â one yells during one approach. âIâm a documentarist!â
