Here's the trailer for the BBC's upcoming drama about 'Grand Theft Auto'

The first trailer for "The Gamechangers," a BBC drama about the creation of "Grand Theft Auto," featuring Daniel Radcliffe as Sam Houser, the president of Rockstar Games, and Bill Paxton as Jack Thompson, a lawyer who has campaigned against the series, has been made available for the first time. 

The original BBC announcement was vague, but the trailer sheds light on what the 90-minute drama will be about: the people who created the game and the people who hate the game.

Rockstar Games has publicly stated that the company has "had no involvement" with the creation of the programme and is reportedly suing the BBC to "ensure that our trademarks are not misused in the BBC's pursuit of an unofficial depiction of purported events related to Rockstar Games." 

The trailer shows the drama surrounding the "Grand Theft Auto" video game series. Jack Thompson (played by Bill Paxton) takes on Sam Houser (played by Daniel Radcliffe) over content in the games, specifically the depictions of violence. 

The genesis of the drama comes from "Jacked," a book by David Kushner which follows the creation and release of the games.

"The Gamechangers" will air on September 15 on BBC Two at 9pm.
