During the mid-1990s, I spent my summers in L.A. I was still in high school and answering phones at a film agency on Wilshire. And in the mid-1990s, super producer Don Simpson ruled Hollywood. Everyone in the movie business had a Don Simpson story. Along with Jerry Bruckheimer, Simpson was the force behind high-concept hits like Top Gun and Bad Boys, was notorious for his excesses — the hookers, the drug use, and the outbursts. Brash and outspoken, he was a Hollywood rockstar. And, according to an unauthorised account about the makers of Grand Theft Auto, he was Sam Houser’s hero.
Rockstar Games is hosting this year’s Harlem Skyscraper Cycling Classic on June 20. Of course that means that there will be an eclectic sampling of pop stars tooling around Marcus Garvey Park come Father’s Day.
I loved Red Dead Revolver, but the game had its flaws. Also had its quirks. The game’s sequel, turns out, will be keeping the quirks, while trying to shoot the flaws in the face.
Time’s latest issue is its “Time 100″ in which they name the most influential people in the world, for this year anyway. Rockstar rockstars Dan and Sam Houser are in the “artists and entertainers” category.
The Houser brothers (and other top Rockstar personnel) are, no doubt, already rich. Filthy rich. But today it was announced they’ve all become a lot richer.
Take-Two moves to secure key talent within their Rockstar Games label, entering into new long-term employment agreements with key team members, including founding brothers Sam and Dan Houser.
