GTA 5 'Spectre Trailer Video: James Bond Trailer With GTA Launched by YouTube User
A YouTube user has created a "Grand Theft Auto V" video using the recently released trailer for the latest James Bond installment, "Spectre."
Fans of 007 and the GTA games series were treated to a video created by Joris Prudhon, a YouTube user who put the "Grand Theft Auto V" treatment on the upcoming James Bond offering, "Spectre."
Prudhon launched himself into fame last year when he recreated the "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" trailer and gave it a "Grand Theft Auto V" spin. That version has since gathered over 700,000 views on YouTube.

The ring showing Spectre's logo featured on the original trailer also makes an appearance in the video, and while the analogs weren't rendered as perfectly, the meeting with Christoph Waltz's character is included, even if Prudhon didn't quite make the setting details clear.
The video remains relatively faithful to the "Spectre" trailer, however. The 3D version of Daniel Craig, who plays James Bond, is a fairly accurate rendering, along with a fizzy-haired version of Naomie Harris. Even the iconic and climactic James Bond soundtrack is thrown in at the end for good measure.
Recreating parodies of trailers was made possible by a number of complex tools present in "GTA IV," giving creative players a venue to produce their own intricate videos. The Spectre-GTA V version is not the first in this genre, parody versions of E3 and the "Need for Speed" trailers have already been created and have their own following on YouTube.
Console players without "Rockstar" movie maker tools at their disposal may make do with multiplayer positional tracking and painstaking manual camera edits. One such example is the aqueduct chase sequence in the recreated "Terminator 2."
Fans of these types of remakes should soon expect a rendering of "The Avengers: Age of Ultron" trailer, and even the complex "Terminator: Genisys" recreation in GTA V, courtesy of the gaming community.
