The Film: Sergio Leone’s Once Upon a Time in America depicts the lives of a group of Jewish boys who, much like Niko in GTA IV, climb the ladder of organised crime in NYC.

This was Jennifer Connelly’s (who played young Deborah) first film role. She’s since gone on to star in Requiem for a Dream, A Beautiful Mind and Blood Diamond with Leonardo Di Caprio.

The Film: Surely everyone knows the story of Spidey.

Real-life location: New York Public Library, Fifth Avenue.


A number of other stars including Mena Suvari, Eliza Dushku and Elisha Cuthbert auditioned for the role of Mary Jane, which eventually went to Kirsten Dunst.

Executive producer, GR Video

Hi I'm James or JJ if you like, I'll answer to both. I'm the Executive producer for GR video which means I've had at least a part in all the hot moving pictures you'll find on the site (even if that part was just saying, yes that's a good video). I also produce the Future Games Show and Golden Joystick Awards. Away from the office you'll either find me playing Fortnite, or walking my dog. I'm better at one than the other, I'll let you decide which.
