Ned Luke kept the GTA V script, all 3,500 pages
Young Maylay joins The Final Mission as Luke's eight-upload week brings cast reunions and production memories.
Why this story? The channel's weekly summary: what went up this week, what is drawing views now, and where the channel stands among similar channels.
I compiled my script over the 3 years we filmed and kept it! #gtav #gtavi #gaming #michaeldesanta
Out of a custom black box comes a very substantial keepsake: the binder Ned Luke assembled across three years of filming Grand Theft Auto V. Asked why he saved it, the actor behind Michael De Santa has a straightforward answer: "Oh, I knew it was going to be a big deal."
The roughly 3,500-page collection supplies the week's most watched new upload. Luke also holds up a cover marked "PARADISE" and explains that his audition used a different codename, "Rush." Viewers are thinking museum exhibit, asking for a script reading and wondering what changed before the game reached players. One screenwriter in the comments recognizes the impulse to keep every version.
The Final Mission supplied two substantial cast visits. "The Final Mission Episode 16: Saving America (feat. Rob Bogue and Julian Gamble)" reunited Luke with the performers behind FIB characters Steve Haines and Dave Norton. Then "The Final Mission Episode 17: Here we go again. (feat. Young Maylay)" brought in CJ himself from GTA San Andreas. That newer conversation has the strongest daily momentum on the channel, while an older motion-capture anecdote involving Steven Ogg remains especially active.
Luke added 4,000 subscribers over the week, a pace broadly in keeping with his month, while daily views are well above their usual level. Among nearby streaming channels, Caedrel had a particularly busy viewing week; QTCinderella and TheRunningManZ had quieter daily traffic than usual. Luke's own week mixed the guest conversations with smaller production details, including how the camera style changes between GTA V's three central characters.

This belongs in a museum
@retaberaSee it on YouTubeThat’s legendary Ned to keep that. When I type screenplays I keep every single version of my script.
@JuttyetSee it on YouTubeThis is actually so cool, I know rockstar would probably not allow it but I’d love to hear a read through of it, and see some of the stuff that got cut/changed
