In a whimsical mashup of nostalgia, technology, and pop culture, a GTA fan recreated the first 30 seconds of the eagerly awaited GTA 6 trailer, but in a twist: all made out of LEGO. Through the use of AI-powered animation, the work retains the original trailer's camera angles, camera movements, and tone and then rebuilds every character and object in vibrant plastic bricks. The outcome? A new, creative interpretation of Rockstar's gritty saga.
LEGO and AI come together in a creative tribute to GTA 6’s cinematic opening sequence
Rather than recopying the entire trailer, the fan project focuses on its opening scene, perhaps most emblematic of all. From the point Lucia appears in her prison cell to the sweeping shots of Vice City 's swamps, city streets, and sun-kissed skies, all is recreated lovingly using LEGO textures and mini-figures. But it's not traditional stop-motion; the animation is created with AI tools, which gives it a fluid, cinematic sheen without losing the offbeat magic of LEGO design.
The fan behind the project is explicit about making it clear that it's not sanctioned by Rockstar Games or the LEGO Group. Instead, it's a creative experiment to see what can be done with AI when it crosses paths with fandom, particularly with redoing something as highly anticipated and culturally relevant as Grand Theft Auto VI.
AI animation transforms blocks to brilliance
AI is usually greeted with distrust among creative circles, but here it is used as a bridge between imagination and realization. The artist, not officially named, employed AI-enhanced animation to re-craft elaborate shots from the original trailer, such as panning aerials and cinematic character close-ups, all now filled with LEGO representations of Vice City.
The film has taken off on social media, where fans are lauding the attention to detail, fidelity to the original footage, and the sheer novelty of watching the criminal underworld depicted in bright plastic. It's a love letter to GTA, LEGO, and the increasing role of AI in fan art.
This LEGO reinterpretation of the GTA 6 trailer is short at just 30 seconds, but creatively it's a force to be reckoned with. Combining AI, nostalgia, and a popular gaming franchise, it presents an innovative way for fans to experience Rockstar's next major release, one playful brick at a time.
