Unprecedented levels of anticipation are building for GTA 6 after Rockstar Games announced that they will launch the trailer in the month of December. The trailer launch is set to mark the 25th anniversary of Rockstar.
Over 90 minutes of rough-hewn gameplay footage from a big leak of GTA 6’s development build in September 2022 set off a frenzy and served as the basis for a lot of the current rumors. One of the many insightful details in that impressive leak was a look at the alleged protagonists of the game. If that stays true the franchise has included a playable female character outside of GTA Online.
The reveal trailer for GTA 6 will give us a look at the recreated Vice City and greater Florida area, as well as briefly showcase Lucia and Jason in action.

The two main characters, Jason and Lucia, were compared to Bonnie and Clyde in the 2022 GTA 6 leak. A video of the two putting up a diner in the style of Pulp Fiction alongside a few others has been offered as proof of their strong friendship. Many consider them to be lovers or even spouses.
According to the leak, Jason enjoys riding ATV bikes, fishing, and smoking cigarettes compulsively. Although Lucia does not wish to be a part of the greater gang that he and she are purportedly a member of, she nevertheless performs her duties as required.
The inspiration behind GTA 6’s Jason and Lucia
The 2013 film “The Place Beyond the Pines” is “allegedly” the inspiration for Jason and Lucia in GTA 6. In the film, Ryan Gosling and Eva Mendes play the lead roles; their son is called Jason. Ryan G. and Eva Mendes were rumored as the GTA 6 Leads by the July 2015 GTA 6 Leak. There were also rumors suggesting Ryan Gosling and Evan Mendes were the voice actors.
The Place Beyond the Pines is an American epic crime drama film starring Ryan Gosling and Evan Mendes among others. In the movie, Ryan Gosling plays the character of a motorcycle stuntman with a traveling carnival. He also later discovers that he has a son named Jason. Luke then starts doing robberies to support his son.
Therefore, it somewhat seems to the fans that GTA 6’s Jason and Lucia’s characters can be loosely inspired by the movie. GTA 6 leaks suggest that Jason and Lucia might have a romantic angle in the game. There are even rumors that Lucia is the mother of a kid. The kid makes an appearance later in the game’s plot. This falls in line with the plot of the movie.

The leaks also hint that Jason likes to ride bikes just like Ryan Gosling in the movie. Ryan Gosling was also involved in a bank robbery in the movie. It is no surprise that Jason will also be involved in a lot of heists in GTA 6.
It’s not like this is the first time Rockstar Games has created a protagonist that is inspired by a cinematic character. Niko Bellic from Grand Theft Auto 4 may have been modeled after the Serbian sniper played by Vladimir Mashkov in the 2001 film Behind Enemy Lines. Some also suggest that Rappers from the 1990s serve as the inspiration for San Andreas’ Grove Street Boys.
