YouTuber Gu1maz recreated the second Grand Theft Auto 6 trailer in GTA 5 using a combination of techniques beyond just matching camera angles. They changed the characters around (obviously), and hilarity promptly ensued.
So, how’d Gu1maz pull this off? They grabbed GTA 5’s familiar faces—Michael stepping in as Jason, Trevor rocking it as Lucia, and Jimmy De Santa playing Cal Hampton—and turned Los Santos into a budget version of GTA 6’s Vice City and Leonida.

It’s pure genius: they hunted down GTA 5’s streets, props, and rides—think boats and cars—that vibe with the GTA 6 trailer’s aesthetic, making Los Santos’ urban sprawl feel like Vice City’s neon-lit heart.
The secret sauce? Probably GTA 5’s Rockstar Editor, a filmmaker’s dream for nailing camera angles and staging scenes with pixel-perfect control. Gu1maz went full-on director mode, rebuilding the GTA 6 trailer shot by shot, tweaking character poses, animations, and props to match every frame.
Then, in post-production, they cranked up the polish—smoothing transitions, dropping in AI-generated dialogue that’s hilariously on-point, and syncing it all to an AI cover of the trailer’s soundtrack. It’s basically a big, heartfelt nod to the GTA faithful.
The real magic, though, is the laugh-out-loud humor. Gu1maz embraced GTA 5’s wonky animation glitches, throwing in absolute gold like Trevor’s ridiculous twerking or his total flop trying to sprawl on Michael.
These goofy, deliberate sidesteps from the original trailer give it a charming, fan-made sparkle, turning the game’s tech limits into a hilarious, almost fan-fic take on the GTA 6 buzz.
