A guy who started in GT Academy came second in the LMP2 class at Le Mans. Several others have competed in real GT series racing - although with mixed results.

The fact though, is that these guys would probably have had the talent and ability to race for real, regardless of their experience with Gran Turismo. A video game can't make you a good driver in the real world, but it can offer those with skill the leverage to get into a real car.

Just like flight sim rigs. Professional pilots, military, etc, use them constantly as well. Same with professional race card drivers.

They do help you pick up on things you may have missed in real time, and tweak mechanics, etc. through meta data on the fly. Added bonus that is cost effective.

So Is not gt the movie....Is an esport player the movie........ Like the final fantasy 14 movie that the game reunite a father and a son
 
Blomkamp hasn't made a good movie in literally over a decade so pardon me if I don't expect him to make even a decent movie out of gran turismo lol

Jim Ryan will be playing PS1 GT game and says no one will play this kinda old games and then the protag will teach Jim how to appreciate old games.
 
Hard to imagine this being a good movie, but on the other hand it doesn't have to be. Huge marketing Budget + popular actors = profit.

I have to give them credit. This is the first time my interest level for a movie adaptation has matched mine for the game itself.
 
The premise seems interesting. Though I feel like this would work a lot better as a documentary. It'd be a whole lot cheaper to produce as well.
 
If it's Neil Blomkamp it is almost certainly going to be canceled at some point.
I love District 9, but this guy was a one-hit wonder like the Donnie Darko director. Chappie was a war crime.

Gran Turismo is the next PlayStation series getting a big-screen adaptation, but fans won't get to see it until August 11, 2023. It might be a while, but that isn't stopping David Harbour from hyping up the movie! In a recent interview with Collider, the star had some interesting things to say about the adaptation, as well as about director Neill Blomkamp. While Harbour did not reveal any new information about the movie, he's clearly excited about it!

"Neill is so cool and such a good director that it's really been a joy to work on this movie, and this movie's going to be... Talk about not what you expect, with him at the helm there's a visceralness to this movie, to this video game world that is so cool. I can't wait for you to see this movie."
 
I know this sounds like a strange concept for a film, but sony has been pushing for a gran turismo movie since like 2008. They clearly have alot of faith in this concept. And Neil is such an interesting choice to direct, especially when you consider that he was very close to making the halo film in the early 2000's before it got canned.

I just can't see how they could make this into a movie, is it going to be The fast and the furious Grand Prix edition or something?
 
So.. essentially it's not a Gran Turismo movie at all?

Could still be OK I guess, but I was expecting something else.

The movie is literally about some one who played the game and got good enough to actually race in real life and win. I'd say it's a Gran Turismo movie, it's not like the game has a story that the movie is ignoring, like most videogame to movie adaptations.

A franchise that never had a story....is getting a movie lol. At least NFS had stories before the movie, which was equally shit but still.

Movie is based on a true story. There was a GT Academy program back in the PS3 days, where gamers would qualify for a chance to compete in real races, driving the Nissan GT-R. This movies is the story of one of those players that became a professional racer.

Yeah, but that's more Gran Turismo related on the side. Would be like making a Zelda movie about a guy who played Zelda and then became a famous wilderness expert or something. It's so loose.

If the guy played GT he has likely played Forza and other sim games as well. I just feel the movie could be named after any driving sim IP at that point.

Not sure what you could do with GT but I'm sure you could make something that's more true to the IP than this.

GT over the past 15+ years has been all about professional tournaments and holding competitions to become actual drivers. It is more than fitting to the series. I am sure there will be legacy stuff about the series in there as well.

Yeah I'm not arguing the fit. I just think it's a boring premise making it a documentary-type movie. That's just my two cents though.

That's why the action/racing scenes have to be bad ass, which an early sneak peak it appears to be. Think Ford vs. Ferrari film.
 
In the very least it should be a reference-quality Dolby Atmos presentation, as Sony's films often are.

Ford v Ferrari had a pretty solid Atmos mix but it could've been even better.
