Gran Turismo Movie First Footage Revealed
Sony has revealed the first footage for the upcoming Gran Turismo movie. The Gran Turismo movie was announced last year and caught many off guard given the amazing variety of franchises that PlayStation has to offer. With so many more games that make immediate sense for a movie, Gran Turismo was a strange pick, but it is also one of the most interesting. The film is based on a true story of a Gran Turismo player turned real race car driver and will feature an all-star cast with the likes of Orlando Bloom, David Harbour, and more. The film is also directed by District 9 director Neill Blomkamp, so a bunch of talented folks are backing the project.
“Based on a true story, the film is the ultimate wish fulfillment tale of a teenage Gran Turismo player whose gaming skills won a series of Nissan competitions to become an actual professional race car driver.”
At CES 2023, Sony revealed the first footage of Gran Turismo with a behind-the-scenes featurette that showcases some of the drama off of the track while highlighting the adrenaline-pumping racingthat will be seen in the film. The Gran Turismo movie looks to be quite a showstopper with fancy drone shots, special camera work that will highlight the POVs seen in the games, and more. If there was any concern that this movie would be bland or look boring, this footage will probably put those concerns to rest. The Gran Turismo movie looks like it will really emphasize the fast-paced action of the games and really put viewers in the seat of a car that’s speeding across a race track.
The film due out in theaters August 11 from Sony Pictures.
