Kane99 Posted January 5, 2023 Share Posted January 5, 2023 I had no idea Sony was making a Gran Turismo game based on the popular franchise of video games with the same name. The movie is going to star David Harbour (of Stranger Things fame) and Orlando Bloom, who was in the Pirates of the Caribbean movies and a few others. I'm willing to check this out, but I'm not sure if we're going to get a good movie out of this. But, we'll see.

Shagger Posted January 5, 2023 Share Posted January 5, 2023 I know that this is a movie based on a game and even made in partnership with the company that publishes that game, but it's still a movie, so this isn't gaming news. That is why I'm moving this to the movies and TV sub forum. And to be honest, I don't really understand why this needs to exist. This isn't the same thing as making a movie out of Need for Speed because Grand Turismo has always been a plotless driving sim'. This will be a film about fictional racing drivers in a fictional racing series that meant to emulate and mirror the real thing, and I just don't se that working. It's got a great cast, but racing movies just work better if they based on something real like Senna or lean all into a fantasy, not a bizarre mix of both like this seams to be. killamch89 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killamch89 Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 As @Shagger has said, it's a weird one - the game is a driving sim anyways so why make a real-life racing movie about a game that's trying to emulate real racing. The final product will likely be something like a Top Gear movie without Jeremy Clarkson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aerodynamik Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 Oh my god, this looks and sounds promising. Cannot wait for it to be released in the cinema. I'll definitely go watch it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shortie Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 Yeah I'm not sure about this movie. I enjoy the games but this does not look like a movie that I would be able to sit and watch. I feel like a lot of movies like this that are from games either work or they do not and in some cases they try it in hopes it will bring some money in but it is never as good as many will think it may be. This will probably be a movie I will skip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd watch that too. 😛 Seriously though, to each and their own I suppose. The movie looks great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
