Gran Turismo Movie's First Trailer Tells the Whole Tale in Two Minutes | Push Square
Gran Turismo – the movie, not the game! – looks pretty good! The film, due out in theatres this August, is based on the real-life story of Jann Mardenborough, a gamer who progressed through the GT Academy to eventually race for Nissan. You can basically extract the entire plot from this two minute trailer, but seeing as it all actually happened, we already know how this tale ends anyway. (Spoilers: he finishes third at Le Mans!)
Neill Blomkamp is on director duties, and there’s undoubtedly some stunning cinematography on the racing scenes. We’re not entirely convinced by some of David Harbour’s script – the whole “scrawny gamer” stuff seems a little cliché – but it might make more sense in the context of the full-length film. This is being billed as an inspirational, feel-good affair – it has potential, we suppose.
We can’t see this one setting Box Offices alight to be honest, the concept just seems a little too niche to draw in huge audiences. We’re also not overly enamoured with the movie’s slogan, “From Gamer to Racer”. Is that really the best they could come up with? Geez! Nevertheless, this might be worth a watch when it releases later in the year.
A true PlayStation veteran, Sammy's covered the world of PS gaming for years, with an enormous Trophy count to prove it. He also likes tennis games way more than you.
Definitely worth a watch.
This doesn’t need to be and shouldn’t be a movie
Ngl looks pretty good, heartfelt in a way.
Aside from some dodgy bits in the script, I thought it was a good trailer personally!
Looks pretty good
Correction: David Harbour is an actor who acts in this movie, he is NOT the script writer. Was taken aback there for a second.
No need to watch the movie now
