Gran Turismo Movie's Slick Second Trailer Hammers Home the True Story Angle | Push Square
The Gran Turismo movie is very nearly ready to hit the big screen. Sony Pictures has just released the second trailer for this upcoming flick, which tells the true story of aspiring driver Jann Mardenborough (Archie Madekwe), whose expertise in the PlayStation racing sim earns him a spot on a real race track.
It's this true story angle that's employed for this trailer, at least to begin with. Mardenborough is seen taking his dad's car for a joyride, and it's clear his father doesn't approve of his goal of becoming a racer. However, his time spent in Gran Turismo leads to enrolment in the GT Academy, where top players have a chance to join a real racing team and go pro in real life events.
It's this story that provides the backbone of the film, and it's supported with some top talent; co-stars David Harbour and Orlando Bloom join Madekwe, and it's being directed by Neill Blomkamp, who's aiming for Top Gun: Maverick levels of intense vehicular action.
The film opens in theatres from 11th August, so it's only a few weeks away now. Are you excited to see Gran Turismo? Tell us in the comments section below.
Having grown up alongside PlayStation, Stephen has developed an eclectic taste in video games and a wide knowledge of the medium, from small indie gems to the biggest AAA blockbusters. Ever hopeful that the Burnout series makes a miraculous return.
If this movie is successful, expect gt7 numbers go skyrocket. Going to be a ton of people thinking that if they get good at the game they going to live out their fantasy and become a professional racer lol. In seriousness surprised they haven't announced a PC release of gt7 to line up with the film.
Calling it. Gran Turismo The Movie based on the game coming to PSVR2.
