Gran Turismo Movie Had to Look and Feel Real, According to Director

I still don't get how there's a movie about Gran Turismo. It's a game that's never had a story. It's a racing game. I... Don't see the point to this.

@MattBoothDev because it's not a movie about the lack of story in the game, it's... a true story about a guy who won a Gran Turismo competition to race in real life.

When's this coming to steaming and what one gets it?

Was anyone actually asking for this? That's not a meaningless question. 2023 is officially one of the worst years for the box office ever. Establishing your market is more important than it was even last year.

@LifeGirl It's more fodder for the streaming services. Maybe it will not suck.
I hope it makes alot of money so Sony can spend more money to make more 1st party games.

This looks terrible, based on a true story or not lol

@LifeGirl 2023 is one of the best years for big movies in years or what do you mean by box office? if they flop? what does that concern you or what has that to do with quality?
anyway
Indy 5, M:I, Wick 4, Oppenheimer, The Creator, Napoleon and Dune
Not sure about a recent year with more big hitters

@Grimwood I am old enough to remember when that list would have a bunch of Marvel movies in it. We should remember that only a couple of years ago, the highest grossing movie of the year was the Demon Slayer movie with takings of what would be considered a flop in a normal year.

That is a huge helmet.

Genuinely can’t believe such a bad idea was given the go ahead. Sony’s movie division sure makes some goooooofy choices.

@Grimwood Indy 5. The Little Mermaid. Antman. Black Adam. The Flash. Shazam. Renfield. Transformers. All box office disasters. The combined losses are over a billion and counting.
This is not opinion. Look it up.

"...has drawn some comparisons to Top Gun: Maverick, directed by Joseph Kosinski, which is the kind of company you want to keep."

That's an interesting comparison, considering that apparently, back in 2013, there was an different version of the GT movie with Kosinski attached to direct.

@CptFancyPants that makes so much more sense 😂 thank you!

Alright credit to the author all those references to driving at the bottom of the article got a genuine chuckle out of me like none of them have before you did a good one.
