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.

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.
Experience this true story in Virtual Reality.
I think fans will probably like it, but this has got mid-30s RT written all over it.
This has a lot of potential and I’m definitely going to give it a chance. I’d say I’m cautiously optimistic.
Bought my ticket for it this morning. Never thought I'd see the day where I'd be interested to see a Gran Turismo movie in the theater, but here we are!
Looks awesome
So can we expect Gran Turismo The Game, based on Gran Turismo the movie, based on Gran Turismo The Game, soon?
I imagine it won’t be more than an average movie but I’m looking forward to it all the same. It’s been a while since we had a good motorsport movie.
I liked the use of the fixed 3rd person camera on that police chase!
I feel like much of this is really just people trying to find fault in the movie. I'm going to enjoy it for what it is - a brainless petrolhead movie. If I wanted complexity, I'm watching Fight Club or Memento again.
@Gamer_Guy Starring Jean Claude Van Damme as Guile?
@BeerIsAwesome yep it'll be worth a torrent.
