The filming of the Gran Turismo movie started a few years ago, being one more movie coming from video games, but one of the few coming from racing or competition games. Actually, the only one I remember is Need for Speed.
The Gran Turismo movie tells the story of a simracer who hopes to become a real racer, assuming all the difficulties, especially financial.
"Gran Turismo makes the leap to the big screen with a film based on the life of Lucas Ordoñez, a young Spaniard who went from being a Gran Turismo gamer to a professional driver thanks to Nissan's GT Academy program. The film, directed by Neill Blomkamp and produced by Sony Pictures and PlayStation Productions, will be released on August 11, 2023, and promises to be a tribute to the world of simracing and the dream of many gamers to become real racers."
The Gran Turismo movie will be available in theaters in August 2023.
