The “Gran Turismo”<\/em> video game franchise is getting a live-action project for the big screen. However, rather than a variety of race cars gathering in the shadow of Trial Mountain for a big showdown, new details reveal a much more meta plot line.<\/p>\n

According to Deadline<\/a><\/em>, it’s as follows: Based on a true story, the film is the ultimate wish fulfillment tale of a teenage “Gran Turismo”<\/em>\u00a0player whose gaming skills won a series of Nissan<\/a> competitions to become an actual professional race car driver.<\/p>\n

It appears that the film will be about playing “Gran Turismo”<\/em> the game instead of concocting a plot from the in-game universe, as Sony’s PlayStation Productions titles like “Uncharted”<\/em> have done. Back in 2013, another attempt at a “Gran Turismo”<\/em> movie had a story based on the rise of Lucas Ord\u00f3\u00f1ez<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Ord\u00f3\u00f1ez was the first winner of the inaugural GT Academy, where “Gran Turismo”<\/em> players competed for a seat on a real race team. After winning GT Academy in 2008, Ord\u00f3\u00f1ez was part of a Nissan race team that finished ninth in class at the 24 Hours of Dubai in 2009. He has gone on to race at the 24 Hours of Le Mans<\/a> five times, finishing as high as second in his class.<\/p>\n

The Deadline<\/em> story also states that Neill Blomkamp has been attached to direct. Blomkamp is best known for his sci-fi features “District 9,” “Elysium”<\/em> and “Chappie<\/em>.” The latter two have featured Nissan GT-Rs. Blomkamp is a known car enthusiast, and a Motor Trend<\/em><\/a> interview from 2015 revealed that he has owned three GT-Rs, a Subaru WRX<\/a>, Lexus LFA<\/a>, Acura NSX<\/a>, Hummer H1<\/a>, Corvette<\/a> ZR1 and BMW M3<\/a>.<\/p>\n

That’s practically a “Gran Turismo”<\/em> garage in itself, which bodes will for the movie adaptation. It is scheduled for release in August 2023.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
