Sony Pictures has released a sneak peek teaser for the Gran Turismo movie.
A sneak peek teaser for Gran Turismo has been released. Inspired by the true story of an inspiring racecar driver who goes pro after winning a series of Nissan competitions, the film’s cast includes Stranger Things star David Harbour alongside Orlando Bloom, Archie Madekwe, Darren Barnet, Geri Halliwell Horner, and Djimon Hounsou. It comes to theaters this summer, and you can get your sneak peek now by watching the below video, courtesy of Sony Pictures.
Madekwe plays Jann Mardenborough, the teen at the center of the Gran Turismo movie’s story. The actor also speaks about his excitement that he has for fans to see the movie on the big screen, with the film blending drama, romance, and action in one thrilling racing story.
“We are so excited to tell you about our new movie Gran Turismo,” he says. “With heartpounding action and drama… we’re excited to share Gran Turismo with you exclusively in theaters.”
“This movie is made for the cinema,” Bloom also says in the video above.
“And it’s badass racecar action you’re gonna feel like you’re in the middle of,” Harbour adds.
Neill Blomkamp directs the film with a screenplay by Jason Hall and Zach Baylin. Hall also executive produces with Kazunori Yamauchi, Herman Hulst, and Matthew Hirsch, while producers include Doug Belgrad, Asad Qizilbash, Carter Swan, and Dana Brunetti.
Gran Turismo Is the Latest Video Game Adaptation
Given the popularity of the video games, there have been efforts for years to get an adaptation of Gran Turismo off the ground. It finally came to be with Blomkamp, and Harbour has teased that the result they have in store is something that fans will really appreciate.
“Neill is so cool and such a good director that it’s really been a joy to work on this movie, and this movie’s going to be… Talk about not what you expect, with him at the helm there’s a visceralness to this movie, to this video game world that is so cool. I can’t wait for you to see this movie,” the actor told Collider.
It may have been the success of video game adaptations of recent years that finally got this movie to be made. The Sonic the Hedgehog films are good examples of video game adaptations that killed at the box office. With Gran Turismo, you’re throwing in Blomkamp at the helm along with some racing action that will have viewers feel like they’re right there on the track. There’s a good chance this film could be a big hit at the box office as well.
Gran Turismo will speed its way into movie theaters on Aug. 11, 2023.
