Sony has revealed the release date of the Gran Turismo film and the first details on the plot, which will be inspired by a true story.
Sony has set the release date for the Gran Turismo movie . The film based on the popular Polyphony Digital driving game series will debut in theaters on August 11, 2023 . In addition, the first details on the plot have been revealed , which will be based on a true story.
As reported by Deadline, the film will be directed by Neill Blomkamp , director of District 9 and Elysium, and produced by Columbia Pictures. PlayStation Production’s Asad Qizilbash and Carter Swan will produce alongside Doug Belgrad and Dana Bruentti.
The screenplay was written by Jason Hall, with the plot that will be inspired by a true story , which will tell how a kid who is passionate about Gran Turismo will fulfill his dream of becoming a professional driver. Here is the official synopsis:
“Based on a true story, the film is the ultimate wish fulfillment tale of a teenage Gran Turismo player whose gaming skills won a series of Nissan competitions to become an actual professional race car driver.”
The film should therefore be inspired by the experiences of one of the many guys who participated in the GT Academy (precisely organized and sponsored by Nissan between 2008 and 2016), thanks to which the most skilled Gran Turismo players could become pilots of real racing cars.
In any case, there is more than a year to go before the debut in cinemas, so it is reasonable to expect more details on the Gran Turismo film over the next few months.
