Sony Pictures is filming an actual live-action film inspired by the racing video game, Gran Turismo, and here comes the first trailer. It is nearly three minutes long and follows a protagonist who starts off as a common video game nerd, but gradually turns into a racing pro.
The producer would have us believe the story is based on real events. Specifically, it retells the life story of Jann Mardenborough, a gamer who walked the path from racing cars on his PlayStation 3 console to driving an actual P1 racer after receiving support from the Nissan GT Academy.
What little footage there is at this point is stuffed full of Sony logos and also prominently features the Nissan GT-R, implying that the carmaker must have been generous with rendering financial assistance to the producer.
The big screen premiere is slated for August 11, 2023.
