@Jordan,
Is the movie widespread or platform release?

 

[ravaline]

My only hope is that they bring gt academy back with this movie.

@Jordan,

It's my understanding this will be a widespread theatrical release.

 

[Skills]

It's my understanding this will be a widespread theatrical release.

Thank you. That will be so much better! Maybe it will be on IMAX in CO.

 

[ZedNinetySix]

Its difficult to make a bad flick with such talented actors. I'm sure it will be good due to the talent, but production would really have to go out of their way to balls it up at this point.

First trailer

Looks corny, but I'm excited at the same time. Still wish they would have made the movie "in-universe" instead of taking the lazy academy route.

 

[MatskiMonk]

... aaaand I'm out. I do love GT, but I couldn't really care any less about the gamer to racer aspect. I'd rather watch a non-dramatised documentary about Jann's career, with GT academy only being a small part of the story, and then sit and watch 2 hours of best motoring clips to get my GT fix.

First trailer

looks so bad I couldn’t make it past 30 seconds.

Can’t wait for them to try and tie this in with the yearly GT World Series final event that is scheduled 3 months after the film releases with the surprise that the winner gets to drive a real race car on a real track for 1 lap to make it all come to life! one might think it might even be a planed tie in🙄

…please don’t be so corney PD/Sony, just give all that money that would be spent to the winner

 

[05XR8]

Might be a bit too late to be doing a Speed Racer + Fast & Furious = Freejack shudders Who knows? I took a gamble and spent my money to see the first FF movie. Gran Turismo could be entertaining.

Anyway, glad to have actually read about and see(on tv) the real Jann.

 

[NotThePrez]

I do not understand why Sony refuses to use the actual Gran Turismo logo on a movie that their Film division is bankrolling, even though it's clearly going to be all over the goddamned place in the movie. I know it's minor, but it irks the absolute bejesus out of me.

Otherwise, it's pretty mid imo. Doesn't look like the worst trailer I've ever seen for a movie, but I'm definitely not expecting greatness.

Gran Turismo Movie: First Official Trailer​

The first official trailer for the Gran Turismo movie has been revealed, giving fans a first glimpse at what to expect from the film based on the real-life story of racing driver Jann Mardenborough...

 

[261004]

Every single "gameplay" detail I can gather:

The original announcement trailer, for some reason....

PSX 2021 Trailer.

User interface circa the November 2022 update.

They didn't even bother to use ACTUAL GAMEPLAY FOOTAGE, instead they reused the 2021 PSX trailer footage.

Note "Cabernet" and how he's not even turning the wheel.

The most convincing UI ever made.

Savegame belongs to someone Hungarian under the PSN name "TECHNIKRS4".

"Gameplay", with a watermark AND a camera angle that is REPLAY exclusive.

992 GT3 Cup 3D model, which at the moment appears in....

checks igcd.net

ACC AND IRACING?!?

What a way to bend the rules of Gran Turismo.

 

[GTJG44]

Ehhh... yeah i'll watch this when it comes to streaming.

 

[Famine]

TECHNIKRS4

Yeah, that's Jann.

You can ask him yourself (although he hasn't logged in here in a while) Isn't that right, @TECHNIKRS4?

 

[261004]

Yeah, that's Jann.

Then what's with the Hungarian flag? Is it because the Welsh flag is unavailable in-game?

 

[Famine]

Then what's with the Hungarian flag?

Given all the other incongruous namings in the images, I'm guessing they just changed the display name (but not the PSNID) for an existing account for some quick shots, and the account happened to be Hungarian because they spent four weeks in Hungary filming.

 

[Seikenfreak]

Honestly, more of an actual movie and better than I was expecting. I'm sure there is a younger audience that is going to really like this and it'll probably have some impact on them. I'll watch it eventually.

 

[Joey D]

So @Jordan does GTPlanet have a cameo in this or what?

 

[kirethk]

Found a few interesting things in the trailer!

Some more details
---

Running exercises on the Nurburgring(?)

Huracan GT3 included as the "villain" car, but didn't enter service until 2016 season. Well after Jann's time in GTA and also the final year GTA operated, not the start.

Also in the conflict shot you can see it missing the diffuser so likely not a GT3-spec used for filming if this wasn't entirely CGI.

Corvette C8.R included in the RBR shots (2020 debut)

The prototype crash+flip scene likely inspired by the 2012 crash between Toyota #8 and Ferrari #81 where Anthony Davidson suffered fractured vertabrae.

The prototypes included in filming are Ligier. The LMP3 is featured in some shots...

and the prototype featured in rolling shots is the non-homologated JS PX track-toy.

And finally, very minor nitpick but they start on wets with a dry track

I think the setting is modern day as if GT Academy was happening now

Hey Dave! 👋

Was it a GT3 spec for filming, or just done up to look similar?

Unfortunately I am unable to share any details about the movie until the higher-ups give me permission. But I can say I have been involved since GT Planet published the announcement of Neill Blomkamp directing it. When I saw that post I cold-emailed him and he brought me onboard to help.

I was on set from day one but I haven't seen the edits.

Exciting stuff!! You'll have to add "stunt driver" to the CV now.

Haha I can say I wasn't a stunt driver. I was advising on the sim and real racing bits.
