[Touring Mars]

Gran Turismo movie is set to premier on 11 August 2023

Wow, an exact release date already... they've fallen at the first hurdle.

lol. Kaz lost his mind. PD should concentrate on making video game(s)

The film is being made by Sony Pictures, not Polyphony Digital.

August 11th? My birthday, thanks for the gift GT7.

You'll see the first half of the movie then only those lucky enough will get an invitation to see the other half.

 

[BigJimmy]

Let me predict... The driver needs to get to the front... So he drops a gear and pushes the excelerator 4 inches more than before.

True.
Still, this project might pull away some resources from PD, or at least some of Kaz's focus on the actual game aspects of his Gran Turismo vision. Obviously not in the sense, that devs working on GT7 would be tied into the movie production in any way. Excuse my way of putting it in my first post.

*Actually coming 2025.

Just goes to show how on it's knees the movie industry is creatively.

I’m sure some PD staff will be involved. Although how many, and for how long, is open to question beyond the initial concept and pre-production period.

The more likely impact of this big budget Hollywood movie is a higher profile for Gran Turismo. A higher profile means more potential customers. Something I’m sure Sony will want to capitalise on.

Kaz most definately I would reckon

Why are they wasting precious development time in a movie??? The game needs content, new cars, new tracks and a lot of fixing. Yet they are wasting resources in a movie.... FFS.

I look forward to the end credit reels, showing clean race bonus maneouvers, directed by Uwe Boll.

$100 popcorn

maybe with a six star lottery ticket, if you're lucky for the 12th time.

 

[Brego]

They'll be a 7 minute intro movie before the movie starts, an ending movie 55% of the way through the film with the rest playing after the credits.

the remaining film is unavailable unless you create an account, and purchase it in 12, 18, or 30 minute increments.

 

[Force-Feedback]

So i wonder if its essentially going to be similar to Capeta?

 

[johnnyman123]

Now it makes sense why GT7 is so heavy on Microtransactions......to pay for the movie development!

 

[Nathaniel_Wu]

I think it's got potential, because it can just be a sports movie.

 

[AllMightyVTEC]

So Ordoñez biopic?

More like a Mardenborough biopic.

If by ‘they’ you mean PD, they’re not the ones working on this movie. Sony Pictures is. It’s like the Uncharted movie, which Naughty Dog had nothing to do with beyond traditional advising and advertising roles.

The movie audience will finally be introduced to the masterpiece that is Moon Over The Castle.
I don't get all the anger from these comments,kinda irrational,i do agree that it's a odd franchise to make a movie about and Blomkamp doesn't exactly have a great track record.
I just hope the racing scenes will be well shot,the Need For Speed movie was bad but it had some well directed racing scenes

Watch as the music abrupt changes with every camera cut.

 

[DeolTheBeast]

Season 1 starts with everyone in an Gr3 RCZ & Gr4 Atenza before switching to Gr3 WRX & Gr4 WRX ... am I doing this right?

 

[Techlet]

The movie will freeze on a scene every 5 minutes to simulate the protagonist's struggles of completing a daily race.

Ha! They will use vroom vroom and that horrendous genz music.

 

[Minmin]

Well gee... it might work. They made a Sonic movie and Mario Brothers movie so there's definitely a place for it.

 

[Remy Zero]

Lol....are they that desperate for money? They can't even make a decent game of GT 7, and no they wanna switch their focus on this nonsense?

Get your crap together PD.

 

[ICEYOU3]

When's the forza movie coming out?

PD has nothing to do with this production, so it hasn't switched its focus to anything. Sony Pictures is producing the film.

And yes, Sony Pictures is totally desperate for money. It's a movie studio, it's what it does. Since Uncharted made it $400m (well, $300m net)...

 

[HGHTCH]

When's the forza movie coming out?

2023
2024
2025
2026

 

[MasterGT]

Why?

 

[Famine]
