In the world of racing sims, one of the most renowned and influential titles is Gran Turismo. For years, it has been offering fans a heart-pumping experience on the serpentine tracks of glory, all in the comfort of their homes. But this time, GT has transcended the bounds of home monitors to silver screens! 

PlayStation’s racing sim has been adapted into a feature movie, set to release on August 11, 2023. Following the setting of GT Academy, the movie will follow the story of a young fan who gets to become a real-life racer. According to the promotional material, this is based on a real-life story. 

So far, a trailer has been released on the official YouTube channel of Sony Pictures Entertainment. Hollywood A-listers could be seen in some of the vital roles in the movie as well. The trailer teases a classic Hollywood underdog story with a racing setting, which has given the fans a lot of hope. 

The Gran Turismo movie promises everything fans have been hoping for 

So far, the trailer looks very promising to fans, as it is filled with references from the games, promising a true-to-the-source adaptation of the popular game. The trailer started with a familiar countdown sound from the game. The camera angles used for the races are also very reminiscent of the in-game perspectives. 

The life of Jann Mardenborough, who got to become a racer after competing in pro-GT circuits inspired the story. British actor Archie Madekwe will play the protagonist of the movie. His character is a highly skilled GT player who will get the big shot invitation into the professional racing scene.
