The wife of the Red Bull Racing team principal Christian Horner got the nod for a role in the movie. She will work alongside Oscar-nominee Djimon Hounsou among other hugely talented group of actors.
As reported, the project is the ultimate wish-fulfillment tale of a teenage Gran Turismo player. The teenager’s gaming skills wins him a series of competitions to become an actual professional race car driver. Hounsou and Halliwell-Horner will play the teenager’s parents.
