Sony has confirmed its Gran Turismo movie. It'll premiere on August 11, 2023, under the direction of District 9 helmer Neill Blomkamp. The film will be based on the real-life adventures of a player of the racing game. Sony describes the film as a true story based on the "ultimate wish fulfilment tale of a teenage Gran Turismo player whose gaming skills won a series of Nissan competitions to become an actual professional race car driver." The racing game series has been around since 1997, and there isn't any plot or characters to follow, so this approach makes sense. Whether you'd want to see this game adapted to the big screen is a different conversation altogether.
