I'm cautiously optimistic. I still can't quite believe it's actually happening.
My main concern is that this trailer does not feel authentically "Gran Turismo". This feels like something different. Perhaps that should be expected because it's not made by Polyphony Digital and Kazunori Yamauchi does not have full creative control over the project. Maybe that's OK, but it will make it more difficult for fans of the franchise to connect with it.
To keep from being disappointed, I think we should see this as a movie which involves Gran Turismo but is not about Gran Turismo.

At the end, that's what seems like the best approach.
I really wish people would stop and actually think about this. Just because there is alot of Sony in this does not mean the people behind the game are the people behind the movie. PD develops the games, Sony pictures (A division of Sony made specifically for Movies, what a concept) are the ones behind the movie. I mean the game literally boots up with "Sony Interactive Entertaiment". Is critical thinking so difficult for people to grasp on their own?

I was saying the quality of the Gran Turismo games themselves have no impact on the film. The film is made by Blomkamp and his team. None of the dev staff from Polyphony's studio in Tokyo came down to the film set and started making it "worse" or whatever by messing around with the script or cinematography.
Kaz himself has been pretty absent from the marketing or BTS looks at the film, despite being the literal creator of the franchise. He didn't even make it on as a producer, which to me is actually very surprising.
Yeah it doesn't make much sense people believing that, does it.

My 2c: It's just a weird premise for a big budget movie. Like a mini-doc sponsored by Sony I guess so yeah, but even as someone thats followed GT since infancy the whole GT Academy narrative is just so meh. 'yeah guy won our sponsored competition and did alright in his sponsored IRL drives'.
I sort of expect a lot of indifference from audience outside the community, as especially in the age of people making ludicrous money producing digital content, this story is very unspectacular.

Trailers are not the movie, but...
I don't want to see a marketing movie around GT7 (looks like it). This movie is, sadly, an occidental point of view. It's frustrating to not have a japanese movie, through japanese culture, cars...
I hope the movie will be successful. Because as a GT fan, I don't want a bad movie from my little baby
It looks like GT is more and more a global marketing place, and less and less a place for car passion. But it's maybe the way to survive at this days.
PS: If I want good GT movies vibes, I watch old documentaries into P.Digital studios...

I’d rather a story about the struggles Kaz had when he launched the original Gran Turismo Title, not interested in this movie about GT Sports online racing series….

A biopic about Kaz and polyphony's beginnings would be quite interesting. Honestly I would not be surprised if something like that eventually comes out.

Its again interesting how people don't feel this is at all a Gran Turismo movie yet the suggestions made again don't bring it any closer to a Gran Turismo movie. A movie that's just about Japanese culture through cars is just yet another Documentary about Japanese culture through cars, not "Gran Turismo". And as mentioned above, a story about the struggle Kazunori had trying to get the original Gran Turismo Title going already exists so we're just retreading at this rate.
If anything, this seems to actually be slowly bringing me around to the idea that using the basis of a GT Academy driver's career starting from that competition (Even if everything, minus those familiar pods that have been seared into my brain, has been updated to more present) has effectively been the closest we'll get to an actual story that can kinda be called Gran Turismo since unlike literally every other alternative idea, it involves the use of the game.
Again, how? Because they've been in every Gran Turismo Title? Again, you're not really answering question outside of "Its a Japanese series so it must remain Japanese" (which again, falls apart when looking at the two most recent Sonic and Super Mario Movies).
You know what else was a Japanese yet was also made by a Western studio?
Judging by the reception and overall box office success, people didn't seem to have a massive problem with it (Same goes for the Aforementioned Sonic and Super Mario Films).

Sony Japan sent me this to my email today. Says worldwide release in September.
To add, this is the group chosen for the theme song

So, I guess, true to the franchise, different theme songs per region?

Gran Turismo Movie’s Japanese Title Track “Climax” Recorded by T-Square

Am I imagining things, or am I hearing a lot of Moon Over The Castle's chord progression in this?? The more I listen, the more I hear the older rendition of MOTC...
Oh. Is this where it came from??
Edit: Read the paragraph above it that gave context. My God, how did I never make the connection?

Scanned through the last couple pages in this thread, jesus wept there's a lot of negativity on this forum 🤣
Seriously tho, I never understand how people can get so invested in crapping on things that aren't really made for them.
My 13 year old son will love this film and I know what I'm getting into when I take him to see it. That's who it's made for.
