Sounds like amazing visuals, a mediocre story, and amazing performances. They might have pulled it off.
What am I talking about? How is a racing message board more concerned about the writing than the cars and the visuals? Good on everyone here to keep their standards high and expectations low.

My expectations aren't low.
I learned decades ago not to underestimate anything Polyphony-related.
Sony has class. Kaz has class. The movie will be classy.

Pretty sure this isn't even remotely a very new thing.

Beyond the now industry standard pre-release hype reviews, I haven't actually seen many people talking about this movie. Every Twitter thread or site talking about box office predictions has people commenting the same thing; 'wait, they're making a Gran Turismo movie?'.
I'm still convinced they signed Blomkamp to direct purely on the basis of there being a GT-R in Elysium and figured that was enough overlap to show he could make a movie like this.

You're obviously easily-convinced mate.
There'd surely have to have been a whole lot more to it than that, although who knows, it may have prompted the initial interest.

How many movie reviewers have actually played a single video game in their entire life?This is the discussion thread for an article on GTPlanet:
Gran Turismo is “Incredible”, “Slick”, and the “Greatest Video Game Movie Ever”
Film industry guests invited to a special, advanced screening of the upcoming Gran Turismo movie have been full of praise for the Neill Blomkamp-directed feature, highlighting it as an enjoyable flick that defies the usual game-to-movie expectations...

I think it's fair to include, as it is a story based on the real driver, and the real driver did unfortunately experience it. It's hiding from the truth otherwise, and it becomes an unfair representation about the dangers of motorsport. I hope the movie handles it with tact rather than as a dramatic set piece.
With that said, I hope the family of the spectator was consulted beforehand, as the matter should concern those affected first and foremost.

It's been a huge question I've been wondering as well. I hope they approach it with some class by anonymizing the incident on a different track and even a different driver other than Jann's character. If they can take liberties with the story to make it more exciting, they can surely take enough liberties to show respect to the victim's family.

I hope they will not ruin it with woke agenda.

The story is about a black driver, so I guess you're already angry over it.

I'm not sure how they'd manage to put that into a movie with the plot 'gamer drives car vroom' but we'll have to wait and see about that.

What, are you thinking there's a chance that a younger Emily Jones is going to suddenly show up and make some sassy remarks? This whole "woke" thing seems to live in your head rent-free.
Actual racing has been "woke" for a while, anyway, between Lewis Hamilton and drivers from older eras, like Michele Mouton or Helle Nice.

...You're actually saying this..about a story of a black driver (Played appropreately by a black actor)....
The fact that you used that word already has me questioning you entirely.

To be woke it would need to be a white actor having chance to playing the story of a black driver. To use only the same race type is taboo.
Colourblind casting reflects equality.
Still different cultures take different times to be diverse, in my local cinema the popcorn is all the same colour.

Except this is based on a true story and given today's very reactive climate, the amount of backlash there would've been to put a white actor in the roll would absolutely be enormous. Its one thing for a fictional character (As long as the character is properly developed and isn't just a hollow swap purely for Brownie points, which is something I absolutely despise even as a Minority myself), its whole different matter when its supposed to be based on a True story.

Wow, this thread is going to the drain. I will watch the movie and judge it on its film merits alone, not some dim-witted comparison/expectation with it's video game/real life inspiration. I'm also disengaging from further posts on the matter. Adieu.

I hope people don’t ruin it with their negative reception because they interpret „wokeism“ in everything they see.

This whole crash thing included in the movie is predictably being blown out of proportion. Just an unfortunate incident. Nothing more, nothing less. Of course Sony is going to handle it with class. I don't know why people would think otherwise. Its not like Sony or this Gran Turismo movie is trying to rival the harsh realities that Passion Of The Christ, Schindler's List, Saving Private Ryan, or 1914 portrayed.
