Pretty sure this isn't even remotely a very new thing.Between this, Barbie and Oppenheimer, it really is the season of overhyping idiots.
You're obviously easily-convinced mate.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.
Oh it's not, it's super not. But with the state of film criticism on the internet, plus the dire box office results this summer, it all looks very desperate all around.Pretty sure this isn't even remotely a very new thing.
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...
Oh my god they're actually doing THE wreck?!
Quite. We've been having this discussion - I wasn't sure I even wanted to bring it up on here - and, yeah... Anyone who knows the details of this particular incident won't be overjoyed to see it being used.Seeing that wreck get referenced is cause for concern. A LOT of concern. I'm not as eager to see this movie as I was before this...
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.Seeing that wreck get referenced is cause for concern.

The story is about a black driver, so I guess you're already angry over it.I hope they will not ruin it with woke agenda.
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.I hope they will not ruin it with woke agenda.
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.I hope they will not ruin it with woke agenda.
I just looked up this accident having no prior knowledge of it, and...yikes. I am both curious and concerned about how the movie will handle that...Quite. We've been having this discussion - I wasn't sure I even wanted to bring it up on here - and, yeah... Anyone who knows the details of this particular incident won't be overjoyed to see it being used.
...You're actually saying this..about a story of a black driver (Played appropreately by a black actor)....I hope they will not ruin it with woke agenda.
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....You're actually saying this..about a story of a black driver (Played appropreately by a black actor)....
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.To be woke it would need to be a white actor having chance to playing the story of a black driver.

Colourblind casting reflects equality.
Still different cultures take different times to be diverse, in my local cinema the popcorn is all the same colour.
What even is this list...?1: Blade Runner 1982
(Ridley Scot)
2: Seven Samurai 1954
(Akira Kurosawa)
3: Sonic the Hedgehog 2020
(Jeff Fowler)
Oh boy if Gran Turismo can knock Sonic off my list of all time cinematic classics this will be amazing.
What does that got to do with anything?They're movie critics....they're watching a movie.Video games don't enter the equationHow many movie reviewers have actually played a single video game in their entire life?
Well it would probably matter when reviewing a movie based off of a video game. Although in this movie's case, it's based more on GT Academy than the actual game's structure.What does that got to do with anything?They're movie critics....they're watching a movie.Video games don't enter the equation
I hope people don’t ruin it with their negative reception because they interpret „wokeism“ in everything they see.I hope they will not ruin it with woke agenda.
Mmm... it was a crash that involved a fatality. Whether or not that aspect makes it into the film, it's clearly replicating the angles of that crash and you're getting into the realms of using someone's death as entertainment. It's... unsettling.This whole crash thing included in the movie is predictably being blown out of proportion. Just an unfortunate incident. Nothing more, nothing less.
