I thought Dunsfold at first, because they've been used as an airport location in a few things recently (RED 2, Secret Invasion), but I also thought it could be Gaydon. There's... some CGI going on there though :lol:

That was in Hungary at an airbase. It was the most incredible setup I’ve ever seen. The lighting used felt like it came from another planet. Especially when approaching the set from afar. You can see the lighting in the Sony Camera behind the scenes video that was share about a day ago.
 
Local SCCA club got some invite that you can sign up for a screening today and so I went. It was...ok...

I think Jann's story itself is dramatic enough, especially to all of us who has played GT, seen the GT Academy process, maybe even knew some people from it. But of course they need to dramatize it, to make it Hollywood. The racing actions where it was shot practical, were pretty cool. Stand in LMP3 cars and GT3 cars are cool and sounds great. Weird that they had to use Hungaroring to stand in for many places(all?) A lot of the wide shots are CG but sometimes they just put a skin over Hungaroring so if you know Le Mans and that you know they are not at the same place....

Manufactured drama, cut and paste "villains" were silly, as was the glazed brake bits and how he knew that from playing GT. But playing all those to layman I think it makes for a more entertaining movie, and I think I would enjoy the movie more not knowing all of that(also 3:14 in a LMP2 car at Le Mans? lol).

But tbh, better than what I expected in terms of making "Gran Turismo" into a movie. I think they had the right idea, and Jann's story is remarkable. Also David Harbour is actually pretty fun to watch in his over the top way. And Orlando Bloom, if he was a stand in for Darren Cox, I think does the schtick pretty well.

As long as the racing scenes were good then I'm excited. Tbh I was craving for more racing movies, I don't care for the plot.

The entire story?

They showed that he won the GT Academy, which is the premise and the inciting incident for the main character. Clearly, that's the first third of the movie with the actual arc being how far he goes in real-life racing. Depending on which races they focus on, that can practically be any finishing position in the final race by the end of the film.

The story is also about racing. Can you name one racing movie where someone didn't win or lose by the end of it? Racing is predictable, but not this movie. Most of us who know Jann's story aren't even 100% sure how this film will end.

Defending the trailer, like its your own movie.

But for me, showing every race series in the trailer was enough of a spoiler for me. Everyone is different.

Not even in movie form can this franchise avoid getting delayed

Kinda happy with this tbh, cause I'm on a work vacation during the time this would come out. And I definitely want to see this is in IMAX.

I may wait for it to stream. I've only seen one movie in the theatres since the pandemic and I don't feel I'm missing anything. Except maybe someone who won't stop talking during the movie, or smelly feet :lol:

I'm glad all my in-person cinema experiences were at the ones that also serve food while the movie is going. Far more pleasant smells and experiences (Unless you watch a horror movie and you chose the absolute worse time to gulp down that soda :lol:)

Simultaneously good and bad. Distance from Oppenheimer can only help this movie’s IMAX prospects. But two weeks before is not a good time to cause release date confusion. Sony would have been wise to announce this earlier when the strike first came out and tracking suggested Barbenheimer was a real thing.

This movie should be like the real game: super nice cars, classic lemans cars, LMP1, Group C everything one would have wanted but no race to attend with these cars. only fictional Gr3 and Gr4 cars...

That's it! It's PD's phylpsophy to make content for online games. PD doens't care about single race players. I have understood it and I don't believe that PD will turn another direction one day. PD can add 20 champs (3-7 races) in different groups with good balance and pay for win. And single player games have a big fun playing these 20 champsm grinding and try different cars. But all we have it's 2-3 races for grind and oppotrunity to add new PS Profile to start new game.
I dream that somebody askKazunori Yamauchi personally Kazunori Yamauchi why he doesnt' care what many GT fans want. If GT 7 was on PC, some fans can make modes or own events for the game, but it's Playstation, and we are all in this jail

My last hope is Forza Motorsport. I hope that there guys will make a normal physics and AI balance for fun races. GT needs to feel competition, and I need another one good racing games, cos I'm get tired to repeat all events for 5 times in GT7.
