During Sunday's NASCAR on NBC broadcast, the plug for the movie (they plug this and Oppenheimer after commercial breaks) apparently still promotes an August 11 date.

So is the delay happening or not? I also getting mixed signals about the delays outside the United States - the cinemas I went here (in Indonesia) did not have any idea about it (prior to that, I knew the intended release date for here, August 9).

EDIT: Apparently the delay is for US only - Australia still has August 10 as date for instance.

If the movie comes out on time in some areas but not others, it will either lead to tons of people pirating it if it's good or ignoring it if it's bad and both would result in millions of revenue lost. I would like the movie to be profitable enough to get a sequel that focuses on at least one of the GT Academy USA winners or maybe even allow for GT Academy to come back as a competition again.

Edit- it still shows the initial date for most places around where I live and earlier for IMAX.

August 24 (just one day before U.S. release) date also confirmed for Mexico and Malaysia. Meanwhile, still no exact confirmation for Indonesia - IMDb and hearsay reports August 9 but @SonyPicturesID has not announced any date.

Also, in-game plug for the movie (not sure what it does right now) shown in the Viewers Gift article:

I can't watch more than 30 seconds of that. Alongside the clearly voice synthesised robot narration, it's obviously "written" by AI as well. Awful stuff.

I've never been to an early access showing of a movie before but the earliest showing within 90 miles of where I live is August 8th and for $20 IMAX tickets, the theater seems a bit empty to me.

Also even after the movie is officially released, on the 11th or 25th, it isn't showing anywhere that it will be in any theaters closer than 20 miles to me and I have a theater that usually gets every movie a few miles from me. I can't help but think something is going on that isn't known to the public yet that is keeping movie tickets from showing up on all the websites that were initially intended.
I like the plot, visuals, some of the music, and obviously the series that it's based on, but I REALLY don't like the confusion surrounding where and when to watch the movie.
The more I see about the movie, the more I want it to succeed but it's hard to get my hopes up that it will. I didn't do much research but it seems that the budget for the movie is estimated to be $100 million so I think there's a decent chance that it will make a profit eventually.

So turns out Jann was basically the one that wanted the Nurburgring crash included according to this article.

Thank you very much for article. It is interesting to read that.
But there is quite a shocking aspect for me. It is that I did no see any mention of the victim or family/realtives, I mean ID are not needed to know sure.
Either the journalist did not think of it intentionally (or not) or even Ian himself film production. But I cannot comprehend that the decision to include the incident was made without prior contact with the family member of the deceased person…?
Like this it look that Ian wanted to include that for himself no matter what is motives ?
Am I mis judging ?
 
Trailer makes it look like a b movie/straight to TV level film, but with polished car scenes.

No real surprise I guess. Will watch it of course, but probably will wait for it to be available at home.

The Journalist definately seemed to have left that out when asking. Does make mention that it was as long as it was handled with care so as the person directly involved in said incident as well as the film itself from initial scripts to post production, I can't imagine Jann didn't at least attempt to reach to those people.
 
I think it would be cool if there was a track in the game that had the GT Movie poster on a building or movie board advertising somewhere around the track or if they added it for the championship esports races because then it won’t be permanent.

Yes I completely agree with you and rather feel that the way this article is written leave this feeling. Voluntarily or not from the writter that is another question.
As it is customary from the movie industry (mostly) to handle such « reel events » in their scripts with care and thoughtfulness I was quite surprised reading this piece.
And I hope Yan will be able to ask for an edit on it for clarification before any misunderstanding.
Well if anyone from the film production see that, I would suggest it should be done. Either that or be careful with journalists writing about this aspect of the movie. It could be a bad buzz avoided. ( which is super duper important when promoting)
I mean one could say bad bizz is still buzz.
But that one could harm Yann himself and the family of victims and those injured the same way.
 
So my friend got early screening tickets via PS Plus for August 8th, he just checked in with the theater today and they’re still honoring the tickets and showing it on those dates. Kinda odd, but I guess I get to see it almost 3 weeks before most people do??

Very confused.
 
Despite my initial reaction, I'm quite looking forward to seeing this now. There's also an I-Max very near by home, so if it is screening there, I might have to try it out.

I-Max is quite a good name for a guide dog...
 
I already saw the german movie premiere last week in the cinema of the Nürburgring's main building. The soundtrack was actually pretty good. It also includes Bon Iver's "Wash.", "Harder Than You Think" by Public Enemy and Moby's "God Moving Over The Face Of The Waters" in one of the final scenes of the film. Totally reminded me of Michael Mann's movie Heat.

The delay is specifically to do more early screenings with the public & influencers. Seeing as the actors can’t do media duties.
 
The early screenings are part of an adjusted marketing strategy given that the actors cannot promote it. It came about because of the writers strike. Seems to be working fairly well, anecdotally there is a bit of chatter about it outside of this thread.

The actors strike (SAG-AFTRA) is the reason for it, not writers (WGA). Both are distinct, but intertwinned, strike(s).

Yup. Although their strikes were coordinated in timing, they are different. Unfortunately, Canada gets lumped into it - being that so much of Hollywood work gets outsourced to Canada.
