If you boil down the plot to a couple of sentences. Anything can sound ridiculous.
Le Mans has no plot to speak of. They were months into filming before they tagged on a love story.
Ford vs Ferrari is about a down on his luck test driver getting his shot at the big time.
Top Gun 2 is about an ex-pilot training young recruits.
Gran Turismo is reportedly based on Jann Mardenborough’s story. Who reached LMP1 & GT500. Even if the film doesn’t chime with critics. What matters to most fans are cool shots and racing sequences. That’s one of the reasons Neill Blomkamp has been appointed director.
Some reactions are strange. Failing to take into account bigger business opportunities and how this plays out for the Gran Turismo franchise.
Uncharted had a $120m budget. It’s raked in 4x that amount and brought the series to an all new audience. You can bet multiple sequels are in the works and Sony are rebooting an Uncharted game. Even if it’s not with Naughty Dog.

This has nothing to do with PD or Sony's game division. Even if they pulled the plug on this, the money would be going to another movie, not to PD.

So, it is going to take Kaz's precious mind and input off of Gran Turismo itself... That's my main concern. I'm pretty confident PD has enough money (budget) to keep on pushing really hard in development. But Sony has definitely cut its wings short in favor of more profits...

Kaz has barely anything to do with this, except maybe signing off on stuff and being a consultant. Sony Pictures has its own people and their own machinery to work on this.

The problem with the Uncharted movie is that there was a perfectly good fan-made pilot they could build off of with Nathan Fillion and Stephen Lang, and the fans, myself included, loved it. No-one can convince me that Mark Wahlberg was a good cast as Victor Sullivan, and though Tom Holland kinda works, his casting smacks of cashing in on his Marvel fame.

People really do the rest of PD dirty when they insinuate that Kaz does everything and game development couldn't survive without him.

They best have a role for me in the movie; every movie needs a crazy old man in it. I don't have papers but my older brother did, he also had papers that said he wasn't cazy. So I think I fit the role. Everybody respond to this post it may help me!

Wait, why are they remaking that Clint Eastwood movie?
Gran Turismo movie plot summary (Leaked):
A young man who loves cars finds himself unable to afford them, so he buys a second hand **** box and races at the local track. He realises some races pay better than others so he keeps doing the same race repeatedly to earn small amounts of money for upgrades. The race track closed down unexpectedly after a few weeks.
One day, he discovers that there are races overseas in Japan that pay handsomely. But with his car it would be impossible to win. Thankfully, he has a friend who own a model that would be extremely competitive. Unfortunately, it isn't eligible for this race due to its horsepower and superior handling.
Through a stroke of luck, they discover that if they altered the gearbox ratios, it would fool the racing officials and allow them to compete in that car. He borrows the car, buys a ticket to Tokyo and competes numerous times, ending up with a substantial amount of money.
With this newfound cash, he bought many expensive and rare cars and gains the respect of the car community. But little did his friends know about his gambling addiction. Every day he would return to the same roulette table to try his luck, only to never win more than $5,000. To fund his gambling addiction, he became an engine builder. In an Mazda warehouse, he finds numerous unused engines and starts transplanting them to different models. Life started to make sense again.
On an ordinary Sunday morning drive home, he hit a tiny rock which caused his steering to veer to the left excessively, leading to a crash that ended his life.

Wow Neill Blomkamp, i don’t know what to expect from this movie, but with him as a director it could get very interesting

Movies adapted from video games are notoriously terrible, and Gran Turismo seems like a really hard game to make into a movie. Especially when they've continuously failed to bring any sort of storytelling into the game itself. It requires reaching well outside the games themselves to establish any sort of narrative, at which point it's really only a Gran Turismo movie for the sake of brand recognition.
