I pray for a good movie focus to cars. And not like FF and NFS movies..

Anyone know if the movie will be shot entirely outside or will there be full interiors

I'm almost certain visually, It will look amazing and the acting will be pretty good. The only thing lacking in Tron and Oblivion is the storyline. We'll see if he can come up with something good. I liked Rush, and I kinda hope the story ends up being similar to that.

I can't think of a movie that would benefit from having Gran Turismo as a title. Either the movie would be good enough to stand on it's own two feet (and not immediately drive away the sort of people that think Gran Turismo is boring), or it'd be a POS that was just trying to cash in.
This smacks to me of more wish-fulfillment on the part of Kaz. He originally wanted to be a movie director and got involved with Sony to try and make that happen. He ended up creating a very successful video game franchise, and he's still looking for ways to spin that into making his movie dreams happen.
While I think he should get his shot at making a movie (he's hardly worse than any of the other random people making movies), I don't think it should be Gran Turismo. Gran Turismo as a game is about as far removed from being a movie as you can get. Trying to push Gran Turismo to fit into the movie mould is almost certainly going to be ugly.
Some games could be translated fairly well into a movie, mostly strongly story based ones. An Uncharted movie could be an Indiana Jones-esque wise-cracking action flick. A MGS movie could be a hard-bitten political thriller. A Gran Turismo movie...could have cars? The fact that the Gran Turismo games have basically zero in the way of plot to start with, and only the vaguest implication of a zero-to-hero structure to the game really means that any movie would only be tenuously related at best.
I hope it never happens.

I have received a copy of the script from an unnamed source, here is the synopsis.
Kazunori Yamauchi (Jackie Chan) is a loose cannon cop who doesn't play by the rules with a penchant for solving crimes at his own pace. But when Andrew Wilson (Christoph Waltz) steals all the worlds Porsche's, Kazunori will be forced to team up with straight laced Dan Greenawalt (Nicolas Cage) to find the missing cars and catch the dangerous Wilson before a bomb is set off in Tokyo. Also, godzilla is in it and some ninja's for some reason.
Gran Turismo, coming to a theater near you.... Soon.

Throwing more money at a highly inefficient organization will not make it efficient all of a sudden. Quite the opposite actually, it means they'll just take longer to release even more uncompleted features. PD doesn't need more money, they need a change of structure. As a matter of fact, if you want them to become efficient, you would need to give them less money...
On-topic: I really don't see an action type of movie for GT. Documentary perhaps, but there is no story whatsoever, never has been. So they'll have to make one up. Which (as has been said already) means it's just a movie/story on its own that gets the GT brand slapped on to it.
Now if it would be a GT Academy thing (gamer to racer), that could definitely be thing, but they tossed that script.

I wrote this long ago:
This really could be a good movie.
How do you know this?

Exactly what I was thinking: they tossed the only possible worthwhile script.

I hope the director will bring raw sounds in the movie, got tired of Hollywood sound of cars 
If Mr. Kosinski watch this, make a movie with this sort of sound. Whatever the script and cars that became the star.
Listen to the beautiful accurate sounds ...

This movie cannot possibly be good.
And yet I'll probably watch it.
And hope a Subaru 360 is somehow involved...

What kind of scares me is the intro to the latest Mini VGT... I don't ever remember cops in a GT car trailer before! Could that have been a hint? It seems really close in the timing of things... release of the car and now this discussion of a movie. Things that make me go hmmm!

I asked TGAT about this and I did not receive enough replies there, so I'll ask this again:
Does anyone else think that an anime adaptation of Gran Turismo will work? Especially given that better movies based on video games are mostly animated ones... 💡

came here expecting hate and negativity, i found a massive punfest.
Btw let's just hope they don' t take the NFS route, or the FF one. Something a la days of thunder would be great.

That right there is one of the reasons why I love Italy <3
About three years ago I was a leader in a youth camp in Emilia-Romagna, and once during the camp there was a hillclimb event near the town where we were. Sadly I didn't get an opportunity to go and see it, but we could hear the engines roaring from a distance and echoing between the mountains. Epic stuff.
Edit: Also good to see that the Lancia Stratos seems to handle similar in real life as in GT6
