Hollywood news site “TheWrap” is reporting some certainly unexpected news: Sony Pictures has started production on an “action movie” based on the Gran Turismo series.
The film will be created by Mike De Luca and Dana Brunetti, two high-profile producers who have worked on Oscar-nominated films such as “The Social Network”, “Moneyball”, and the upcoming movie adaption of the best-selling book “Fifty Shades of Grey”.
TheWrap notes that Sony is looking to compete with car-related movies from other studios, such as Universal’s “The Fast and the Furious”, DreamWork’s upcoming “Need for Speed”, and Legendary Pictures’ upcoming “Hot Wheels”.
No further details are available, but GTPlanet will keep a close eye on the progress of the film as production moves forward.
Thanks to CorvetteConquer for the quick tip!
See more articles on Gran Turismo Movie.
Are they gonna use some of the on game footage? Cause if they are good luck with the sounds.
A movie…
Action movie, competing with Fast and Furious?
Oh man that sure can’t be a good idea…
Sooo, the first half hour will be trendy jazz music and then an hour and a half of engine sounds? The human element is one of the major things GT has been missing over the years. I’m really interested in how they can make this work.
In the credits “based on a real life simulator”
So this will be a documentary right? It cant be an actual movie with actors and a storyline? Thatd be like making a movie about a door or a tree stump. Gt is all virtual so if it was an actual movie itd be worse than a movie about a stump or a door, it would be like a movie about a virtual tree stump or door but with kitchen appliance sound effects. ‘the tree was cut down by a chainsaw that sounds like an electric tooth brush…
It’s going to focus on the battle for track supremacy between the hackers and nonhackers. The title will be “Gran Turismo, Curse of the Hacking Banned”
That’s going to be the most boring movie ever, there is no story whatsoever in GT haha. I love GT, but there would be no point in making a movie like that.
WTF !
when my dream come true.
Now I see, I think this is complete bulls***. Doesn’t make sense.
If I remember correctly KY had studied film studies and has a masters in it? I wonder his involvement in the topic had an influence with all the Gran Turismo trailers which are admittedly awesome, if that’s so, he should direct the filming. Or if not, get him to work with the film.
By filming I meant film directing.
This has proven to be one of if not the most controversial topic to date. Without much to go on once again we find ourselves speculating. Sony isn’t a company that is known for putting out a large amount of bad product and with the two people they have producing this film it has a good chance of being something that movie goers will enjoy. From start to finish it takes so many years for these progects to make it to the theater so lets see what further developments come before we are to quick to rush to judgment.
Off subject but does anyone know how the gtplanet app on google play for android is? Is it worth getting? Does it always run and eat a smartphones battery? Or should I continue to just google gtplanet instead? Thanks in advance for anwsering.
App works great get it.
The app is great.
Let’s hope a motorsport related movie (i can’t wait for RUSH for example), and not a stupid and pathetic action movie in which people drifts around and stuff blows up.
+1 i’m really excited about RUSH looks awesome.
If this is true.it should be only about cars, the most pure car movir ever.
I couldn’t think of any good ways this movie could be a hit.. But, I will watch it. Hope it’s a GT Series documentary, really. + some GT Academy stuff.
i smell a bad movie… but i hope i’m wrong
I hope this will be a good movie, because I love the Gran Turismo series. However, the history of movies adapted from video games does not lead me to hold out very high hopes for this one… I’m looking at you, Silent Hill, Resident Evil, Postal, Tomb Raider and the many other movies based on video games that were completely terrible.
My hopes aren’t high, because I have been bitterly disappointed in the past, but I shall keep my eye on it :P
More excited about GT6 though ;)
This movie has no limiting or specific factors so there are too many possibilities of what it might be about, they could make it about almost anything really that involves race tracks and cars
I honestly have no idea what this movie could be about if it wants to catch on and compete with movies like fast and furious, the only thing it could be about is gt academy (journey into it) or somin like rush 2013
But I think it should be about a guy who gets sacked into the game and then races to the top without any danger of dying or fear and limits, hw can only escape once he gets to lvl 40, this would be crazy
Pfft, compete with Fast and Furious… Man I used to like that movie back when I was a kid but NOW, I hate it and it blows, not only those but it sucks too. I hope this GT movie freakin kills it, save us all from that dumn movie already because its so stupid.
Seriously, the movie should be about a fictional story with a made up character who wins GT Academy. Who wins a bunch of races against the world’s top race car driver, and get chase by some annoying videogames hater.
what the hek are they gonna base it on? loll.. gran turismo doesn’t have a story line :P.. the only way i see this being remotely related to the game is if they make a movie about GT Academy. I don’t even think there is enough there to push that beyond a series anyway..
YOU don’t understand creativity or imagination. A GT movie can be so open-ended and you’re dismissing that by saying GT can’t or doesn’t have a storyline. In my eyes, most of you people are as ignorant as a some other jackhole.
^^^I like that response!^^
Thanks for the broken ribs AJ :)
There are two kinds of people ;)
Next week someone will announce “Forza: The Movie”, but it will cost $5 more for a ticket but include 3D. There will be no option for the cheaper 2D movie until the 2nd run. LOL. I will pass on both until they come out on DVD and since I have a PS3 I will get the Blue Ray version where there are cut scenes included in which the leading man drives a chromeline car.
This will not be related to gran turismo game I aim 100% on that . The movie may be called gran turismo , like the BMW gran turismo has nothing to do with this game.
Sony cannot hold the copyright for such a word just like titanic movie couldn’t copyright that name …. I am afraid everyone has the wrong end of the stick and it probably just be a general car movie
Peace
On the first few lines of the article it says “based on the Gran Turismo series”.
Im afraid you got the wrong end of the stick or whatever
Maserati Gran Turismo?
Out of all the games I’ve played, I never expected GT to be a movie.
As many of you have said, there is no storyline to GT so they might just do a movie about racing. I’m wondering how many people will show up for the premiere of the movie
Possible working titles:
‘The Fast and the Skyline’.
‘Nissan Skyline: The First Movie’.
‘A History of Skylines’.
‘Gone in 60 Skylines’.
You’re so funny!! I can’t lol.
Vanilla Skyline
GTR a Skyline Story
“Dude…wheres my Skyline”
Skyline Summer
Smokey And The Skyline
Saving Private Skyline
Quantum of Skyline
Slumdog Skyline
Pirates of the Skyline
Paranormal Skyline
a Charlie Brown Skyline
Miracle on Skyline street
Planes, Trains, & Skylines
Fast Times at Skyline High
Arsenic & Old Skylines
One Flew Over the Skyline
Larry the Skyline guy
Lord of the Skylines
Planet of the Skylines
Journey to the center of the Skyline
Wow not really funny either.
Any attention is good attention?
Its gonna be similar to a movie based off Nascar lol
So there’s gonna be a NFS movie and a GT Movie interesting
This should be interesting. Hope it does well.
Please, let this be GT Academy the movie.
Just hope the movie doesn’t have flickery shadows, suspension less driving, and space rocket smoke when skid with a 70hp japanese cookie box.
And btw i bet a dime or Two that the main plot will be a gang of miatas or gtrs xDD
Lmao
Perplexing
It’s hard to beat a movie series that was practically inspired by Gran Tursimo 1. I wish them good luck.
If you’re referring to F&F – I think those movies were inspired by NFS Underground…. not GT.
Other way round. Nfs was a rip of f&f
LMAOOOOOOOO A MOVIE
This will not turn out well.
Just think about as a car lovers movie. Just full of loving premiums and standards cars. Because if anyone thinks about it. When was the last time anyone has seen a really great car film just film that’s focused on hyper, exotics, and sports cars. Maybe a some gt1, gt3, and prototype cars. I would like to see a movie about great cars that I’ve none to love from gran turismo and forza in a movie with sexy big boob looking chiks in mini skirts like that corny ass redline movie, but them chiks were bad as hell!!!
Oh look, people taking this opportunity to bash GT5, as in every other front page post. Get a new hobby.
I wonder if any Nissan GTRs will be featured.
It will be simple no good gamer loser…to world class race driver….story….you bet!
This could inspire a new generation of racers….
Who’s gonna audition for ” university drop out gamer hero”?
It will either be ditched (like uncharted, gow of war, devil may cry) or it will be bloody awful (like resident evil).
How dare you! I love Resident Evil :)
Seriously though, how on earth are they going to make a movie out of a game that literally has no story to it. It’s obviously just going to leech off the popularity already associated with the Gran Turismo franchise but have no connection whatsoever to the game. Maybe the best one could hope for is the inclusion of some of the fictional GT tracks, but even that is a stretch I reckon.
I too thought Resident Evil was good. Not the best, but good! ;)
@Mer1nza – Pulling a story-line out of ones ass is what writers are paid to do! Look at the G.I. Joe movies for example! As for the fictional GT tracks, ever heard of CGI?
I too thought Resident Evil was good. Not the best, but ok! ;)
@Mer1nza – Pulling a story-line out of ones ass is what writers are paid to do! Look at the two G.I. Joe movies for example… As for the fictional GT tracks, ever heard of CGI?
Im glad metal gear solid was not a movie
U people need to chill out!!!these are high class movie makers making a making with a great story line that’s going to go into it and once it comes out and its the best movie ever that year I can rub this in your faces! who’s with me?!?!?!?!?!?!?!!??!(I bet no one)
Please point out the storyline in the Gran Turismo series.
The only way this works is if it’s something like Initial D, where someone aspires to get better and better at driving and strives to be a professional racer. Get really technical with it and really showcase driving techniques as the centre stage.
Interestingly, Kaz knows about this or no? :))loL
Either this is a bit late for April Fools, or really early for it.
How could they make a movie about driving an arcade car racing game against AI that is so dumb it does not know its arse from a whole in the ground?
because they will put a story into it!
GT actiom movie?
What action movie elements are in GT? Therde are NO explosions, NO gun fights, NO car stunts… there isnt even car damage!
While I love the game, an action movie Gran Turismo does not make. If they just use the name, then that’s also stupid because people will see the movie and then buy the game, only to give it bad reviews and scores because it is “boring” due to no explosions, etc.
I really hope this is one of those movies that get cancelled during production.
You must have ALOT of imagination to turn GT into a movie. I bet that it would have nothing to do with the actual game.
Chill out one and all, the movie will go into production, and the release date will just keep getting pushed out, so it won’t be out til holiday 2080. By that stage most of won’t be around any longer to see the impending car crash. A lot of people will be mad though that Vin Diesel will not be able to be signed Sony due to the fact he is with Universal and they will never let Sony have him.
*signed by Sony*
The cast will be strictly Japanese,and all with the last name Nismo :o) Signed by Fony!!
Wow, trying to get more milk out of a dried up tiit… I have a hard time believing Kaz is going to accept this abomination.
All joking aside, THIS is the most idiotic idea ever. I don’t see how this could work ever if you did have “Oscar nominated” producers.
Do not want.
This is a joke, a really bad joke, right? RIGHT!?
A movie about a driving simulator game… Look out, Microsoft Train Simulator 2013 could be next! This is ridiculous.
I’m more worried about a Candy Crush movie! lol
Boring,cars will be undistructible, is the storyline going to be about the avatars? Or the gloves, suits and helmets?
Gullible OP is Gullible
Storyline ‘ good guys – bad guys ‘ Good guys, want bad guys, to stop manipulating and cheat the buyers of the series with old stuff, and saving the best for last, and the bad guys want to stop the good guys for revealing the scam they live by everyday ..
This is ridiculous…
This sounds interesting, although there is a possibility that they just use the name “gran turismo” for the title but not actually have any connection to the game.
If they make this movie about GT then it could be interesting!
People could go to the store with their new paint chips for their cars, in search of the gold chrome paint chip!
Movie editing would be fine for damage because in GT there isn’t any damage anyways!
The people with cars that have tinted windows could be in the “standard” cars.
And then there could be a big battle in every race in which people call other people cheaters for using illegal parts.
And then Jeff Gordon could pop out of nowhere and say “Use the force.. SKID RECOVERY FORCE!”
Note: I used a lot of sarcasm up there. I hope it’s good but I’m scared this movie won’t be too special, or anything like GT. GT isn’t meant to be a movie.
Could be a career like movie.
Action movie based on gt series???
Mike De Luca and Dana Brunetti, please stop this project, sounds really bad
I wonder will some try to hack cars in this movie…..
Not sure this will work, I wanna play the game not go to the cinema and watch. Especially when most of the cars in it will be Nissan.
Also I can’t see cinema goers being to impressed with a car having a scratch from a 200mph Collison.
lucas ordonez story…
from gane to reality…
Although, I do wish them luck
Where’s the GTP casting call .. :)
Don’t take this offensively, but I don’t think that would make a very good movie.
Oh, I’m offended alright. I reckon this movie’s gonna rank as one of the greats. It’ll be a Citizen Kane for our times.
Those where the least expected Gran Turismo news ever!
Wow. Didn’t expect this, came right out of the asteroid belt.
I wonder how many different versions of a stock Mazda Miata will be showcased in the movie. 30? 40?
60.
And over a hundred Skylines.
Just focus on the damn game!
Regarding the damage i would assume when a car crashes at 150mph someone will run out with a paint brush and slap some black paint on the side of the cars involved
Will there be dlc deleted clips that we can download?
So that means there will be standard cars and cars take no.damage?
Will they use place holder sound effects or stick with the hoover’s? :)
I can’t imagine this working at all as typical action-flick blockbuster. Gran Turismo doesn’t appeal the same crowd as most racing “games. What *could* work would be a deep and introspective work along the lines of Grand Prix or Le Mans, or possibly the upcoming Rush (looks promising.) If they try to do a fast-n-furious type of thing it’s almost bound to be a complete disaster.
+1
Gran turismo is meant to be played with a proffesional state of mind, which is what i think theyre going to forget about :/
Megacorp in reactionary popular-culture cash-in shocker!
So it’s gonna be about…cars?
I feel that I should be in this movie…..
I want to be that guy who gets driven off the cliff with my GTR and blows up! I hope they get stunt doubles. Hehe!!
wtf
“Am I being punked?” (Coach Gregg Popovich voice)
“human drama”
Sony is a little late.. April was three months ago.
I wonder if standard cars will be in the movie.
hahahahaha
Alot of dups and no cars that everybkdy else has had for years.
Been thinking bout this since last night and if kaz has any say in this . It can get pretty confusing and this might be the end of gt series. It will might be the thing to turn alotta hardcore racers away from the gt series. If there using ea as an example nothing good can coke from this
Gonna be delayed i guess
will the cars in the movie go bffffff, bfffffff, bfffffffffffff?
Exposure means everything. Sony is working prospective PS4 customers and giving long time users something to talk about.
Smart way to attract new users.
Maybe a Documentary about GT series, but definitely, nobody want a movie like fastfurious.
This will be one retarded movie. Plot? Nah. Character development? Nah. Just ACTION ACTION ACTION! Isn’t that why we play the game? I would never watch this movie, but my wife would NEVER watch it with me.
wut
That was certainly unexpected…
This was the last thing that I thought they would make into a movie
Agreed, usually video games don’t make the transition to the big screen very well. With good writing and a healthy focus on the cars lets hope they can pull this off. I be optimistic and supportive.
Wow I guess some people are taking this as a joke
Worst idea ever. I hope they can it.
Can’t wait to see the new Nissan commercial!!
Here comes the end!
GranTurismo will now be going the same route as Dirt.
All Americanised “Yee-haw” “high five” “awesome drift” crap!
The end is nigh, thank god pCars is in development and this may even lead to me having to buy a SpyboxOne for Forza, and i really don’t wanna do that!
@ GTO_VR4 LOLz
Please movie director, make this a movie about about a dude with X2013 car and a “fast and furious” style.
Wait…what? My question is why? This is WAY out of left field.
What the… wasn’t expecting that!
same here! ;)
Please… There is a shooting in Nurburgring during the Dream Casr Championship, later comes the police, and the bad guy escapes in Nordschleife, and appears Bob in his 370Z and destroys the bad guy’s car. The next scene is in Grand Valley Speedway, near is a big hotel, inside are orgys and…
Suddenly a 370z bursts through the wall. Wierdly undamaged. Then an x1 drives by and..
The b spec driver will be played by Romain Grosjean……
…or Pastor Maldonado.
Epic laugh :lol:
Most movies are filmed at 24fps…
This one will be filmed at 24fps, 32fps, 18fps, 50fps, and 10fps interchanged at random intervals. There will also be 75 second pauses in between scenes throughout the movie that simply show a growing bar crossing the screen with the movie title.
Constant 24 FPS which is why it looks smooth unlike video games running at 24 fps. Or so I’m told
HaHa! Brilliant!
A variable framerate!
I know Tom I was just making a joke about GT’s ever changing frame rate drops ;)
The movie will follow a gamer who gets through GT academy and earns his first professional podium win while having sub plots of street racing and sex.
that makes sense.
I would pay to see that! But I doubt it will be like that
LOL Y33 MANE
The Gran & The Turismo
Screw F&F :)
50 Shades of Skyline
oh boy
How long tll we have people trying to splice in their own scenes with the claim of” Just trying to make ir more realistic”
I knew the Comments here would be good lol..
this could be greatest car movie ever.. you know why??
even without saying a word and any story.. with 1000+ cars or even less.. in a movie.. on racing track in full HD watching worlds greatest cars…
that would be like Top Gear only in bigger scale! :)
I was thinking the exact same thing! Keep it English with Jason Statham in the lead roll, Simon Pegg as his off-sider and the Stig as B-Spec Bob!
Lol.
this should be interesting… looking forward to this
Why doesn’t anyone read. *facepalm*
Call me Intrigued. GT being produced by those two (awesome) and who knows who else. But at the same time, it worries me that the director and writer(s) could take it in the wrong direction.
aj, what exactly would the right direction be then?
I’m not a writer. Let’s just say, I hope it will be nothing like the Fast/Furious movies and that it actually has substance without the flash to compensate like Fast/Furious does.
Fair enough then…
Sex on Wheels!
There will be 2 movies, one standart and one premiun.
and dlc scenes
I hope the car sounds are more realistic lol
not all cars will support 3D glasses ;)
So, random car movie with Gran Turismo in the title, eh?
Haha. Hope its not like F&F, that movie is so yuck imo.
Fast and Furious movies are great fun as long as Torretto and O’connor are in them. Otherwise yea, they’re garbage
Tokyo Drift was the only movie without them in it, though Toretto DID make an appearance in the final scene! I haven’t seen Furious 6 yet, but I think all the movies were ok! They seem to have gotten better as they’ve progressed through the movies…
ScotteDawg, are you effin joking?
aj, I only said they were ok, not good…! They have gotten better but that doesn’t mean they’re good…
its probably gonna be about GT’s inception, creation, development and GT academy. My guess.
just to clarify, even though it says that, “Sony is looking to compete with car-related movies from other studios, such as Universal’s “The Fast and the Furious”, DreamWork’s upcoming “Need for Speed etc”, I dont believe that they are going to go down the same route as those games. Gran Turismo is not (meant to be) a fictional game. It is trying to be a full-blown simulator (and it will get there soon).
Notice the producers are have worked on Oscar-nominated films such as “The Social Network”, “Moneyball” etc which are not fictional movies. They are documentary-style movies and anyone who has watched them will probably agree that they are very decent movies, so why should a GT movie be any different. Gran Turismo is so famous now, that it is fitting to have a movie made about it.
Just chill and be positive guys, shucks!
The Social Network and Moneyball are doc-style films. District 9 is a doc-style film. Those are films based on real events, but most situations are made up.
*not doc-style
I know what he means. Neilson, I’m thinking and maybe even hoping that the GT movie will be what you think it could be.
cheers Jakh… I’m not a movie director but you know what I mean
i think its a movie about the GT Academy winners
This could well be it. The story of upcoming champions. I wonder who they make die? A need for speed movie? Fast and the furious to me. Hot wheels could be good with the special effects they can produce these days.
Let yourselves be amazed, don’t post random sht.
i wonder if it has a bunch of 10 year olds with some red bull x1s in it :D
You rarely see good movies based off games (the Mario Bros. Movie was pure evil (and not in the good way)).
The first Resident Evil film.
That’s because Uwe Boll’s a prick about it.
In after inevitable “engine sounds” comments.
Why the heck was this comment in response to the SMB movie? I’m never posting using a mobile browser again.
Uh…..WHAT?! HUH? Ummmm NO!
Storyline:
A stock Nissan GT-R beating all the other supercars / racecars in the world.
End of movie.:)
Hopefully, this will feature REAL action like Rush and no bulls**t like F&F!
Sony is looking to compete with car-related movies from other studios, such as Universal’s “The Fast and the Furious”, DreamWork’s upcoming “Need for Speed”, and Legendary Pictures’ upcoming “Hot Wheels”.
This is easily the most ambitious project ever.
Sources please, before you spout off your mouth. No offense.
Sourcing for what?
The article above, anyone…?
People are confusing lately. I think he needed to see “[quote]/[/quote]”.
Oh the irony… he didn’t read that article but he spouts off his mouth in his own comment.
@KiroKai – GTO is like any of a large number of people who comment without reading the article first! He will be on my “ignore” list!!
@GTO_VR4 – Read please, before you spout off your mouth! We are all offended!!!
Will there be nothing but dull 5 lap races? Just like GT5, no story line at all?
Imagine the PEAK OF SUSPENSE OHMAGAWD – random AI car hits the player car!!!!! GIVE IT AN OSCAR NOW
:|…
Kazunori save us.
Will there Nissan be in the movie?
This makes no sense.
Is there no such thing as “imagination” anymore?
“Imagination”?
Go ahead and tell me how do you imagine a SUCCESSFUL Gran Turismo movie.
There’s no story to a car game called Gran Turismo. “They” will need to use their IMAAAAAGINAAAATION to make something out of a game based on cars into a storyline.
“…how do you imagine a SUCCESSFUL Gran Turismo movie.”
You’re quite the wizard.
will there be standard cars in the movie ?
Aaaaaaaaah, hahaha!!! Kratos, lmbao!
lol
I cried a pity tear. It’s sad.
:D
;)
(^^^)
Surely this is all due to a misplaced line break… I bet someone in Hollywood said “Hey let’s make a film about GT
A” and the movie is really supposed to be about Grand Theft Auto.
Can’t wait to see the Meme thread…
Look up “Grand Theft Auto imdb”. There was a movie made in 1977 with Ron Howard in the lead roll, Marion Ross as the mother of Ron Howard’s girlfriend and even Erin Moran made an uncredited appearance!
For those of you who don’t know who these actors are, they were all in the US sitcom Happy Days…
However, you should know Ron Howard – he’s now a big-time Hollywood director!
Now that actually WOULD be a decent movie…
@smskeeter23 – 1977! It was made in 1977! Only a B-grade movie…
I’ve seen it and was not overly impressed with it, though it was A LOT BETTER than the original “Gone in 60 Seconds” made in 1974! I could only watch about 10 minutes of that!! The re-make with Nicholas Cage was better…
Which reminds me – wouldn’t be good if a premium “Eleanor” was in GT6!?
Will B-Spec bob be in the movie to break in the cars for the main character?
Silent Bob or The Stig to play the part… lol
The quicker I forget about this, the less sick I will feel.
I surely hope this doesn’t go forward…no plot, no characters, what the heck? At least Need for Speed would be a Fast and Furious spin off. But this? This is just…urgh, can’t pull enough will to formulate the necessary words in order to express how I feel.
All PD would have to do is come up with a decent story with…
1. A decent plot, damsel in distress
2. Chase and Race scenes, street and race cars featuring GT venues and cars,
3. Bad guys Turn 10/FM and
4. Mysterious ending (Porsche coming to GT7) ;)
It would take a couple of years to produce the film with a dedicated development crew.
I hope the sounds of the cars will be recreated from the game sounds! *waits – shifty eyes*
Will there Porsche be in the movie?
Cliff hanger… sequel ;)
They should be sponsored by Nissan. Not only would they get cars and funding, but it would really feel like Gran Turismo…
Can I drive the drift scenes for the movie please? I’ve achieved gold trophies in all seasonal drift events over the last two years and drift online regularly. I’m like a virtual Frederic Aasbo.
this will be interesting. are they basing the movie off the game? or are they using the game for footage in the movie? or are they showing some kind of documentary of people racing with the game?
If they could make an movie about Mark Zuckerberg, why not tell the story of an average driving enthusiast becoming an established and respected associate of motorsports and the automotive industry. A journey he begins by making a game for a console once looked upon as a mere toy.
I actually like the idea, they can work wonders with this game. Take a bunch of racers and show their rivalry and turmoils of racing. Considering what these producers do, they’re magic with action/drama type films so this game would be a good base, its got both.
You have to admit, racing isn’t all fun and games, its a tough competitive sport.
I would have never thought that i would see the words : Fifty Shades of Grey, on GTPlanet.
Lol. True.
Lol. True
its safe to say this movie will be more like deuce bigalow less like vanishing point
Vanishing Point was an awesome movie. The old one(with the 1970 440 Six Pack Challenger) and the newer one(with the 1970 426 Hemi Challenger). I have seen both of the real cars in a Museum in Tennesse. :)
If this movie has the characters in a Gran Turismo World, then they’ll complain about having to pay $36,000 for tires, $250 for car Oil, and $400-20,000 for car parts. And they’ll be wondering why they’re still alive after crashing into a wall at 200mph.
I’d piss my pants if they drove in a X1. They’d die while turning! Lmao
Human Milk-shake
Wouldnt a human milkshake be a totally different kind of movie…
they would wonder why the trees are so flat.
Or why they need an oil change every 200 miles.
I’m a fan of GT and all, but this is dumber than my name.
No, your name is s2pid!! lol
what are you doing PD
WTF? The most unexpected news EVER! The only news that would have been MORE unexpected would have been to announce GT7 for PS4 as launch title. Or that they got Porsche and all premium cars in GT6.
don’t forget the sounds XD
Wow… I personally don’t think that this is a good idea for a movie, even though most of us are diehard GT fans. What’s next, “Air Conditioner – The Movie”?
No the next movie I heard is going to be “Freshly Painted Wall – The Trilogy”. Lol. I’m kidding this would be interesting to see how they could make a movie about GT. probably going to see a lot of very nice cars in this movie. :D
As long as it does not influences the game my reaction would be….meh.
For the love of all that is, PLEASE let this be a hoax. I dread to think of what Hollywood will do to shatter Need for Speed into pieces, Hot Wheels needs to stick to toys, and the Fast & Furious series has played itself out for me. If this happens, I’m immediately classifying it with Batman & Robin, Super Mario Bros., and Shazaam.
Actually, as a kid, I remember the Hot Wheels 3D animation movies to be quite good.
And has a huge GT fan, I pretty much have to watch it whether I like it or not. I predict it will be the second option.
Going by the standard of work these two have done in the past, I’m thinking it might actually be an “alright sorta” movie!
What’s your favorite car movie?
le Mans, Gran Prix, Gumball Rally, The Driver (O’Neal), Smokey and the Bandit, Hooper (Renolds), Death Race 2000, Death Race a couple of? Fast and Furious…
Anyone else?
Anyone interested in a Team Forza vs Team GT movie or event?
I save all online 1st of 3, 2nd of 6, 3rd of 9 and all full (16 cars) race replays as trophies. Lol, I ain’t that good but have just reached the 100 online win mark. Nice coincidence with the news.
fave movies ok: smokey and the bandit (the last one killed the whole thing) Bullit, Ronin, Italian Job the original version, all Dirty Harry movies, Taxi (french version way better, U.S. version sucked horribly) Nowi know some of these may no be car based but they had some of the best car chasing scenes that are worth watching. oh yeah, 007 too.
By far my favorite is any James Bond film. Especially those that feature the Aston Martin DB5. My mouth drools over that car and I really hope it’s in GT6. Gadgets optional but the car should be mandatory.
My favourite car movie? Initial D & Wagan Midnight. :3
I can see it being a hollywood style story telling the story of an academy winner going on to win the 24 hour Le Mans race… Or maybe we can expect something with the excitement of what we saw in the Rush trailer that focuses on the passion of racing.
Or as many have said maybe a documentary in the mold of Love the Beast or Truth in 24
If you havent seen either of those documentaries then please do, because if you didnt get the itch to play Gran Turismo before you see them you will when theyve finished
Wow, 70 comments already!? The haters are in full force too.
I love car movies… even the bad ones. If done right it won’t have those hyper clip scenes of 2 second flashes of steering wheel input and a suject car flashing by the screen shot.
Great car movies like Gran Prix and le Mans have good character development and their cars properly rivaled.
With what PD does with their intro movies, it could be a most beautiful film featuring vehicles most recognized by cars nuts like myself. I would love to be part of the production team on this project. Really looking forward to seeing what they do with it.
As long as it doesnt star Sylvester Stallone and resemble Driven XD
I hate the idea, but I want more exposure for my Gran-Turismo. I want it to break 20million sales on PS4.
You have got to be kidding me. Just when I thought the Need For Speed Movie was BS, this comes along (as well as a Hot Wheels Movie). Hollywood is just hellbent on destroying everything.
Hollywood can’t destroy anything. People would just ignore their movies.
Uhh… You missed April 1st by a good 3 and a half months, buddy…
But in all seriousness, how do you make a movie based on a game without a plot line…? GT doesn’t really HAVE one… Unless their doing something like a documentary (real or fake) of a GT Academy driver…
And isn’t Fifty Shades of Grey basically a porn novel for women…?
I’m actually a little interested in the HotWheels movie… There was an old series (Acceleracers) that had a compelling story but was discontinued, and replaced by a more childish cartoon. It’d be nice to see the story continued, for my childhood’s sake…
Hate to admit it, but that AcceleRacers stuff was good.
That G.I. Joe plot was pulled out of nowhere and 2 movies were made from it! They were NOT good movies by any stretch of the imagination, but they didn’t destroy the idea behind the original G.I. Joe! Give these guys a chance and let’s see what they come up with before we ‘poo poo’ the idea…
Yeah, QuikSlvr223, that and World Race/Highway 35 were the entirety of my childhood. This new BattleForce 5 stuff is just weird… And for some reason they took Vert from the original series and put him in…
Plot line……rivalry, drama etc. Sure there’s no story but you could easily make one.
It’s a Hollywood news site…do you really believe this? LoL
The movie is gonna be about one young GT gamer dude, who race real car in hope to get around a bunch of race tracks, while getting chased by an anti gaming group which consist of angry parents, videogame haters, and virtual to reality disbeliever.
Is it a documentary type of movie?
That would be cool. Something along the same line as “On Any Sunday.” Fantastic motorcycle movie that doesn’t need a BS plot of any kind. They could do the same with auto racing.
Did anyone think it could an action movie powered by GT6? Or perhaps an action movie about a novice car enthusiast who tries to enter the world of motorsport & is challenged by all the greats of each category such as Jimmie Johnson, Helio Castroneves Sebastian Loeb, & Sebastian Vettel, leading up to challenge The Grand Master Kaz? I’m hoping for option 2.
Well Kaz said that GT5 looks better than real life.
Expect standard cars and 2d trees.
And vacuum cleaners sounds.
P.S. “and the upcoming movie adaption of the best-selling book “Fifty Shades of Grey”.”
We’re doomed.
I saw this and immediately thought, “WTF?!” Definitely didn’t see this coming.
Lol, didn’t see that coming!
lolwut? This is even worse than the supposed Sims movie.
Why an action movie? Why not something like GT Academy? Gran Turismo’s never been about the action stuff. (Though an epic chase scene around the Nurb with a Michael-Bay-amount of explosions would be entertaining.
After reading most of these comments, I’ve got an idea. Maybe it’ll be a movie about GT Academy? Like maybe next year’s final event wont be episodes on TV but rather a movie on the big screen? If it isn’t that I don’t understand how it will be an action movie. There isn’t any action at all in any of the GT games unless you’re in a tight spot and make an epic move to win the race at the last moment. Atleast we get an Uncharted movie with a Gran Turismo movie, and on a side note a Need For Speed movie.
It will be delayed.
XDXDXDXDXXD
This.
Wonder what the budget will be…
I wonder how many GT-Rs will be in the “movie”
Too many, that’s how many
This makes less sense than most of the crap coming out of hollywood these days, and that is really saying something. I can’t imagine this being good for motion pictures, motorsport, or Polyphony Digital. Nothing AT ALL during my 15 years of playing this sterile racing simulator tells me that this would make for a good action film. Nothing.
I know the laws of the universe require me to radiate good vibes towards this project in hopes that it will somehow help the franchise, but damn. I’m not seein it. Another movie studio, OUT OF IDEAS. Do we really have to sit here and go over the long list of game franchises that actually had the substance to be a good film, and still turned out to be trash once these doucheblasters got ahold of it?
I was happy to hear Kaz mention the now-infamous “human drama” line, but not if it comes with the mark of the mind-melting, population-entraining, bohemian-groving, spell-casting sorcerers of Hollywood.
I highly doubt PD has anything to do with the movie. This is being put together by Sony, and will likely be worked on by Sony Pictures Imageworks.
yes, I agree with you on that. The ending result, though, does not look good for our favorite Sim-racing studio. Chances of this thing being a full-blown mockery are high.
Today the producers confirmed that Porsche will not be in the movie.
Let me guess, RUF will be in the movie instead.
Will be fully completed?? Or delay just before release. Will Jeff Gordan be in it??
At least…. At least use the “green hell” as the track. But still, out of those game with stories and characters (uncharted, twisted metal etc) they pick this ?? What is wrong with them ?. Next thing you know, they’re gonna make a Playstation movie.
I want Woody Allen to play Kaz.
2 hour movie will not do any justice for Gran Turismo, but will rather tarnish the series.
wut
Well, I hope the sounds in this movie don’t sound like vacuum cleaners.
Hopefully it will have a B-Spec option, where you dont actually have to watch the movie.
LOLOL
XD
Action movie ? What the hell man ?? Curse you Hollywood !!!
I would like to see the original gran turismo courses like Special Stage route’s and the others in action. Even though it might be a Gran turismo movie, i hope they don’t choose any cheese protagonists, Gran Turismo is a big tittle, i got a large feeling they could easily mess this up. For sure we will see tons of GT-R’s basically nissan’s and what if the whole movie just based in silverstone?
lolwut
Please don’t…
So it’s going to be a movie full of nissans and sony product placement hahaha. But seriously if they do this I think the plot should be about an average hard luck joe that starts to race in small crappy events and then finally getting a career in something lol
I don’t care as long as Gilbert Gottfried has a speaking part.
Really, I hope they don’t follow the wave like the GT community has.
Just as we all go to sit down to watch it, a disconnected from server message will appear;) lol
I wish they put a Nissan 370Z Nismo in it
Can’t wait to see the selection of paint chips that will be featured in the movie! ;D
It should be a horror movie based on the music from the Honda dealership in Gran Turismo 1. I’m sure a lot of you know what I’m talking about.
YES! You are absolutely right. Now I need to go pop that disc in one more time just to hear that track. What memories!
Jenkins better be in it.
I’m thinking Jason Statham, Dominic Purcell, Stana Katic, Damian Lewis and Robert de Niro as the main cast with Vin Diesel, Michelle Rodriguez, Tom Cruise, Nichole Kidman, Ryan Gosling and Sung Kang as supporting.
For any CGI cars, will they be premium models?
Well…Nissan, Nissan everywhere lol
its gonna be based off GT Academy or something
A movie!. what the hell, whats going to happen in it, and if they make it they better not mess it up.
Is there going to be standard cars in the movie? ; D
Lol!
LOOOOOOOOOOOOL
LOL
I wonder how good the engine sound is going to be??
LOOOOOOOOOOOOL this comment just killed me!
lol what? well I didn’t see this coming, would be about the life of generic bob?
The Nissan GTR is starring as Godzilla.
Legendary already scooped up the rights to that :lol:
Dude, this is GT we’re talking about. The GT-R will be the hero.
EA will be Godzilla, and the GT-R will defeat it, becoming friends with a Porsche.
It will probably be delayed a few years.
XD So it’s actually true!! I saw the link at the forum, but I still can’t put my mind into it.
It’ll probably be delayed a couple of times. :p
If there’s a Veyron in the movie, I hope they completely crush the blacks of the interior shots in post production
Summary:
You are the favorite, but you start from the back of the grid! You must find your way to the front (in only 3 laps, sorry) and dodge your way passed the AI that sticks to the racing line like glue (but unexpectedly brakes 50m too early). If you succeed……..you have to do it again, and then again, and only then, will be be deemed worthy to be the owner of a shiny new……Honda del Sol from 1992…..
You have a minor setback when you drive into a barrier at 200km/h, but fortunately you survive unharmed to be able to spend some remaining credits on a car wash
And the only damage suffered is a minor scrape to your right fender.
ok that was pretty good
Done.
You forgot – “You can only drive a Nissan Skyline with comfort medium tyres…”
50 Shades of Grey Paint Chips
yes:D fifty different types of GTR?
You saw that on the IGN comments didn’t you? Lol
I posted that on IGN comments :-P
If only there were only 50 shades of grey paint chips…!
That’s weird!
Well, that certainly was unexpected.
What, 15 years to soon for you?
what a load of bollocks!
=D why not make a motor storm movie that follows the brutal off road drama of the deadly races.. hm?!?!?!?!??!?!
That’s a movie I would pay good money to see!
Actually, I was surprised that a movie called “Pacific Rim” came out and was NOT about Motor Storm!
