Gran Turismo Video Game Gets The Movie Adaption

The Gran Turismo series is one of the most popular video game franchises of all time, with more than 85 million copies sold worldwide to date. The PS4-exclusive racer was a huge hit in its latest iteration, with franchise creator Kazunori Yamauchi attributing four million sales to the game’s seventh installment. In other words, it’s not surprising that Sony Pictures plans on releasing a Gran Turismo movie adaptation in 2020. John Haddock and Dana Belben are attached as screenwriters for the project and there is no word on who will be directing yet or what role Yamauchi’s involvement will be.

Should this film be made?

Yes, as it is a strong vehicle for introducing new audiences to the fascinating world of automobiles. At the same time, one must be aware that this is an adaptation of a video game, and that in itself will limit the film’s appeal to some. It should also be noted that Gran Turismo will not be an accurate representation of car racing because in actuality it’s less about who wins but who designs what and brings it to market first.

What PlayStation fans are thinking about it?

The PS4 is not the most popular console on the market, yet it is the one that has consistently sold well since its release. Gran Turismo franchise sales indicate that the PS4 can translate those sales into big-budget box office returns. Sony Pictures has yet to make any decision on whether or not a Gran Turismo movie should go forward. If this film does get made, it will be interesting to see how Sony translates its game universe into a movie world as it would be nearly impossible for it to be any more faithful than a video game adaptation in its source material would have been.

When is the movie coming out?

In this context, there are no details on the movie’s plot or who would be its focus. Kazunori Yamauchi has yet to even respond as to whether or not he has any plans of being involved with the film. So far, there is no indication that Gran Turismo will be a big-budget blockbuster. The Gran Turismo series is one of the most popular video game franchises of all time.

Why do people love watching its movie adaption?

Gran Turismo is a fascinating world that rarely gets outside of the video game. It’s not difficult to see why this would make a fantastic film because the Gran Turismo series is one of the most popular video games ever launched on a gaming system, with millions of copies ever sold worldwide. In the real world, there are countless car manufacturers and design firms that could be offered for protagonist cars. These companies besides being well-known for their vehicles could also have interesting stories to offer in the film. This could lead to some great plot points and introduce viewers to entirely new characters from all walks of life.
