Gran Turismo is the next PlayStation prestige franchise to get the cinematic treatment. On Tuesday, Sony Pictures gave fans another look at what’s coming with a new trailer. Gran Turismo, directed by Neill Blomkamp (District 9) is based on the story of real-life driver Jann Mardenborough, a British professional racing driver whose 12-year career has taken him to the 24 Hours of Le Mans and Japan’s Super GT series. We're going to talk about his real life, and the tragic Nurburgring crash that haunts him.
Mardenborough’s career began in 2011 at the Gran Turismo Academy, a PlayStation 3 competition where he beat more than 90,000 entrants to win a seat with Nissan in the Dubai 24 Hour. Despite no serious real-life motorsports experience, Mardenborough placed third in his class at the endurance event.
So Gran Turismo will tell a classic, phenom-outta-nowhere sports story, albeit one who discovers his amazing talent thanks to a video game. So it’s somewhat like The Last Starfighter, except for cars and not Gunstars.
Archie Madekwe, Geri Halliwell Horner (aka Ginger Spice, and wife of Formula 1 Red Bull Racing team principal Christian Horner), Djimon Hounsou, David Harbour, and Orlando Bloom star. Gran Turismo will premiere in theaters August 11th.
