WATCHMEN Screenwriter Taking on GRAN TURISMO Movie
Via: THR
Watchmen screenwriter Alex Tse has been hired by Sony Pictures to write the script for their feature film adaptation of the video game franchise Gran Turismo.
With Need For Speed coming out soon, and a Hot Wheels movie, and Fast and Furious 7 in production, it was only a matter of time before Gran Turismo started making its way to the big screen. I've enjoyed playing Gran Turismo over the years, and it will be interesting to see what kind of story then come up with.
As of right now there is no information on what Tse’s take on a potential plot will be. We do know that it will revolve around some very slick-looking fast cars racing each other though.
Tse not only worked on Watchmen, but he also worked on the remake of The Crow and the live action adaptation of the anime Ninja Scroll. He's currently writing the remake of Highlander for Summit Entertainment.
Michael De Luca, Kevin Spacey, and Dana Brunetti, who recently teamed for Captain Phillips, are producing the project. Hopefully they can turn the franchise into a really cool and entertaining movie!
