GRAN TURISMO Coming to the Big Screen!
Sony Pictures is looking to bring PlayStation's popular racecar franchise Gran Turismo to the big screen, and they've brought on Fifty Shades of Grey producers Mike De Luca and Dana Brunetti to produce it!
The Fast and the Furious film has made making racecar movies quite popular these days. On top of that, Universal Pictures franchise DreamWorks is developing a Need for Speed movie, and Legendary Pictures is making one for Hot Wheels. Sony is obviously looking to jump on the race car movie bandwagon so they can capitalize on it. Hopefully they can deliver a solidly awesome product.
I've always enjoyed playing the Gran Turismo games, but there's no real story to build a movie on, just racing cars. It will be interesting to see what they come up with to make this different from the rest. No matter what the do though, they have a very big popular brand name that people will recognize and want to see.
Are you excited to hear that Gran Turismo is being turned into a movie?
