Movies based on video games don’t have the best track record. For every decent adaptation, there’s a handful of facepalm-worthy releases that leave a sour taste in your mouth.
Naturally, we were excited when we learned that Gran Turismo was getting a feature film. And while we’re cautiously optimistic, we can’t help but get out hopes up further after seeing the exclusive sneak peek Sony Pictures Entertainment just released.

The minute-long clip shows off behind-the-scenes footage of the Gran Turismo film’s production. We’re also treated to some intense shots of Nissan GT-Rs duking it out on the track, as well as Hollywood heavyweights David Harbour and Orlando Bloom showing off in some cool Nismo gear.
The Gran Turismo movie is based on the true story of Nissan GT Academy winner Jann Mardenborough and his rise to professional racing. It’s directed by Neil Blomkamp and is slated to hit theaters in August 2023.
So, is this a release you're looking forward to, or do you think it will continue the trend of video game film stinkers?
