Gran Turismo

Gran Turismo is a racing game designed by Kazunori Yamauchi and is the first entry in the critically acclaimed simulator racing series bearing the same name. After five years of development time, it was well-received publicly and critically, shipping a total of 10.85 million copies worldwide as of March 2013, making it the best-selling PlayStation game. The game uses two different modes: Arcade Mode and Gran Turismo Mode. In the arcade mode, the player can freely choose the courses and vehicles they wish to use. Winning races unlocks additional cars and courses. However, Gran Turismo Mode requires the player to earn different levels of driver's licenses in order to qualify for events, and earn credits, trophies and prize cars by winning race championships. Gran Turismo features 140 cars and 11 race tracks (as well as their reversed versions).

Gran Turismo series abandoned for a movie with Neill Blomkamp (District 9, Chappie)?

Sony Pictures and PlayStation Productions are said to be working on a Gran Turismo movie that could be directed by the director of District 9. As for the GT TV series, it would not be planned after all.

Just last Friday, PlayStation announced Horizon Zero Dawn and God of War series . But obviously, a Gran Turismo television show would also be in the cards... or not!

A Gran Turismo film soon in the cinema?

The very serious Deadline site cuts short information circulating on the Gran Turismo series. According to their information, Sony Pictures and PlayStation Productions would rather be on a film project. This would only be at an embryonic stage, but it would still have directorial potential. Who exactly? Sony would have sights on Neill Blomkamp, ​​the director of several SF feature films like District 9 or Chappie. He had also produced an interesting series of short films under the banner of Oats Studios.

Neill Blomkamp is no stranger to the world of video games at all. He notably staged a live-action trailer for the disappointing Anthem . In his corner, he is even preparing a cyberpunk battle royale under Unreal Engine 5.

Where is the GT TV series?

For Deadline, there would be no Gran Turismo television series .

The film's plot is being kept under wraps, but this news comes amid rumors that a TV series adaptation of the game is also in the works for a streaming service. These rumors are not accurate according to our information .

Why use the term rumor when the information comes directly from PlayStation? Apparently there was an imbroglio. Here is the statement from Tony Vinciquerra, CEO of Sony Pictures Entertainment:

We have about ten projects in production, including a The Last of Us series with HBO that we are very excited about. We have Horizon TV shows on Netflix, God of War on Amazon Prime Video , and Twisted Metal on Peacock TV . And we're also working on a game called Gran Turismo.

The confusion may have come from the fact that Vinciquerra talked about the signed PlayStation series, then just after GT. So far, Deadline's scoops have always held true.
