Wait it's just an ad for the next issue - and there's already been quite a bit of BTS footage of this?

As much as I HATED Chappie, I've missed Neil Blomkamp. Seems like a for hire gig, but whatever, I'll get excited for this. I actually liked the Need for Speed movie.

I wasn't aware these games had a story that could be adapted
I believe the story is very 'meta' and is about a gamer who gets so good at Gran Turismo, he becomes a professional racer

Gran Turismo tells the real-life story of gifted gamer Jann Mardenborough (Archie Madekwe), a northern English lad who made the transition from driving online to getting behind the wheel for real, when he was selected for GT Academy after showcasing his virtual steering skills.

I wasn't expecting Gran Turismo to receive a sci-fi horror movie adaptation /s.

Neill Blomkamp gives me significant pause, but hopefully this is either a great comeback from a bunch of stinkers or the final straw that will put his career in the ground.

I was in after seeing this sneak peak from earlier this year:

I'm… really interested in this and I couldn't tell you why if my life depended on it.

The funnest part of Gran Turismo to me is racing with slower everyday cars and slowly working your way up. I'm guessing this will only have normal racecars :(

Nothing against Gran Turismo but I'm so bummed that Neil Blomkamp is directing this instead of a Halo movie/show. And all we got is the Paramount show 😤

Anyway, interesting choice and has my attention
