I'm not sure how many variations of "it's harder in real life, huh, kid?" they need in the trailer, but here we are.
The Gran Turismo movie is out August 11 if that's you bag. What d'ya think?

Big "This isn't your dad's Pac-Man!" energy coming off of that trailer.
I think the trailer itself is pretty annoying, but I quite like the approach they've taken with the film, even if it does ultimately end up reading like an ad for the game. I'm expecting a solid 7/10 film.
Until video game companies loosen the reigns on their big IP we're subjected to receiving saccharine shite like this. Small kudos to them for not just anthropomorphising whatever supercar looks most like Charlie Day, but this story in the hands of Playstation Productions seems a total waste.
Maybe they could have set it in the actual time-period that it happened, maybe they could have been more hands-off with the abrupt Playstation / Nissan advertising, maybe they could have got someone who can actually direct at the helm, maybe they could have watched Whiplash a few times and take from that, maybe they could have made the promotional material look less like 2020 Sonic. All these maybes, without them maybe it wouldn't go down in history as "aw yeah, remember they made a Gran Turismo film". Maybe.
Sorry I'm an old, damp fart. All video game adaptions have been poor, even The Last of Us (sorry). Werewolves Within is the best of a bad bunch but who really gives a fuck about Ubisoft's Werewolves Within.
I don't understand. How can it be a car movie if there isn't Vin Diesel?
Also, what's with that police siren?
This is very similar to the first trailer...
