Orlando Bloom is ready to ride with the cast of Sony and PlayStation’s film adaptation of the video game “Gran Turismo,” consisting of David Harbour and Archie Madekwe.
Neill Blomkamp (“District 9”) is set to direct from a screenplay by Jason Hall and Zach Baylan.
According to an official description, the film is based on a true story of a teenage Gran Turismo player whose gaming skills won a series of Nissan competitions to become an actual professional race car driver.
In 1997, Polyphony and creator Kazunori Yamauchi launched the first game in the Gran Turismo franchise, which is considered the most authentic driving simulator within the racing game genre due to its advanced graphics, physics technology and attention to detail. By
