'Gran Turismo' movie plot details emerge, gets release date

The "Gran Turismo" video game franchise is getting a live-action project for the big screen. However, rather than a variety of race cars gathering in the shadow of Trial Mountain for a big showdown, new details reveal a much more meta plot line.

According to Deadline, it's as follows: Based on a true story, the film is the ultimate wish fulfillment tale of a teenage "Gran Turismo" player whose gaming skills won a series of Nissan competitions to become an actual professional race car driver.

It appears that the film will be about playing "Gran Turismo" the game instead of concocting a plot from the in-game universe, as Sony's PlayStation Productions titles like "Uncharted" have done. Back in 2013, another attempt at a "Gran Turismo" movie had a story based on the rise of Lucas Ordóñez.
