Sony continues to mine its many video game properties for screen adaptations, and CinemaCon attendees Monday night were treated at a look at the first trailer for the next one: Gran Turismo.
Stars Orlando Bloom and David Harbour were on hand during Sony’s presentation of its upcoming movie slate, with Harbour joking that he didn’t really understand what the Gran Turismo movie was at first: how do you make a movie out of a racing game with no story? “It’s a racing simulator!” Harbour said he complained to director Neill Blomkamp.
Of course, the movie tells the true story of a teenaged Gran Turismo player who successfully managed to make the leap from gamer to real-life professional racer–it’s a bit different from your standard video game movie adaptation.
