Today, in the video game movie landscape, PlayStation Productions is slated to make a movie after the Gran Turismo series of racing games. Gran Turismo was originally released in 1997 on the PlayStation, and since then, the series has pushed nearly 86 million units for Sony, with the series’ latest venture released two months ago. The last time they did this was with this year’s Uncharted, starring Tom Holland as series protagonist Nathan Drake. That movie was a case of it being critically underwhelming but audiences liked it a lot. The movie launched in its opening weekend with $44 million earned, ending at around $400.8 worldwide. Back to the Gran Turismo project. It’s still in very early development, and the only really concrete detail that we know (aside from it existing) is that Neill Blomkamp is currently being eyed to direct the upcoming project, according to Deadline. Neill Blomkamp is known for movies such as District 9, which did very well with critics and audiences alike.
