Title: GT on the big screen?
Post by: TheHotstepper on July 24, 2013, 03:39:30 PM
Apparently ( http://www.ign.com/articles/2013/07/24/gran-turismo-movie-in-development (http://www.ign.com/articles/2013/07/24/gran-turismo-movie-in-development) ) Sony has greenlit a Gran Turismo movie... ???

There's a lot of details still to be uncovered, but right now, I don't see this working too well. Video Game > Movie adaptations have worked so wonderfully in the past  :D

I like the quote at the end of the article: 

"Of course, whether De Luca and Brunetti will inject some erotic romance into the picture remains to be seen".

Wouldn't that be called "AUTO EROTICA"?  (http://i.imgur.com/LmjyBgx.gif)

someone at the deathstar commented that it might be subtitled "50 Shades of MX-5"

there's quite a funny discussion going on  here. (http://www.community.us.playstation.com/t5/Gran-Turismo-Series-General/GT6-News-Media-and-Comments/m-p/41089701#M636184)

I can't think of anything good coming from this, except learning through experience.

GT-TV was such a success that they had to do a movie?  ::)

ideally, they could prove that a game-based movie doesn't have to royally suck.

realistically, it will suck, and bring more kiddies to the open lobbies... yay   :o

Thus bringing more youngins that don't have any clue WTF a furry is to my rooms. *Facepaw* You guys i'm fine with because i can educate without any stupid comments but those little kids make me want to do some death rolls. :p

Lesson: Little runts are bad for online gaming. Even my boyfriend knows this from first hand... or paw experience... whatever Lombaxes have.

How can this translate to the big screen?  You need characters.  We dontz have many characters.  Simon Vettel and the NASCAR dude is about it.

Unless...  (Guess I will save that thought till I have a lobby open and we can have a coffee talk.  Unless I get too verklempt.)

Ooh, I had another idea what it could be about.. it could end up being a Tron style movie!

Robert B. Speck was messing with some kind of virtual reality cockpit for the latest Gran Turismo game when he somehow digitizes himself and gets drawn into a virtual world!  Finding himself stuck in a lounge with an assortment of AI drivers waiting to race he discoveries the only way he can escape is to become a champion virtual car driver.

Nicknamed B-Spec Bob by the other AI our hero must race through various events in order to beat a mysterious "Player" and secure a ride back to reality, lest he become trapped in an endless cycle of Sunday Cup races at the wheel of a Nissan Leaf!

 :lolz

In the final race our hero keeps getting really sleepy and falling asleep at the wheel.  Things look really bleak until his girlfriend finds his virtual cockpit, picks up the controller and starts pressing "go faster" to wake him up.  He make a last second pass at the finish line saving him from certain doom.  But that's not it.  When he gets back to the real world, mysteriously a Nissan Leaf appears in his driveway and everyone lives happily ever after.  Just kidding, after the credits you see that he was not the only one to get back into the real world.  Thousands of GT AI drivers made it as well.  The movie ends with a scene of these drivers going 70kph in 100kph zones completely slowing down traffic and causing utter mahem.

I figure it will be something like this....

Canon Ball Run 1 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wFB6FfaNQ40#ws)



... except without the comedy, cool characters, hot women, and the sorta based on real life story. Oh, and it will only have Nissans.    It will be a classic. I'm sure I'll get the dvd, bluray and 3D bluray for my movie collection. :-\

I was going to say how I agreed with everyone and how retarded a concept for a movie this is, ESPECIALLY since GT carries no actual story line as far as games, video or otherwise go...

Then I remember they made battleship, so I'm not surprised.

At least since GT doesn't have a story, they can't get it completely wrong like they did with other movies like Max Payne.

Apparently, the movie is still in the works. I didn't even hear the word "soon", though.  :D
