Do You Know The Gran Turismo Plot?
Sony’s planned Gran Turismo is a biographical sports film. The video game-based film is focused on drive and race and does not have any to-the-point story. But Jann Mardenborough’s story could be seen, which is cleverly used by Sony Pictures.
“Based on the true story of Jann Mardenborough, 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.”
So the story you can receive is a real-life story of Mardenborough not only covering his diver career but covering all his personal life. In the Gran Turismo Academy competition, defeating 90,000 contestants Mardenborough placed himself in third position and become the youngest champion.

How did Neil Get inspiration to Make Gran Turismo?
During a Q&A session with Neil Blomkamp, he shares how he gets inspiration to adapt to such a different genre of film. “Well, it really came down to creating something that would just be cool to watch on a large cinema screen, and for that, we doubled down on FPV drones to carry IMAX sensor-approved cameras,” Blomkamp said.
“There’s a ton of airborne, high-speed drone work in the film, and we utilized a pursuit-arm mounted to a high-speed vehicle. In this case, we actually mounted it to an R35 GTR, which could actually keep pace (pretty much) with a lot of the GT3 cars in the film.”
“So between that car and the drone work, you already have some cool dynamic angles,” Blomkamp continues. “But, I was also obsessed with recreating camera angles players know from the game: so, for the third-person chase perspective, we built an R1 rig that could position a camera such that the entire car would fit within the frame.”
