In just over three months, Gran Turismo movie will be in theaters. like a long time Gran Turismo fans, my expectations are in the basement. Movies about racing are very popular Miss. Movies based on video games, maybe more. But out of all the game franchises that can make for good cinema, Gran Turismo won’t land on the favorable end of my list, because Gran Turismo is a game about doing something in real life that you can directly make a movie about it.
