How Gran Turismo Is Adapting Its True Story
gives viewers a more comprehensive glimpse into the forthcoming racing adaptation, delving into the captivating tale of aspiring gamer Jann Mardenborough's quest to establish a reputable presence within the world of competitive racing. Highlighted in the Gran Turismo trailer is Mardenborough's gut-wrenching crash, which not only caused him physical harm but also propelled him towards a journey of redemption within the realm of this exhilarating sport.
In contrast to most other video game adaptations, the creators of the Gran Turismo movie encountered the challenge of translating a source material that lacked a compelling story onto the screen. Instead of attempting to develop an original narrative like the poorly received Need for Speed movie, writers Jason Hall, Zach Baylin, and Alex Tse drew inspiration from the games' real-world impact, specifically through the GT Academy. While gamers enthusiastically embraced this opportunity, the racing community reacted with resistance, as they believed it undermined the importance of their training.
The Gran Turismo trailers have embraced the underdog tale of Mardenborough, resembling Sylvester Stallone's Rocky as the gaming-obsessed teenager strives to establish himself in the sport despite numerous obstacles. The relationship between Mardenborough and Harbour's trainer Jack Salter even brings to mind Burt Young's Paulie, but the latest trailer delves deeper into the character's inner strength as he recognizes the potential within the young Mardenborough.
A particularly captivating revelation in the new Gran Turismo trailer is the disastrous crash Mardenborough endures during a race. In 2015, at the Nürburgring's Nordschleife circuit, the British racer was involved in a horrifying accident that resulted in the loss of a spectator's life and the hospitalization of others. Mardenborough sustained minor injuries after his vehicle became airborne and cleared the fence. Although it remains uncertain if the crash depicted in the new trailer is based on the 2015 incident, including it would demonstrate the film's commitment to an authentic and unfiltered adaptation of the true story.
