Neill Blomkamp Targeted Sony Pictures For Film Adaptation Gran Turismo

After the success of Uncharted, Sony Pictures and PlayStation Productions will partner again for a film adaptation of the popular racing game Gran Turismo. However, because this film project is still in the early stages of development, so little is known about the plot or whether it will be animated or live-action. And now a report from Deadline reveals that Sony is eyeing Neill Blomkamp to direct the film.



Neill Blomkamp himself is a filmmaker who is best known for his science fiction action films such as District 9 and Elysium. He also spent several years developing the live-action film HALO, but internal politics between Universal, Fox Studios, and Microsoft derailed production of the film. After several other failed projects, including Alien 5 and the sequel to Robocop Legacy, Blomkamp stated that he would no longer be working on big-budget films and would focus on short films.

You can check out Blomkamp's short film HALO on YouTube to get a better idea of ​​his work.

While Gran Turismo is a racing simulation game created by Kazunori Yamauchi of Polyphony Digital in 1997. It is one of the best-selling video game franchises ever, having sold more than 85 million copies worldwide. In Yamauchi's own words, the game is described as:

“Gran Turismo is an integrated simulator for enjoying life by car. This is a place where players can freely find their own experience. Various features, engines and systems will support this behind, along with a large amount of content, players will be set to enjoy their adventures with the car."

The first Gran Turismo game took five years to complete and was released in 1997 and went on to become known as one of the best driving simulator games of all time. This game franchise is very popular mainly because of its attention to detail and authentic representation of vehicles.
