Gran Turismo is an upcoming American sports film directed by Neill Blomkamp from a screenplay by Jason Hall and Zach Baylin. Produced by Columbia Pictures, PlayStation Productions, Trigger Street Productions and 2.0 Entertainment, the film is based on the video game series of the same name developed by Polyphony Digital. The film will star Archie Madekwe as a teenage Gran Turismo player aspiring to be a race car driver. It also stars David Harbour, Darren Barnet, Thomas Kretschmann, Djimon Hounsou, Orlando Bloom and Geri Halliwell.[1]

Development of a film based on Gran Turismo began in 2013, with Michael De Luca and Dana Brunetti, with a script by Alex Tse. In 2015, Joseph Kosinski was set to direct the film, and Jon and Erich Hoeber would write a new screenplay. By 2018, the Kosinski version was no longer moving forward. In May 2022, a new iteration of the Gran Turismo film started development, with Blomkamp eyed to direct. The main cast were confirmed in September, while other cast additions were signed in November. Filming began in November 2022 in Hungary, and is expected to wrap in December.

Gran Turismo is set to be released on August 11, 2023 by Sony Pictures Releasing.
