    Sony Corporation

    Company »

    Since its 1946 founding, Sony has risen from an innovative Japanese electronics company to one of the leading mass media conglomerates around. Like its movie studio and music biz sister-corps, the SCEI divisions (and the PlayStation family) have been huge successes for Sony and its brand recognition worldwide.

    Rumour: Sony might be making a Gran Turismo movie?

    A report on The Wrap claims that Sony is looking to get the producers of Fifty Shades of Grey to put a Gran Turismo movie together.

    The story claims it's part of a move to cash in on the recent success of "fast car" movies like Fast & The Furious, but God, I hope not. As a series, Gran Turismo is about as opposed to that kind of car culture as it gets. It's about glossy car brochures and aspirations of driving an expensive luxury sports vehicle, not an obsession with gross paint schemes, action and drifting.

    You know, I just don't know what it would be about. Champagne, trees, burnt tires rumbling past cobblestone, Gary didn't get the B-License this year? Now what is he gonna do?

    I mean, they sure didn't choose to finish up that Uncharted movie, or Infamous any..

    That makes...no sense to me. Like any, ANY other Sony franchise makes more sense than this. Hopefully it just stays a rumor and they realize that just because it has fast cars doesn't mean it will make money. F&F is an animal of its own.

    I would laugh if it was just that movie but in the backs of really nice luxury sports cars.

    Unless it has Aaron Paul in it Need For Speed will be the best movie based on a racing game. Wow, what a prestigious honor that is.

    Shouldn't a game have some sort of character or personality in order to make a movie from it? GT is about as sterile as you can get

    Opponent drivers in the movie would have to be drivin on a streetcar track, cause you know... GT has no AI

    Speaking of video game movies, 90% of them never get made, still waiting on the halo movie, gears of war, metal gear solid, uncharted.....

    The WoW movie was announced years ago, never happened.

    Usually these projects get a director and producer and they just wait and see if they can get the money and support. If not, the film rights expire and revert back to their original owners, and the cycle repeats.

    Sony is really pushing some of their big IPs onto the big screen. First Ratchet and Clank and now possibly Gran Turismo? But man after reading that article, that Ratchet and Clank movie just got more attractive compared to this!

    But it is a rumor and I'm starting to doubt that this actually becomes a thing.

    They showed a teaser for it at Comic-Con a few days ago.

    The Gran Turismo movie is about finding the perfect spot to put a microphone to record the best car sounds.

    Fuck it, that could be awesome. I hope they go batshit arthouse with it and make it only tangentially about some philosopher-daredevil's quest for the fastest lap at Tsukuba or something, then make sure all of the driving sequences are shot at the highest cinematic quality framing only the very best of each vehicle as artistically as possible, Top Gear style.

    So one part Wangan Midnight, one part Top Gear and one part Le Mans and you've got a movie I would watch the living hell out of.

    I can think of other franchises Sony has that is more well suited to this task... but ok.
