Gran Turismo Movie's First Trailer Introduces Us To Its Wild True Story
The film pulls into cinemas August 11
If you haven't heard of him before, this film will introduce you to the real world story of professional British racing driver Jann Mardenborough. The film will follow Mardenborough from when he first took part in the Gran Turismo Academy in 2011, a competition that saw him beat 90,000 contestants to take part in Dubai 24 Hour with Nissan. Of course, Mardenborough didn't actually have any real-world experience, but even still he managed to place third in his class during the endurance event.
The film stars Archie Madekwe (Midsommar) as Mardenborough, David Harbour (Stranger Things) as his trainer Jack Salter, Orlando Bloom (The Lord of the Rings) as Danny Moore--who's based on GT Academy Founder Darren Cox--Djimon Housou (Shazam) as Mardenborough's father Steve Mardenborough, and former member of the Spice Girls Geri Halliwell as Mardenborough's mother.
Gran Turismo is releasing in theaters August 11.
