The new Gran Turismo movie has begun filming and an image from the production has been released. PlayStation has been planning out a lot of cinematic adaptations of its biggest franchises. While some of the most likely candidates such as Uncharted and The Last of Us were prioritized, others like Gran Turismo have also popped up, much to the surprise of everyone. The racing series is not remotely story-driven and is more of a technical showcase. It pushes the graphical fidelity of the PlayStation hardware to the limits and is all about creating a very realistic racing simulator. To even suggest the idea of a story in a Gran Turismo game seems almost silly.

Filming is now underway on #GranTurismoMovie – based on the inspiring true story of a Gran Turismo player, Jann Mardenborough, who won a series of gaming competitions leading him to become an actual professional racecar driver. 🎬🏎 pic.twitter.com/gV13gEg2G5
