Just a few weeks after Gran Turismo's 25th anniversary, Sony shared more wonderful news for its fans at CES in Las Vegas.
A first trailer for the eagerly anticipated cinematic adaptation of the well-known racing game has finally been released, merging sequences from the main narrative with behind-the-scenes material.
The narrative recounts the ascent of a real-life driver who was discovered through the Sony and Polyphony Digital-created virtual competition known as the GT Academy.
The biography of Jann Mardenborough, from his origins on the gaming console to his hiring by Nissan as a vehicle manufacturer, will be intriguing to learn on the big screen.
Archie Madekwe, an actor who can be seen on Apple TV+, will portray the pilot. David Harbour will play the veteran coach (Stranger Things).
Orlando Bloom, who plays a marketing executive, and Darren Barnet, who plays Mardenborough's opponent, will also add to the cast.
The very skilled Neill Blomkamp (District 9, Elysium) will be in charge of the direction.
The seriousness of recent Sony adaptations, like Uncharted in theaters or The Last of Us on HBO, augurs well for the company's future.
Big PlayStation VR2 news from today’s CES keynote:
— PlayStation (@PlayStation) January 5, 2023

However, as is customary during CES, Sony did not forget to advertise its PS VR2 virtual reality headset for the PlayStation 5.
With a statement that is both powerful and clear:
The game will be updated to include support for the item as soon as Gran Turismo 7 is released.
An excellent defense for Sony's headgear, which has not previously had access to racing games.
What the patch will offer—a straightforward fixed cockpit vision or the option to turn the head, a crucial contribution to this exercise—remains to be seen.
The only drawback to this potential is that people who are most susceptible to motion sickness will experience cyberkinetosis symptoms that are amplified.
With the introduction of PS VR2 on February 22, the solution will be revealed.
