While everyone is buzzing about the releases of “Barbie” and “Oppenheimer,” both hitting theaters since July 19, 2023, August promises another exciting addition to the cinematic lineup. Get ready for “Gran Turismo,” the film based on the beloved video game that tells the incredible story of the GT Academy. This competition, organized by Sony and Nissan, aimed to turn top Gran Turismo (PS3 era) players into real-life racing champions. The movie follows Jann Mardenborough’s inspiring journey as he defies expectations and reaches the prestigious 24 Hours of Le Mans, where he earns a podium finish! The latest trailer gives us a tantalizing preview of what’s to come, with Archie Madekwe stepping into the shoes of the British driver. Joining him is an all-star cast including David Harbour (“Stranger Things,” “Hellboy,” “Black Widow”), Orlando Bloom (“Lord of the Rings,” “The Hobbit,” “Pirates of the Caribbean”), Djimon Hounsou (“Amistad,” “Gladiator,” “Captain Marvel,” “Guardians of the Galaxy”), and Geri Halliwell, yes—the Spice Girl—who is now married to Christian Horner. Christian, a former driver himself, is now a racing team manager for big names like Mercedes and Red Bull.
