After David Harbour (“Stranger Things”) and Archie Madekwe, “The Elf Prince” Orlando Bloom will join the live-action film adaptation of Sony’s “GT Racing” game, according to an exclusive THR report. The Gran Turismo game adaptation is based on a true story from a screenplay written by Jason Hall (“American Sniper”) and Zach Baylin (“King Richard”).
The project is described as the ultimate wish of a teenage Gran Turismo gamer whose gaming skills have allowed him to win a series of Nissan races and become a true professional racing driver.
Madekwe will play the teen and David Harbour will play the retired driver, teaching the teen how to drive.
