Sohu Entertainment News – The highly anticipated racing action film, “Gran Turismo: Extreme Speed”, a collaboration between Columbia Pictures and Sony PlayStation, has been officially confirmed and is scheduled to hit theaters in mainland China on August 11. Based on a true inspirational story, the movie follows the journey of Jann Maddenborough, a young gamer from an ordinary background who strives to become a professional racer. Directed by Neil Blomkamp (“Ninth District”) and featuring renowned actors Orlando Bloom (“Lord of the Rings” series) and David Harbour (“Hellboy: Blood Queen”), as well as emerging talents Archie Madeki and Djimon Hounsou, “Gran Turismo: Extreme Speed” promises an adrenaline-fueled “global carnival” experience in North America.
The film is adapted from the real-life story of British racing driver Jann Maddenborough and highlights the Nissan team’s GT academy, which identifies talented drivers from around the world and helps them pursue their dreams of becoming professional racers. Maddenborough, hailing from a humble family background, passionately chases his dream. Through rigorous selection, he transitions from a gaming prodigy to a professional racing driver, challenging the perception that racing is exclusively for the affluent and rewriting the rules of motorsports entry. This unprecedented journey represents a Jedi-like counterattack by a determined underdog.
The trailer features a compelling scene where coach Jack Suttle (played by David Harbour) questions the ability of a young gamer, who only knows how to race in a virtual bedroom, to navigate a rocket at 320 kilometers per hour. Suttle’s skepticism amplifies the anticipation of audiences. With the thunderous roar of engines and cars pushed to their limits, viewers will experience an unparalleled adrenaline rush, witnessing awe-inspiring moments that teeter on the brink of life and death.
“GT Racing: Extreme Speed” stands out as the sole hot-blooded racing action masterpiece of the summer, generating immense excitement among movie enthusiasts. The high-speed races, electrifying duels, and an array of luxurious racing cars promise to captivate audiences. With real-life track shooting at nine top global racetracks, the film brings the purest essence of racing to the big screen. In the world of gaming, a missed lane can be easily restarted, but racing on a real track means a small mistake could result in disastrous consequences. However, with years of accumulated racing game experience, Maddenborough (played by Archie Madeki) exudes confidence, proclaiming, “I have raced on this track countless times, and I want to drive in my own way!”
Directed by Neil Blomkamp and featuring an all-star cast, including Orlando Bloom and David Harbour, alongside breakout talent Archie Madeki, “Gran Turismo: Extreme Speed” is a production of Columbia Pictures and Sony PlayStation.
