Sony has set the release for the Gran Turismo movie for August 11, 2023, according to Deadline.
The movie based on the popular racing video game series is being created by Neill Blomkamp and Sony's Columbia Pictures.
Jason Hall, who wrote American Sniper and Thank You for Your Service, has written the screenplay. PlayStation Productions' Asad Qizilbash and Carter Swan will be producers on the film.
"Based on a true story, the film is the ultimate wish fulfillment tale of a teenage Gran Turismo player whose gaming skills won a series of Nissan competitions to become an actual professional race car driver," reads the logline on the film.
Gran Turismo 7, the most recent entry in the long running video game series, released for the PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4 in March of this year.

They've announced the release date 14 months ahead?
It's common in the film industry. Disney has already listed the dates for Avatar 3, 4 and 5.
That's incredibly stupid.
Not really. There are only a limited number of prime weekend dates for films to open on each year. Studios like to claim them far ahead to stave off competition. Everyone in the industry closely follows these release dates in planning their own schedule. It also gives a road map for the promotion and ad campaign. Also it's easier and less costly to move a release date that is far out rather than a close by one.
I suppose that makes sense
Story is close to what myself and some others expected and commented on the thread.
