Like a lot of young adults, Jann seems more interested in playing videogames than with making something of his life, until he\u2019s given a chance to play for real. \u201cJann is playing \u2018Gran Turismo\u2019 in his parents\u2019 house when all of a sudden \u2013 after years \u2013 he sees the option for GT Academy,\u201d Blomkamp explains. \u201cOnly then did he learn how to drive proper cars \u2013 how to hit an apex and exit a corner \u2013 everything he\u2019d done intuitively inside the game, but had never been taught.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed aligncenter is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"GRAN TURISMO - Official Trailer\" width=\"680\" height=\"383\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/YmSxrljw6zY?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Video Credit: \u201cColumbia Pictures\u201d<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Watch the trailer here: <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/YmSxrljw6zY\">https:\/\/youtu.be\/YmSxrljw6zY<\/a>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Blomkamp\u2019s way into the film was through a longtime love of cars\u2014the merging of mechanics, engineering, art, and design\u2014and that meant the exciting possibility of showing what these cars can do. \u201cWith a movie like this one, sometimes the temptation is to go all-digital. Shoot some background plates, do digital cars, drop your actors in from a virtual production environment. But in this case, everything is real, and I mean literally <em>everything<\/em> is real. When we portray an actor driving the car, they are actually going around the track pretty close to the speed that they should be going.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Part of doing it for real was getting the real cars and shooting on the real tracks, including the Slovakia Ring in Slovakia, the Dubai Autodrome, the Nurburgring, the Red Bull Ring in Austria, and the Hungaroring; this latter track doubles for both the GT Academy (loosely based on Silverstone, the home of UK auto racing) and Le Mans.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And in the driver\u2019s seat, Blomkamp had one other secret weapon in showing what it was like for Jann Mardenborough behind the wheel \u2013 and that was Jann Mardenborough himself, who served as the film\u2019s stunt driver for the character of Jann. \u201cThe story is based on him, Archie Madekwe portrays him, and he\u2019s the stunt driver who drives Archie\u2019s car as the character based on him,\u201d says Blomkamp. \u201cIt\u2019s amazing \u2013 some very interesting meta thing happening there.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s so surreal,\u201d says Mardenborough. \u201cThe last time I was in Hungary, the track was packed with trucks for a race. This time, it was packed with trucks for a film being made about me. That blew my mind.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-default\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.teampcheng.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Gran-Turismo_Archie-Madekwe-Jann-Mardenborough.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"44094\" data-permalink=\"http:\/\/www.teampcheng.com\/blog\/entertainment\/movies-entertainment\/from-track-to-screen-director-neill-blomkamp-talks-about-making-gran-turismo-based-on-a-true-story\/attachment\/gran-turismo_archie-madekwe-jann-mardenborough\/#main\" data-orig-file=\"http:\/\/www.teampcheng.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Gran-Turismo_Archie-Madekwe-Jann-Mardenborough.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"1280,855\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Gran-Turismo_Archie-Madekwe-Jann-Mardenborough\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"http:\/\/www.teampcheng.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Gran-Turismo_Archie-Madekwe-Jann-Mardenborough-300x200.jpg\" data-large-file=\"http:\/\/www.teampcheng.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Gran-Turismo_Archie-Madekwe-Jann-Mardenborough-1024x684.jpg\" src=\"http:\/\/www.teampcheng.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Gran-Turismo_Archie-Madekwe-Jann-Mardenborough-1024x684.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-44094\" width=\"768\" height=\"513\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.teampcheng.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Gran-Turismo_Archie-Madekwe-Jann-Mardenborough-1024x684.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/www.teampcheng.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Gran-Turismo_Archie-Madekwe-Jann-Mardenborough-300x200.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.teampcheng.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Gran-Turismo_Archie-Madekwe-Jann-Mardenborough-768x513.jpg 768w, http:\/\/www.teampcheng.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Gran-Turismo_Archie-Madekwe-Jann-Mardenborough.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Photo Credit: \u201cColumbia Pictures\u201d<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Watch the inspiring true story of videogamer-turned-racecar driver Jann Mardenborough in <em>Gran Turismo: Based on a True Story<\/em>, opening in Philippine cinemas in August.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>About <em>Gran Turismo: Based on a True Story<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Based on the true story of Jann Mardenborough, the film is the ultimate wish fulfillment tale of a teenage <em>Gran Turismo<\/em> player whose gaming skills won a series of Nissan competitions to become an actual professional racecar driver.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Directed by Neill Blomkamp, screenplay by Jason Hall and Zach Baylin, based on the PLAYSTATION STUDIOS video game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Produced by Doug Belgrad, Asad Qizilbash, Carter Swan, Dana Brunetti.
