Directed by 'District 9's' Neill Blomkamp, this uplift delivery device — also very much a Nissan commercial — co-stars David Harbour and Orlando Bloom.
’s video-game adaptation “Gran Turismo” mimics that of a race car itself: shiny, colorful, chrome. There’s a real surface appeal to this movie, which is based on the remarkable true story of Jann Mardenborough, an English gamer and fan of the “Gran Turismo” driving simulator , who won a Nissan-sponsored driving academy and has since gone on to become a successful race-car driver himself — on real tracks, not virtual ones.
Danny flashes a sharky grin at Nissan execs while describing the gamers in whom “Gran Turismo” has “ignited a passion for driving.” He cooks up the scheme for the gamer-to-racer driving academy, and though winning is winning, he still wants the most camera-ready driver behind the wheel of the first Nissan Motorsports vehicle, even if he isn’t quite ready for the track.
