Does the Gran Turismo movie count as a "video game" movie? I haven't watched it but I know the general plot and that Gran Turismo is essentially a driving sim with no storyline (most recent one I played was GT4).
I think of it like if there was a movie about an avid Flight Simulator player has to land a passenger jet after both pilots are incapacitated, I wouldn't consider it a video game movie. Maybe that's how they remake Airplane! though.
It's based on a true story. They auditioned the top GT players to see if anyone could actually drive in a race. One guy made it.
Right. I mean that it doesn't take place in the "universe" of Gran Turismo. Which is the criteria I think I would use to consider it a "video game movie".
I mean, the universe is racecars on real tracks...
