Gran Turismo, the popular and critically acclaimed series of racing simulation video games developed by Polyphony Digital, is set to make it to the big screen. Sony Pictures is indeed developing a live-action movie based on the game franchise. Producers Mike De Luca and Dana Brunetti (who are producing the upcoming movie adaptation of Fifty Shades of Grey) are attached to the project.

Here’s the trailer for the latest installment in the video games series (it will reach stores this Holiday season):

GRAN TURISMO 6 – Trailer of the video game

Aside from the racing part, the game doesn’t have any real backstory. So they better find a good scriptwriter to build an interesting plot! But maybe you have a suggestion regarding the plot? Share your thoughts below!

By the way, which movie adaptation are you the most impatient to see: Need for Speed or Gran Turismo?

Anyway stay tuned with us for more details about the Gran Turismo movie!

Actor Kellan Lutz, who played the role of the vampire Emmett Cullen in the
Twilight movie franchise, is joining the cast of The Expendables 3.

The Expendables 3 Movie Trailer

According to The Wrap, Kellan Lutz would play the leader of a group of “young tech-savvy action heroes”. His group would be at odds with Stallone’s group, though they would eventually team up to save the day.

The actor kind of reminds me of Dolph Lundgren. Anyway, do you welcome the new addition to the cast?

The film is directed by Australian filmmaker Patrick Hughes. It will hit theaters on August 15, 2014.

Caesar is an evil monkey, he’s sporting the red line of the devil on his simian face! LoL!

Thanks to The Hollywood Reporter here’s a first official look at Solace, the upcoming mystery thriller movie directed by Afonso Poyart and starring Anthony Hopkins, Colin Farrell, Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Abbie Cornish, and Sharon Lawrence:

He is drawn into a serial killer case only to find that the killer (Colin Farrell) also is a psychic, leading to a showdown between the two who can detect each other’s every move.”

Sounds like a really interesting plot! Impatient to see how the whole thing will turn out!

A few words from the director about the film:

“This film has the perfect balance of structure, story and strong characters. I was particularly attracted to the opportunity to explore the cinematic potential of the script and to step into the mind’s eye of someone with psychic abilities, played by Anthony Hopkins, and visualize what he sees. Working with Tony, Jeff, Abbie and Colin has been a dream, and I couldn’t ask for a better crew to bring it all together.”

Director Afonso Poyart
