A new trailer for Gran Turismo signals that gamers are no longer a punchline
looks, at first glance, like a fairly workaday coming-of-age tale. A kid who nobody thinks can drive a race car manages to drive a race car. He comes from nowhere to become somebody. There are ups, there are downs. There are clunky expository chats around the kitchen table.
“You really think you’re going to take a kid who plays video games in their bedroom, you’re going to strap them to a 200mph rocket? It’ll tear him to pieces,” David Harbour’s Jack Salter tells Orlando Bloom’s marketing exec and gaming optimist Danny Moore. Salter is your curmudgeonly, sage figure who’s been round the track too many times to entertain the idea of gamers getting on the grid. He got where he got to with grease on his hands and Castrol GTX in his veins.

Maybe Jack will soften to the point of telling Jann the real reason he’s training these young grunts rather than racing himself. Maybe it’s tragic. Maybe he just preferredBut still, it feels important. Once, movies thought gamers were something to be feared.
So they’re either sadsacks or they’re deviants bent on destroying things, or as in the case of 2009 action flick, they’re utter sadists.

It is a film which wags its finger at you very, very sternly.makes clear that Boris is a cackling smartarse hacker when he builds his own animated mini puzzles into his creepy little passwords.
