If You Like Racing Movies Like' Gran Turismo’ You Should Add These To Your TBR
If you’ve been an avid gamer and have been attached to your Sony Playstation for years, Gran Turismo has been your favourite racing game to play. Even before Forza came out, there was no competition for GT. Many people didn’t know that the film was based on a true story about race car driver Jann Mardenbororugh’s rise from gamer to professional racer.
Sony made a bold choice in changing the mould of the video game adaptation to incorporate a true story for the racing game to come to life.

When sci-fi and comedy come together it’s almost always a good time. Even though the concepts may be far-fetched, creativity is what makes it worth the watch. It’s interesting to see the concepts come alive on screen. Audiences imagine things that writers create and then filmmakers push that boundary.
Maude Garrett has read Landscape with Invisible Hand by M.T. Anderson and it’s a young adult sci-fi novel that will capture the hearts of many. Now that it has been adapted for the big screen, many are able to turn to the book for more imagination and creativity.
