New American action film shot in Hungary huge at cinemas – trailer
The Gran Turismo film, based on the car video game, has only been out for a few weeks. Nonetheless, it’s already enjoying overwhelming popularity. The production, starring Archie Madekwe, David Harbour and Orlando Bloom, was shot mostly in Hungary.
The film focuses on Jann, a racing enthusiast. He has everything he needs to be a champion: not the way you would first think, though. He is to be a champion at home, in the video game Gran Turismo (which is the title of the film). His gaming skills help him achieve the impossible and become a true professional racer, turizmus.com writes. The film features a number of race tracks, but keen viewers will be able to spot the Hungarian setting, as a large part of the production was shot in Hungary.
Almost all of the race scenes were filmed at the Hungaroring, in Mogyoród.
Unfortunately, however, the Hungaroring does not “star” as itself in the film, so it is not suitable for a country image, turizmus.com adds. The filmmakers have confirmed that the Hungarian circuit will be presented to the audience as the French Circuit de la Sarthe.
Most of the other scenes were shot in Budapest, but the Hungarian capital appears as Tokyo during the events.
In the Gran Turismo, you can also see the Buda Castle, the Chain Bridge, St. Stephen’s Basilica and the Heroes’ Square. Filming took place in November and December 2022. Other filming locations included Dubai and Spielberg in Austria, according to The Cinamaholic.
