Star Archie Madekwe & Jann Mardenborough discuss what it's like inside the cars, the stunning visuals, & how Madekwe prepared for the role.
The Big Picture With a story that sounds too incredible to be true, Neill Blomkamp’s Gran Turismo is racing its way to theaters to share the true story of gamer-turned-racer Jann Mardenborough, portrayed in the film by Archie Madekwe . Before SAG joined the writers’ strike this summer, Collider’s Steve Weintraub spoke with both Mardenborough and Madekwe about their preparation and what it was like to be on set. Apparently, elite racing is no stroll in the park, but training for it kind of is.
COLLIDER: Jann, I’ve got to start with you. You started playing a video game at home, you became a professional race car driver, and now there's a movie made about you. Have you played the lottery yet? Like a scratch card? Because you'll probably win like $10 million. MARDENBOROUGH: Everyone was, number one, very jealous, and number two, everyone wanted to join in and come and help me prepare for work.
And everybody has a job for everything. For example, the cars [and] the attention to detail when they were shooting the Le Mans scenes. When hours go by, of course, in real life, the car gets debris on the car, and same in the movie. There was a person kind of making sure that the car has more debris and more rubber and marks on the car as the movie is progressing through the Le Mans scene. So I was like, “Wow!” It's just very minor things. It's just staggering to me.
But, I mean, it was truly one of the hardest things I've ever done, being in that car. I have so much respect for all race car drivers. It is painful, it is taxing physically. I would be wringing out my clothes with sweat by the end of it, I'd be throwing up getting out of the cars, being in the cars.
