Sony developing ?Gran Turismo? movie with ?Fifty Shades? producing team
n/a
It seems like every major Hollywood studio either has or is developing a ?fast car? franchise. Universal has the immensely popular Fast and the Furious series; DreamWorks has the upcoming Need for Speed adaptation; and Legendary is looking to bring a Hot Wheels movie to the big screen. With this in mind, Sony has decided to throw its hat into the ring with Gran Turismo.
The Wrap is reporting that Sony has enlisted the help of the Oscar nominated producing duo Mike De Luca and Dana Brunetti ? who are also producig the upcoming Fifty Shades of Grey movie ? to adapt the best selling video game. De Luca and Brunetti also produced Sony?s 2010 hit film The Social Network, which earned the team Oscar nods.
The biggest selling franchise for Playstation, the Grand Turismo series has sold more than 70 million games worldwide over the course of five primary releases and eight secondary releases. The franchise?s latest installment, Gran Turismo 6, is due out later this year for Playstation 3. The series is the brainchild of Polyphony Digital and professional racecar driver Kazunori Yamauchi.
Unlike other racing video games, the Gran Turismo franchise has actual ties within the real-life racing community. In fact, the series has sponsored numerous racing teams such as Pescarolo Sport, Audi/Oreca, Peugeot, Audi A4, Vita4OneBMW Z4, Aston Martin Rapide and Signatech-Nissan.
The game has also been involved with the Pebble Beach Concours d?Elegance ? which is an annual automotive charity event ? since 2008. Each year, Yamauchi is invited to the prestigious event to present the Gran Turismo Trophy to those who ?make efforts to preserve irreplaceable, precious automotive culture for future generations to come.? Aside from receiving a trophy, the winners are featured in the Gran Turismo series.
As previously mentioned, there is no lack of ?fast car? films in the works. Following the success of Fast & Furious 6, which took in $712 million worldwide, Universal has announced that production on a seventh film will start next month.
The folks over at DreamWorks are currently filming Need for Speed, which will be released in March 2014. Based on the video game of the same name, Need for Speed stars Aaron Paul (Breaking Bad), Michael Keaton (The Other Guys), Dominic Cooper (Captain America), and Imogen Poots (Fright Night).
Not to mention, Legendary Pictures is currently developing a Hot Wheels movie.
Are you excited for a possible Gran Turismo movie or are you tired of the recent rash of racing movies?

George Washington's False Teeth
Robert Darnton, "George Washington's False Teeth"
2003 | ISBN: 0393057607, 0393337472 | 192 pages | PDF | 4 MB
George Washington was inaugurated as president in 1789 with one tooth in his mouth, a lower left bicuspid. The "Father of His Country" had sets of false teeth that were made of everything but wood, from elephant ivory and walrus tusk to the teeth of a fellow human. Darnton aargues that the Enlightenment had false teeth also - that it was not the "Father of the Modern World", responsible for all its advances and transgressions.

Spacewalkers leave space station for outside chores
CAPE CANAVERAL, Florida |
CAPE CANAVERAL, Florida (Reuters) - Two astronauts left the International Space Station on Tuesday for a day of maintenance tasks, including installing a power cable needed for a new Russian laboratory due to arrive later this year.
Veteran NASA astronaut Christopher Cassidy and rookie partner Luca Parmitano, the first Italian to make a spacewalk, left the station's Quest airlock shortly after 8 a.m. EDT as the orbital outpost sailed about 260 miles over the Arabian Sea.
"Have fun out there," crewmate Karen Nyberg radioed from inside the station, a $100 billion research complex owned by the United States, Russia, Japan and 11 European nations, including Italy.
Cassidy's first task was to replace a failed backup component of the station's Ku-band communications system, restoring redundancy.
Parmitano, meanwhile, maneuvered himself to the right side of the station's solar power truss to pick up a pair of science experiments that will be returned to Earth aboard a future Space Exploration Technologies' cargo ship.
The privately owned California-based company, also known as SpaceX, is one of two U.S. firms hired by NASA to fly cargo to the station following the retirement of the space shuttles in 2011.
SpaceX's Dragon cargo capsules, which also are being developed to fly astronauts, are the only ones that return to Earth. Other cargo ships, including those flown by Russia, Europe and Japan, incinerate in the atmosphere after they leave the station.
The spacewalkers' to-do list also included repositioning some equipment delivered aboard a Dragon capsule in March. The gear - two grapple bars - may be needed by future spacewalkers tasked to remove station radiator panels.
Cassidy, who was making his fifth spacewalk, installed a power and data cable from the station's Unity connecting node to the Russian part of the International Space Station, completing one of the main goals of the outing.
The cable is part of a system that will be needed for a new Russian multi-purpose laboratory called Nauka that is due to launch later this year.
The new module will replace Russia's Pirs airlock, as well as serve as a research laboratory and berthing port. Russian cosmonauts will install the rest of the cable during a future spacewalk.
Cassidy and Parmitano have a follow-up spacewalk themselves next week to re-route cables that control the station's electrical system.
