"Gran Turismo" is based on the popular game played on Sony Playstation, touted at the "single biggest franchise" for the console having sold 70 million copies worldwide, with the latest installment of the series, "Gran Turismo 6" due out next year. The game adaptation will be guided by producers Mike De Luca and Dana Brunetti.
