The editor for theGran Turismomovie revealed the biggest scene left on the cutting room floor.
It managed to achieve just that, with Mardenborough now touting 12 years of professional racing experience.
And [laughs] he has to be grounded by his family a bit.
That was sort of the only really big one.
They’re really funny, though.
I think we did lose some humor.
Parker then added that the leftoverrace footagethey havecould [make] another five films:
…
There’s so much race footage.
We could do another five films.
We could have added about four more races.
You saw, there’s a montage in the middle.
I think, motivation-wise for the character and our character’s arcs, it works better that way.
And the facts are in there.
I feel like it’s possible for you to never have too much family or emotional beats.
People just eat that up, and it’s super relatable.
And people like to see things that they’ve experienced or they can relate to.
The editor candidly agreed that editing a movie likeGran Turismoissuper chaotic:
…
It’s super chaotic.
But you kind of have to compartmentalize everything.
So we’re always editing while they shoot.
So we kind of were doing scene by scene.
I’m like, ‘alright, well, I don’t need this part.’
You start sacrificing the entrances and exits of scenes.
A movie like this is also comprised of lots of quick cuts and fast-paced editing.
I feel like there’s a scam going on or some subterfuge, so I want to be clear…
I kinda want to be on the driver.
And I just want the people to be grounded.
And I think it’s the same with any of these sports movies.
Every frame matters, every second matters.
It’s a movie, anybody could go and watch F1 on ESPN or something.
So the main idea is just to feel something for the character and then build drama through the races.
Why Didn’t the Mardenborough Family Scene Make the Cut?
As for all the extra race footage the team had, thats not surprising.
One would imagine most sports movies have plenty of extra footage in a similar vein.
Nevertheless, its always interesting to learn what could have been.
Gran Turismohits theaters on Friday, August 25.
