00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:04,360
Speaker 1: Direct from Hollywood with Ryan Seacrest, Grand Turismo tells the

2
00:00:04,360 --> 00:00:07,400
Speaker 1: incredible true story of a race car driver, Jan Martin Burrough,

3
00:00:07,480 --> 00:00:09,200
Speaker 1: played by actor Archie Medecui.

4
00:00:09,440 --> 00:00:11,840
Speaker 2: Now, one thing casual racing fans may not know is

5
00:00:11,840 --> 00:00:14,040
Speaker 2: that the average height of race car drivers is around

6
00:00:14,040 --> 00:00:15,840
Speaker 2: five to nine. The lighter the driver, the faster of

7
00:00:15,840 --> 00:00:18,000
Speaker 2: the car. Chan's actually above average at five to ten,

8
00:00:18,040 --> 00:00:20,759
Speaker 2: but Archie stands just under six five, which created a

9
00:00:20,760 --> 00:00:23,079
Speaker 2: whole world of issues on the set that Archie and

10
00:00:23,160 --> 00:00:26,160
Speaker 2: director Neil Blomkamp had to navigate because the cars are

11
00:00:26,160 --> 00:00:29,160
Speaker 2: constructed for a much smaller guy. Neil tells a Hollywood reporter,

12
00:00:29,200 --> 00:00:31,480
Speaker 2: he's so tall that we had to make custom considerations.

13
00:00:31,480 --> 00:00:33,159
Speaker 2: We had to pull seats out of cars and give

14
00:00:33,240 --> 00:00:35,640
Speaker 2: him one that made him comfortable so he could fit properly.

15
00:00:36,080 --> 00:00:38,680
Speaker 2: We also had issues with cameras. It's so claustrophobic in

16
00:00:38,720 --> 00:00:40,600
Speaker 2: the car that we had to cut at the top

17
00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:43,200
Speaker 2: of his eye line because the camera couldn't physically tilt

18
00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:45,080
Speaker 2: up anymore. It got to the point where I referred

19
00:00:45,080 --> 00:00:47,240
Speaker 2: to the car as the Iron Maiden and how much

20
00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:49,880
Speaker 2: he hated it. But when he saw the film, he said, okay,

21
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:51,800
Speaker 2: that was worth it. He suffered, but it puts the

22
00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:54,240
Speaker 2: audience there with him. Grand Turismo is in theaters.

23
00:00:54,680 --> 00:00:56,360
Speaker 1: That's direct from Hollywood.
