Spice Girl Geri Halliwell joins Gran Turismo film

David Harbour will be playing a retired professional race car driver that will mentor Madekwe's Jann Mardenborough. Meanwhile, Daniel Puig (Naomi) will play Mardenborough's brother. Josha Stadowski (The Wheel of Time) will play a rival race car driver, while German character actor Thomas Kretschmann (Indiana Jones 5) will play Stadowski's father.

This is not Geri Halliwell-Horner's first foray into film. During the height of the Spice Girls in the 1990s, she appeared along with the rest of her group in the movie Spice World (1997), which coincided with their album of the same name. The Spice Girls are recognized as the most successful and best-selling female music group of all time.

Recently, the Spice Girls reunited for Halliwell-Horner's 50th birthday and celebrating 25 years of Spice World. Interestingly, the English singer and songwriter is married to a former racer and team principal of Red Bull's Formula One team.

Meanwhile, Djimoun Hounsou recently appeared as the Wizard Shazam in the Black Adam movie starring Dwayne Johnson. Hounsou will be reprising that role for Shazam! Fury of the Gods to be released on March 17, 2023. Hounsou will also be appearing in Zack Snyder's Rebel Moon on Netflix.

Originally intended as a tie-in to the Gran Turismo 7 release, the Gran Turismo film directed by Neill Blomkamp will be released to theaters on August 11, 2023.
