David Harbour explains why Gene Hackman's role in Hoosiers inspired him to star in Neill Blomkamp's Gran Turismo.
, Harbour was asked if there were any actors in other movies he turned to for inspiration when filming Gran Turismo.
“Yeah, but only because I watch Hoosiers once every couple years,” Harbour answered. Gene Hackman and Hoosiers are part of the reason why I took this movie. My agent sent me the Gran Turismo script and I read through it and thought, ‘Oh my God, I get to remake Hoosiers for a younger generation.’ So that was exciting, and Hackman’s Norman Dale was really the primary North Star character for me. He’s certainly even more complicated [than Jack].
