NEED FOR SPEED - Full Trailer & New Pictures

The full-length theatrical trailer for the videogame adaptation "Need for Speed" is finally here, along with a batch of new images from the film. This is pretty much an old-school revenge story seasoned with "Fast & Furious" style racing action, and the trailer does provide a lot more footage from the film's various car chases. It remains to be seen, though, if the filmmakers managed to translate the videogame into a worthy movie, or if it's just another "Fast & Furious" wannabe trying to cash-in on a cinematic trend.

The film is directed by Scott Waugh ("Act of Valor") and it stars Aaron Paul, Dominic Cooper, Imogen Poots, Kid Cudi, Ramon Rodriguez, Rami Malek, Harrison Gilbertson, Dakota Johnson and Michael Keaton.

"Need for Speed" opens on March 14, 2014.

Check out the trailer and images after the jump.

Official Synopsis

"Based on the most successful racing video game franchise ever with over 140 million copies sold, DreamWorks Pictures’ “Need for Speed” captures the thrills of the game in a real-world setting. An exciting return to the great car-culture films of the 1960s and ’70s, when authenticity brought a new level of intensity to the action, “Need for Speed” taps into what makes the American myth of the open road so enticing. The story chronicles a near-impossible cross-country race against time—one that begins as a mission for revenge, but proves to be one of redemption. In a last attempt to save his struggling garage, blue-collar mechanic Tobey Marshall (Aaron Paul)—who with his team skillfully builds and races muscle cars on the side—reluctantly partners with wealthy, arrogant ex-NASCAR driver Dino Brewster (Dominic Cooper). Just as a major sale to car broker Julia Bonet (Imogen Poots) looks like it will save the business, a disastrous, unsanctioned race results in Dino framing Tobey for manslaughter. Two years later and fresh out of prison, Tobey is set on revenge with plans to take down Dino in the high-stakes De Leon race—the Super Bowl of underground racing. To get there in time, Tobey must run a high-octane, action-packed gauntlet, dodging cops coast-to-coast and dealing with fallout from a dangerous bounty Dino put on his car. With his loyal crew and the surprisingly resourceful Julia as allies, Tobey defies odds at every turn and proves that even in the flashy world of exotic supercars, the underdog can still finish first."
