First Look at NEED FOR SPEED Adaptation Starring Aaron Paul

Need For Speed Movie First Look

DreamWorks and videogame developer EA have released a first-look featurette for their upcoming adaptation of the beloved "Need for Speed" franchise at this year's E3. The film stars "Breaking Bad" actor Aaron Paul as a street racer fresh out of prison who sets out the settle the score with the man responsible for his false conviction. Director Scott Waugh tried to achieve the perfect cinematic immersion with the experimental action movie "Act of Valor" and that realism seems to flow through the way he shot this movie, as well. Unfortunately, it's not the gimmick, but the story that really matters in a movie, so let's hope they can pull off the perfect balance. And they'll have to work hard at it if they want to avoid comparison with the "Fast & Furious" franchise.

DreamWorks Studios and Ford Motor Company have also announced their exclusive "Need for Speed" partnership for the protagonist's fancy car and here's what they had to say about it:
"Need for Speed is rooted in Americana, and when we were casting our hero car for the film, Ford Mustang was the obvious choice. With its 50-year history in film, the iconic Mustang is the perfect co-star for Aaron Paul. We are privileged to have such an esteemed partner like Ford working with us on this film and look forward to seeing their Mustang up on the big screen next year."
The cast also features Dominic Cooper, Ramon Rodriguez, Rami Malek, Imogen Poots, Dakota Johnson and Scott Mescudi. The release date is March 14, 2014.

Official Synopsis
