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:
