EA reveals Need for Speed movie
Aaron Paul took center stage to present first footage
Electronic Arts and DreamWorks Studios debuted the first behind the scenes footage from next Spring’s theatrical release, the action racing film Need for Speed, based on the best-selling videogame franchise from EA.
The film’s star, Aaron Paul (Breaking Bad), took center stage during EA 2013 Preview Conference to unveil the footage, alongside the custom Ford Mustang he drives in the film. The car is part of an exclusive partnership between DreamWorks and Ford Motor Company for the movie. This one-of-a-kind vehicle will crossover from the big screen to the upcoming videogame, Need for Speed Rivals.
The story of the film chronicles a cross-country journey — one that begins as a mission for revenge, but proves to be one of redemption. Featuring the same elements from the franchises in games – hot cars, chases and high-octane action, the film stars Aaron Paul, Imogen Poots (V for Vendetta) and Dominic Cooper (Captain America: The First Avenger). Need for Speed is penned by George Gatins with writing partner and brother John Gatins (Flight) and directed by Scott Waugh (Act of Valor). The film will open in theaters worldwide beginning March 14, 2014.
Need for Speed Rivals is the newest entry to EA’s racing franchise. Need for Speed Rivals will be available on November 19, 2013 for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC. The game will launch later this year on Xbox One and PlayStation 4.
