Only last night to be bring you a stylish new international poster for Scott Waugh’s film adaptation of video game NEED FOR SPEED, and now a UK quad come racing in for the fast-paced thriller led by Aaron Paul. We’ve also got a muscle car featurette that gives a tease at the crushing vehicles set to cause carnage in the plot that sees the Breaking Bad star’s ex-con out for revenge against his former pal Dominic Cooper. Waugh has a lot to do if his film is to top SUPER MARIO BROS. as cinemas greatest video game transition! Okay, maybe not…
“Need for Speed” 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—who with his team skillfully builds and races muscle cars on the side—reluctantly partners with wealthy, arrogant ex-NASCAR driver Dino Brewster. Just as a major sale to car broker Julia Bonet 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.
NEED FOR SPEED also stars Imogen Poots, Dominic Cooper, Ramon Rodriguez, Rami Malek, Harrison Gilbertson, Scott ‘Kid Cudi’ Mescudi, Michael Keaton and Dakota Johnson. It’s released on the 14th March 2014 in both the US and the UK.
