    I like how they say "To the spirit of the video game franchise " while notes state " Wll not be based off of any of the video games ". Yeah, steering clear of this one.

    Fright Night actress Imogen Poots has been cast in the lead female role in DreamWorks big screen adaptation of the video game Need For Speed. She joins Breaking Bad's Aaron Paul who was cast in the film earlier this month.

    From what we know of the movie, it will tell an original story that is not based on an individual game. It is described as being a "fast-paced, high-octane film rooted in the tradition of the great car culture films of the 70s while being extremely faithful to the spirit of the video game franchise. In Need for Speed, the cars are hot, the racing is intense and the story keeps players at the edge of their seat."

    Act of Valor director Scott Waugh is developing the film based on a script written by George and John Gatins. The movie is set to start shooting next year and will be released on February 7th 2014.

    Well this is certainly going to suck balls. Even with Imogen Poots in it.

    Clicked thread hinking it was a new NFS game. Somehow this is cool with me, I hope this blows though.

    Haven't played a NFS game since I tested NFSU. I just don't see this "movie" doing anything but flopping.

    Prefer NFS:U only. That was when the series took a turn and it felt fresh. The night time/urban feeling was great, and it was just cool in general (I am biased over games with an urban setting though, especially at night).

    Story in NFS:U works for me. If I remember correctly. The movie should go like this:

    Opening = kickass race, only to find it's a dream
    main girl wakes up main dude, shows him the ropes
    main dude wins a couple of races (hey it's a movie right? can't have 20+ races lol, unless shown in a montage), upgrades his car
    eddie, the main rival, mocks main dude, says he'll race him if he beats main girl (i think her name was samantha?)
    main dude beats sam, sam crashes/goes emo (it was her ex-BF's car!!!!! OMG)
    main dude challenges eddie, eddie beats him/trashes his car
    main dude and sam re-connect/<insert some love scenes>/sam gives him a new car
    MONTAGE OF MAIN DUDE PIMPING OUT NEW CAR
    main dude showdown with eddie, beats, eddie crashes into a lamp post and dies
    <DE END>
    <CREDITS+RAP MUSIC>
    <SEQUEL HOOK AFTER CREDITS: eddie wakes up in hospital "main dude will PAY for this!">
    <spawns 5 additional films + 3D EDITION + NEW GAME>
    ...
    <end of movie 5, main dude suffers a terrible accident, lives but his face is completely manged. He takes on a new identity...>

    Feels like you just summarized the Fast and Furious franchise.

    I've not seen any of it. Honest.

    But now that you mention it, is that very urban (I only seen the DVD covers)? I might as well go watch it if so. Hmmm.

    I'd say watch the series only because of Fast Five. Awesome movie.

    If you rewatch the first trailer, and replace all the smart words with cuss words, its the sequel to Breaking Bad.
