To Be Filmed in China because they Enjoyed the Film more than any other Territory
A sequel to last year’s “Need for Speed” is in the works, with the same Chinese partners that helped Paramount make “Transformers: Age of Extinction” teaming up with Electronic Arts in hopes of co-producing.

Much of “Need for Speed 2″ would be filmed in China, with the nation’s actors also taking significant roles, according to an announcement of the new arrangement by joint venture partners China Movie Channel Program Center, Jiaflix Enterprises and 1905 Pictures, along with Electronic Arts, creator of the “Need for Speed” videogame.

“We are excited to work with EA, one of the world’s most recognized creative companies,” said Yin Cao, chairman of China Movie Channel. “We are also delighted that much of ‘Need for Speed 2′ would be filmed in China, and we believe it will include much more Chinese talent and elements.”

Jiaflix president Marc Ganis predicted the launch of “one of the next great franchises for movie fans around the world.”
