First Trailer For NEED FOR SPEED

 

The first trailer for Dreamwork's adaption of the popular long-running video-game franchise, Need For Speed, starring "Breaking Bad"s Aaron Paul, is out, and has an oddly emotional and hard-hitting monologue over scenes of dramatic car-races and crashes.

You know, I was excited for this movie anyways, because I love action movies; but from the trailer it gives off a truly HITMAN or Quantum of Solace vibe of an action film that has a lot of stuff really going on underneath it. It's good to see Paul isn't just phoning it in for this; but this might actually be a perfect mixture of high-octane action (with practical stunts to boot) and genuine emotion; but call me old fashioned.

"They took everything from me. I do not fear, for you are with me, All those who defied me shall be ashamed and disgraced. Those who wage war against me shall perish. I will find strength, find guidance, and I will triumph."

Need For Speed, set to release March 14, 2014, and stars Aaron Paul, Dominic Cooper, Michael Keaton, and Kid Cudi.

In a last attempt to save his struggling garage, blue-collar mechanic Tobey Marshall (Aaron Paul)—who with his team skillfully builds and races muscle cars on the side—reluctantly partners with wealthy, arrogant ex-NASCAR driver Dino Brewster (Dominic Cooper). Just as a major sale to car broker Julia Bonet (Imogen Poots) 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.
