Need for Speed Movie Trailer Is Seriously Dramatic Business

​

The official trailer for the Need for Speed movie is a drama-laden ode to the resilience of the human psyche that you probably don't want to miss.

Just kidding! It's actually a CGI-fueled slice of overwrought nonsense, with some guy doing his best "I am a biblical badass" reading for a Fox TV series while the violins play in the background and supercars slam into one another and flip end-over-end in gravity-defying displays of aerobatic awesomeness. What's going on? I have no idea; it looks like a cross between The Fast and the Furious and Vanishing Point, with maybe a hint of Ryan Gosling envy going on, but really it's just VROOM VROOM SMASH BASH CRASH "oh my tortured soul" ZOOM ZOOM!

Am I being overly dismissive? Perhaps. It's possible that Need for Speed will be a legitimately solid action flick packed with an exciting array of licensed sports cars duking it out in eye-popping street races. But you know what? I'm not holding my breath. Call me a cynic if you will.

Need for Speed is set to hit screens in the U.S. in March 2014.

Of all the games that didn't need a movie, NFS is definitely at the top. Besides, don't we already have a whole pile of car flicks? F&F, Gone in 60 Seconds etc.

Yeahhh... No. Games like this turn out to be a generic movie, but it could worse, Uwe Bowl (is that how you spell it?) could be behind it lol

Boo! not even one "...*****!" at the end of a sentence.

I liked the Need for Speeds where the closed thing to a super car was a Nissan Skyline. But I guess a cover with a Civic doesn't sell games.

Seriously? It's Jessie "*****" Pinkman right there! Some guy? I don't watch Breaking Bad, and even I know who he is.

I worked security for this movie when they filmed the some of the city chase scenes in Georgia, when one of the mechanics told me the premise of the story I knew it would be shit, looks like I was right. Also the production company were filled with a bunch of assholes, they didn't pay the security company I worked for so I didn't get paid for the work I did till two months after I had done it. Fuck them and their shitty movie, also tanner foust did the stunt driving for them, he was alright.

Aaron Paul is not "some guy". I really hope he finds his spot in the acting business because action hero lead I can't imagine will be it. He'd be a great voice actor, it's very distinct.

Boo! not even one "...*****!" at the end of a sentence.

"I feel the need for speed... *****!" *car reves up and speeds passed a police car blockade*

OT: Despite having no expectations for this movie... I will check this movie out and I might actually enjoy the ride... *****... LOL...

(Also, apparently, Jesse can never hold on to a girlfriend... even in a movie based on a popular racing game... The YouTube comments crack me up...)
