When it was first announced that the popular NEED FOR SPEED video game series would be adapted into a feature film, I was admittedly very sceptical. I didn’t have much prior knowledge on the games but I was very aware of the long and terrible history attached to big screen adaptations. The mere mention of names like STREET FIGHTER, DOOM or MAX PAYNE are enough to send a shiver down the spine of moviegoers everywhere (and for good reason).
However, since the films development I have changed my mind in the hope that it will prove to be an enjoyable action flick rather than a bad FAST & FURIOUS rip-off. The casting of incredibly talented actors such as Aaron Paul, Dominic Cooper and Michael Keaton is enough to peak my interest alone and with the knowledge that the film is entirely reliant on practical effects (rather than CGI), it has made me thoroughly excited! Check out the posters below:
NEED FOR SPEED will be released 12th March and stars Aaron Paul, Dominic Cooper, Michael Keaton, Ramon Rodriguez, Dakota Johnson and Imogen Poots.
