Need For Speed Sequel On It's Way

While the critical reaction to last year’s Need For Speed might have made it seem as though any sequel idea would end up rusting in a disused garage, game producers Electronic Arts took a look at the $203 million worldwide box office and decided to try to gear up a sequel. The company is has several Chinese companies looking to help get a new movie made. According to Variety, the plan for this one is to play up those business connections and shoot much of the movie in China, with local actors taking big roles. There’s no word yet on whether any of the cast from last year’s first film – which included Aaron Paul, Imogen Poots and Michael Keaton – will return. And a bigger roadblock is locking down the rights to make the thing at all, since DreamWorks currently holds the option.

Need For Speed Review. Wants Desperately To Outrace The Fast & Furious

Need For Speed Review By: MattInRc Need for Speed wants desperately to outrace The Fast and Furious . Here's why it places a distant last. With the tragic death of Actor Paul Walker in 2013, the Fast & The Furious franchise seems to be at a cross-roads. What better time to introduce a new series ready to take its place, featuring similarly fast cars that perform all the stunts without CGI assistance? Unfortunately, someone forgot to tell the creative team behind Need for Speed that quick whips don't make up for a junky plot and action that feels all too familiar.  When the street racer Tobey ( Aaron Paul ) is framed for murder by business associate Dino ( Dominic Cooper ), Tobey vows revenge in the only way he can: by traveling cross-country to challenge Dino in a secret race against other premium automobiles. But he'll need help from his friends Benny ( Scott Mescudi ), Finn ( Rami Malek ), and Joe (Ramon Rodriguez), as well as the beautiful Jul
