Many of us grew up playing this game on the PC and consoles. There were major tournaments held around the globe to find the fastest racers on different Need For Speed race tracks. Ever since we laid our hands on Need For Speed II SE (Special <keyword id="106984" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="40" keywordseo="edition">Edition</keyword>) back in the late nineties, we wondered when will one get to see a movie made on this game series. 
 There have been numerous other movies like Battleship, Resident Evil and <keyword id="152429" type="PERSON" weightage="60" keywordseo="Max-Payne">Max Payne</keyword>, which were adaptation of the games, and now joining the list is Need For Speed. The Movie comes from the banner of <keyword id="193295" type="CITY" weightage="40" keywordseo="Touchstone-Pictures">Touchstone Pictures</keyword> and is directed by <keyword id="1965143" type="PERSON" weightage="40" keywordseo="Scott-Waugh">Scott Waugh</keyword>.

However, looking at the first trailers of the movie, the film seems like an action packed thriller. 
 <keyword id="256908" type="COMPANY" weightage="40" keywordseo="Imdb">IMDB</keyword> synopsis suggests this about the movie – “Fresh from <a href="http://www.imdb.com/search/name?bio=prison">prison</a>, a <keyword id="1965144" type="POSITION" weightage="40" keywordseo="street-racer">street racer</keyword> who was framed by a wealthy business associate joins a cross country race with revenge in mind.

This flick will be out in March 2014 and we for one cannot wait to catch it in theatres. Here is the trailer of the movie.

Paul put it more simply: "The Mustang is a beast...It is so much faster than you would ever think."

Here's video of the car's starring role:

Aaron Paul Will Drive The New Mustang In Upcoming Movie 'Need For Speed' [VIDEO]

If you headed to theaters this weekend to see "<a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/category/need-for-speed" target="_blank">Need for Speed</a>," the film included some crazy stunts.
Audiences saw a Ford Mustang jump three lanes of traffic in Detroit and get airlifted by a U.S. Army helicopter.
One thing you may not have realized was that the DreamWorks' film was <a href="http://www.ign.com/articles/2013/11/18/need-for-speed-kicks-cgi-to-the-curb" target="_blank">made entirely without</a> any computer-generated imagery, commonly known as "<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer-generated_imagery" target="_blank">CGI</a>."
Director Scott Waugh - a former stuntman - wanted to make the action look as real as possible.
"My philosophy has always been that you can't break physics because if you do it hurts the story because then the characters don't apply to physics either," <a href="http://www.wdsmediafile.com/media/needforspeed/writen-material/needforspeed52f9296491b55.pdf" target="_blank">said Waugh</a>. <a href="http://www.wdsmediafile.com/media/needforspeed/writen-material/needforspeed52f9296491b55.pdf"> </a>
In Hollywood, while most films employ CGI, you may be surprised by the movies that opt out of using digital enhancements.

14 Movies That Used A Lot Less CGI Than You Think

<div class="KonaFilter image-container"><div class="image">Disney/DreamWorks</div></div>"Breaking Bad" star Aaron Paul is heading to theaters this weekend in "Need for Speed." 
We were able to check out a screening of DreamWorks' video game adaptation Monday.
Aside from the <a href="http://boxofficemojo.com/search/?q=resident%20evil" target="_blank">"Resident Evil" franchise</a>, Hollywood <a href="http://www.boxofficemojo.com/genres/chart/?id=videogameadaptation.htm" target="_blank">hasn't had a good track record bringing games to theaters</a> so I went in with pretty low expectations. After a long 2 hrs and 10 minutes, I was left pretty unimpressed, walking away more knowledgeable about Ford's new Mustang out next year.
<div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table float_right"><div><div class="image">Disney/DreamWorks, Kirsten Acuna/Business Insider</div></div></div>For a movie based on a game about racing, there are two real races in the film at the beginning and end. In between, the rest plays out like a giant ad for <a href="http://www.ford.com/cars/mustang/" target="_blank">Ford's 2014 Mustang</a> as the audience watches - and listens - to the 900 horsepower (an imaginary number made for the film) vehicle race from New York to California in 48 hours to compete in a secret race. 
The film follows Paul as Tobey Marshall, a natural born driver (clearly with the need for speed). However, instead of pursuing his dreams and ending up an international racer, he's a simple mechanic working at his own shop in a small upstate New York town with a gang of buddies. 
While Paul is the film's lead, the main star of the film is the Shelby GT500 Mustang Marshall and his crew are asked to work on at the film's start. 
This shouldn't be a surprise. 
Ford and DreamWorks collaborated on an <a href="http://corporate.ford.com/news-center/press-releases-detail/pr-dreamworks-studios-and-ford-motor-38147" target="_blank">extensive partnership on the film</a>, with the motor vehicle company making a special Mustang for production. The car is based on the 2013 Shelby GT500 for the car's creator Carroll Shelby. He was working on a 50th anniversary edition of the car before passing away in 2012. (You get this rundown in the film.) A total of seven Mustangs were built for the film either for shots or specific stunts. 
No sooner than the car is introduced on screen, does the audience get hit with a list of specs of the imaginary Mustang. This comes courtesy of actress Imogen Poots who proves girls can be knowledgeable about muscle cars, too. Soon after, we see Marshall take the 'stang for a test drive on a closed course to show off an impressive top speed of 234 mph. (In actuality, the vehicle built for the film tops out at 190 mph.) 
For a majority of the film we watch Paul show off what the car can do - weave in and out of traffic seamlessly, soar across three lanes of traffic, make unbelievably wicked sharp turns, and go off road.
Not even the "Fast and the Furious" franchise made sure the audience was so invested in one particular car. 
Don't get us wrong, the Shelby looks great during its time on screen. (*spoiler*It's extended ad comes to a screeching halt when the car is totaled near the film's end.*spoiler*) All the cars in the film do. Director Scott Waugh makes his action sequences look incredibly believable. 
That's because DreamWorks' big selling point for the film is that it's <a href="http://www.wdsmediafile.com/media/needforspeed/writen-material/needforspeed52f9296491b55.pdf" target="_blank">made entirely without CGI</a>. As a result, there are a few cool scenes with cars on a bridge, flying across traffic, and getting picked up by a helicopter that make you appreciate it was all done without a green screen. 
As well, Waugh captures the essence of the series on screen by filming not only from the driver's perspective inside the car, but also outside from different points of view. For those familiar with the "Need for Speed" franchise, it's a nice nod to the game where players can alternate between a few different angles to view a car while racing. <div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table click-to-enlarge"><div><div class="image"><a title_source="Disney/DreamWorks" title_caption="That's a real helicopter carrying a car as seen in the movie." class="zoomin" href="https://static-ssl.businessinsider.com/image/53220a4e6bb3f70222465f05-960/need-for-speed-helicopter.jpg"></a>Disney/DreamWorksThat's a real helicopter carrying a car as seen in the movie.</div></div></div>
However, for all the care put into races and cars on screen, the script and dialogue could have used some fine tuning. There are a lot of things that either don't make sense or that are never fully explained to the audience. 
Underneath cars getting smashed to pieces and chased down by cops, there's a story involving Marshall (Aaron Paul) exacting revenge on an old high school rival Dino Brewster (Dominic Cooper) who set him up to take the fall for murder. Marshall's out to even the score by driving across the country to beat him in a race. 
Other than some old high school drama, it's never really explained why Dino and Tobey are rivals from the start. <div class="KonaFilter image-container"><div class="image">Disney/DreamWorksWhat I gathered from this early scene in the film is that Aaron Paul and Dominic Cooper's characters have beef over some old high school drama. </div></div>
At various points Tobey's pal Benny (Scott Mescudi) pops up in a series of random planes and helicopters that make you question whether you're watching "Need for Speed" or "<a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/category/grand-theft-auto-v" target="_blank">Grand Theft Auto</a>" (another popular gaming franchise). 
Personally, one thing I couldn't comprehend is that while Aaron Paul's character is so worried about avenging the death of a friend in a car crash early on, there are so many other subsequent and prior crashes caused at his hand throughout the film that's it's odd to imagine he can't feel something for the other lives he's obviously affecting in addition.
The acting and dialogue don't impress, either. Paul appears to play an incarnation of his "Breaking Bad" character Jesse Pinkman. There's a scene where his character gets really emotional and Paul's reaction feels like a <a href="http://www.reactiongifs.com/cant-keep-getting-away/" target="_blank">scene straight out of the AMC series</a>. (You'll know it when you see it.) 
<div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table float_right"><div><div class="image">Disney/DreamWorksYes, that's Michael Keaton with a soul patch.</div></div></div>After "<a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/robocop-reviews-not-as-good-as-original-2014-2" target="_blank">RoboCop</a>," Michael Keaton attempts to make another return on screen in an unconventional role as an eccentric racing aficionado. 
Possibly the best performance in the film was from Poots who instantly brings some life to what feels like an uneven script.
For the many years the "Fast and the Furious" franchise has reigned supreme in theaters, I always imagined one day someone would try to do a "Need for Speed" franchise to compete. 
Universal doesn't have to worry.
However nice the cars may be - and <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/need-for-speed-cars-featured-in-movie-2014-1" target="_blank">they are really nice</a> - and how well done the final race looks, "Need for Speed" never really sets itself up for a sequel. Then again, it's difficult to compete with a franchise that recently <a href="http://boxofficemojo.com/movies/?id=fast6.htm" target="_blank">commanded more than $1 billion</a> at theaters with a single film.
"Need for Speed" is better than a lot of video game adaptations, but it's definitely not going to be the next great franchise.
