New Need for Speed coming soo... oh wait its a movie now?!?!

I couldn't make this up if I wanted: after watching this trailer, Road & Track, the magazine that helped EA create the original NFS back in 1994, issued a public apology for ever having had a connection to the series. Seriously. [http://www.roadandtrack.com/go/pop-culture/road-and-track-apologizes-for-need-for-speed]

Oh Aaron Paul...From Breaking Bad to a video game movie. And not just any video game movie - A Need for Speed movie. How the mighty have fallen.

Looks pretty cringe-worthy, I really don't like when people force drama and "romance" into a movie that never really warranted it.

Generic protagonist trailer speech alone tells me to stay away from it. I really hate those, and people keep doing them like it's something new.

Jesse Pinkman, I hope you find better work in the future.

I just saw that and wow. just WOW. I feel sorry for Road and Track.

"They took everything from me..."

Except of course my million pound racing car and Hollywood girlfriend.

If they wanted to make an adaptation of a game, why not do the Driver series? Those games have plots, as well as a main character. The only thing a Need for Speed movie gets is the name, nothing else. (Although it is a pretty good name for a movie about fast cars, I'll give it that.)

I lost interest in F&F after tokyo drift because it lost focus from the actual racing. I lost interest in NFS after carbon because it lost focus from the actual racing. I think we see a theme here

If this is trying to cash in on F&Fs success then i wont be happy. The latest fast films are only popular because everyone fancies dwayne johnson and vin diesel (especially straight white males) other than they are terrible films. I can think of a load of good car films that arent just about racing (gone in sixty seconds, drive and the transporter to name but a few) that are far superior to these movies and you actually care about the protagonist (especially transporter).

Fast was different because it was mostly about the underground racing scene (especially 2 which was my favourite) with a few cop chases, gangster and a bit of story but the latest iterations are all about story and little to no racing
