Rumors of a Need For Speed movie have been circling for some time now, but early this morning news came in from Need For Speed’s official facebook page stating that Dreamworks had won the rights to make a movie based off the popular racing franchise.
While there are no news as of a script, actors, or most importantly; cars that will appear in the movie. This is a big step forward for the series and while we kind of expect the story to be more along the lines of NFS: The Run, we won’t know until a trailer for the movie come out.
EDIT: Some news has surfaced about the project. Dreamworks has set the movie for a 2014 release date, with the script being penned by brothers George and John Gatins. Director Scott Waugh; who recently directed Act of Valor and did stunt work for xXx, Biker Boyz, Torque and The Italian Job, is currently set to direct.
