DreamWorks' upcoming adaptation of the EA video game.


DreamWorks has released the first two official images from their big screen version of the EA video game Need for Speed, neither of which actually feature cars.

Breaking Bad's Aaron Paul leads the cast, which includes Michael Keaton, Dominic Cooper, Imogen Poots, Kid Cudi, and future Fifty Shades of Grey star Dakota Johnson.

''Dominic is kind of the antagonist of the film,'' Paul explains to Entertainment Weekly. ''Dakota is my character's ex, and now Dominic's character is the new guy she's seeing.''

Here's the official plot synopsis: "Need for Speed marks an exciting return to the great car culture films of the 1960s and ’70s, tapping into what makes the American myth of the open road so appealing. The story chronicles a near-impossible cross-country journey for our heroes—one that begins as a mission for revenge, but proves to be one of redemption."

Need for Speed, directed by Act of Valor's Scott Waugh, opens March 14, 2014.
