Need For Speed will be the latest video game to see a film adaptation now that DreamWorks has started development on the racing movie.
According to Deadline, the studio is about to close a deal with Electronic Arts to acquire the movie rights to the franchise. John Gatins, screenwriter of Real Steel will be producing the film which his brother George wrote the script for. There is no word yet on what the story of the film will be or how exactly it will tie into the game series.
Story-lines throughout the franchise have changed multiples times ranging from underground drifting and import tuning to high end exotics and professional racing. The most recent game, "The Run", had the player entered into a race that went from San Francisco to New York. The game didn't do so well and received poor rating when it was released.
