Need For Speed vs. Fast and Furioous

I saw the first trailer for the new Need For Speed trailer the other day and Empire Magazine were saying something that really got me thinking according to them this new film "...promises to offer a more emotional element than even the Fast and Furious films contain..."

This in my opinion is a pretty big promise and I was just thinking that there would have to be a hell of a lot of emotionality in this film to give it something that the Fast and Furious series of films hasn't got.

Anyhew...as you probably can tell from the above writtings that I am a massive fan of the 'Fast and Furious' films and am probably a little biased in my opinion of this movie so far as Need For Speed is adapted from a racing car game and Fast and Furious isn't it was purely made on the basis of the director at the time Justin Lin reading an article in the paper about street racing, but I will give it this though, that some game adapted movies that I've seen like "The Punisher",-FYI Punisher fans like me will be excited to know that I read on Collider.com the other day that as a result of the rights for both The Punisher and Daredevil lapsing over at Lionsgate and Fox Marvel have now got them back and has plans in the pipeline to make movies of them but when is anyone's guess and these movies would have to be reboots, but I really liked the last Punisher film it definitely wasn't as bad as Daredevil and although Frank Castle did wear a floor length black leather jacket it suited and I think that it didn't take anything away from how the character was supposed to look action packed unlike in Daredevil- and "Hitman"  are red dewatch really good and well written so that the film is all action packed and make you want to buy it on DVD and make you want to watch it over and over again.

Also something that will have fans like me of the Fast and Furious films screaming with excitement as it did me the other day when I first read about this on Collider.com was the studio is hoping to film a Fat and Furious 8,9 and 10, there is a guaranteed 8th instalment of these films in the pipeline already...I don't know how much more crazy ass you can get with the car stunts and chases and where else you can locate this film but I'm guessing with Jason Statham in this next film there is a whole load of crazy involved if his previous films like The Transporter, The Mechanic and Parker are anything to go by, and there is a new director on this latest one as Justin Lin has walked away and James Lin is the new director.

But this does have from the looks of this new trailer like this film is a bit tamer than Fast and Furious in terms of car chases, unbelievable stunts (which both films have) and I definitely from seeing this trailer didn't think that this was more emotional in terms of storyline than Fast and Furious movies.

The plot sounds exactly like The Fast and Furious films though,-a tale about revenge that involves a team of precision drivers and a hell of a lot of crazy ass stunts and cars like Ford Mustangs, Ford Chargers, Aston Martin (this was the bad guys car in the last Fast and Furious) etc, but this time though there seems to be a Buggati thrown into the mix- as Aaron Paul from Breaking Bad plays a street racer Tobey Marshall who goes into business with rich arrogant car supplier Dino who is played by Dominic Cooper who you may or may not have seen from Mamma Mia, but then goes onto find himself framed by Dino for the murder of a friend during a race. He wants revenge, so once out of jail Tobey signs himself up to a cross country race hosted by none other than Michael Keaton for a chance to strike back at Dino, but then Dino finds out about his plan and puts a bounty on Marshall's head, which cues the crazy ass stunts while Marshall tries to fight illegal drivers off his tail...and of course there has to be a pretty girl to play the love interest Imogen Poots who plays an exotic car dealer.

Here is the trailer for you to take a gander at:

I do realise though that this does sound like I am just killing it's buzz though and that it won't be anything on Fast and Furious as I am a huge fan of the films but I'll still go see it when this comes out at cinemas in the UK on March 14th 2014 because of the cars especially the Buggatti...who doesn't want to see a Buggatti but I'll reserve judgement until then.
