After closing a deal with Electronic Arts, DreamWorks studios have announced their upcoming 2014 “Need For Speed” movie, a cinematic treatment of the entire NFS franchise, not one particular series.
The film, which has been penned by George Gatins, will be fast-tracked into production early next year.
Steven Spielberg, DreamWorks chairman said: “I’m excited about getting back into the creative trenches with John and George Gatins and my partners at EA to bring to life an exhilarating script based on an epic video game that seems to have been made for the movies.”
NFS is the premier racing game in the video game industry and one of EA’s best-selling video game franchises. Since the release of the first title, the series has sold more than 140 million units worldwide.
