‘Need For Speed’ based on video game


Disney sets ‘Need For Speed’ release For Feb. 7, 2014

Deadline Hollywood
Need For Speed, DreamWorks Studios (Steven Speilberg) feature film based on the Electronic Arts video game franchise, will be released wide by Disney on February 7, 2014. DreamWorks offically acquired feature film rights to the property last month after setting Act Of Valor co-director Scott Waugh to direct. George and John Gatins developed the original story and George is writing the script; John is producing with Mark Sourian.

Need For Speed was the first major project expenditure DreamWorks made once the company came out of suspended animation while waiting for Reliance to invest cash in a re-up. The video game series has sold more than 140 million units worldwide.
