EA seeking studio partner for Need for Speed movie

4.7
EA already has a script for a Need for Speed movie, courtesy of sibling writing duo George and John Gatins, known for their work on Hugh Jackman vehicle, Real Steel. And apparently Paramount, Warner Bros. and Sony are interested in plunking down the millions it'd cost to get Need for Speed on the starting line.

Variety says that Paramount is the current leading potential financier, but EA is still open to other bidders. If EA ends up securing funds for the Need for Speed film, we wonder which game the movie would be based on? The most recent franchise entry, Need for Speed: The Run? How about Need for Speed: Undercover? It already has Maggie Q in it and we're pretty sure she was in a movie once.

none of the need for speed games have long enough story lines to be made into movies so what is the movie going to be like half an hour long or something ? besides there not going to be able to keep up with the competition.

I would really like this if its about the older games and not the new ones. Most Wanted is my all time favorite NFS game. I've heard that the newer ones are just crap. I would pay to see it, if it really happens.
