Need for Speed centers on an auto mechanic named Tobey Marshall (Paul), who along with a few pals, builds and races muscle cars. We know it sounds very Fast and Furious. But in this story, Tobey joins forces with former NASCAR driver Dino Brewster (Dominic Cooper), who ends up framing him for manslaughter.
Tobey goes to prison and has a huge chip on his shoulder. Can you blame him? That’s why this first trailer is filled with angst. The quick glances and blank stares are just a setup for something more to come. Tobey’s a man on a mission. Even though revenge is his focus, he may find redemption instead.
Need for Speed also stars Imogen Poots, Ramon Rodriguez, Rami Malek, Harrison Gilbertson, Scott “Kid Cudi” Mescudi, Michael Keaton and Dakota Johnson.
Need for Speed opens in theaters March 14.
