In the film by Scott Waugh, which saw the light in 2014, "Need for Speed: A Need for Speed", the actors were selected for a long time and carefully. And it’s not even that Waugh wanted to make a special film based on the most popular computer game of our time. He dreamed that the viewer, looking at the screen, would not have the thought or understanding that what was happening in the film was a production. The work was supposed to be, according to his idea, ideal: real events transferred to the film. The director relied on youth, eccentricity, talent and recognition. Those who were selected for work should be listed: Dakota Johnson, Aaron Paul, Dominic Cooper, Michael, Keaton, Imogen Poots, Ramon Rodriguez and others. In today's article, we would like to recall some of the actors in Need for Speed: A Need for Speed, simultaneously weaving an interesting storyline into our memories.
the main role
A film adaptation of the computer game of the same name tells us the story of Toby Marshall, whose affairs at the beginning of the plot are not in the best way. His family-owned enterprise (workshop) is on the verge of ruin, and in order to restore balance and stay afloat, the main character takes as his companion a fast-paced street racer with a poor reputation, Dino Brewster. By the way, the role of Toby is played by Aaron Paul - a popular American actor, and part-time sex symbol of Hollywood. In Aaron’s career, there have been many successful works, for example, in the world famous TV series Breaking Bad, where he was in the image of Jesse Pinkman. The viewer also remembered him for such movie projects as “TRON: Rebellion”, “Mission Impossible - 3”, “Matrix: Threat” and the series “Bones”.
Main work with a big budget
In the film "Need for Speed: The Need for Speed", actor Dominic Cooper plays the role of a wealthy and unbearable former participant in illegal street races, who came to the protagonist to help in order to save his family workshop from ruin. Hero's name is Dino Brewster. A person interested in cinema could remember the American actor by the role of father Tony Stark in the film "First Avenger". During his career, Dominic was involved in many films, but the work of Scott Waugh clearly became for the actor one of the most ambitious projects in terms of the funds invested in him ($ 66 million).
The middle is the beginning of a new round of script
As you know, the actors agreed to the film "Need for Speed: Lust for Speed" almost immediately, because the film adaptation promised to be large-scale, and working in it promised a new experience and an interesting creative process. Already after the shooting, Aaron Paul admitted that he was curious to play such a simple, but at the same time exciting story. Moreover, closer to the middle of the film "Need for Speed: Lust for Speed", whose actors are on the agenda today, the story unfolded quite unexpectedly, in the spirit of a classic action movie. So, according to the scenario, after the situation has changed for the better and the family business was practically saved from bankruptcy, Dino betrays his partner. The main character ends up in prison, where the whole term of punishment bears thoughts of revenge, because he is innocent. Two years later, Marshall returns from the colony with an irresistible desire to get even with the traitor. In order to do this, he will have to show everyone that even among dude sports cars, the simplest driver is able to come to the finish line first.
Beautiful girls in Scott Waugh's painting
Actors "Need for Speed: Lust for Speed", the roles for which were as if specially invented, have made a huge contribution to the success of the film. But without beautiful girls, this project would hardly have raised more than $ 200 million in world box office. The English actress Imogen Poots and the daughter of the famous Hollywood diva Melanie Griffith - the charming Dakota Johnson, could not only become the decoration of the directorial work of Waugh, but also played their characters perfectly. Putts played the role of Julia, and Johnson got the role of Anita - the sister of Harrison Gilbertson (Pete), who, in the story, tragically dies in an accident during a race with Dino Brewster. By the way, Johnson recently became famous all over the world, playing in the famous and sensational adaptation of the frank novel, which became a bestseller, “Fifty Shades of Gray,” written by E. L. Jones.
Kid Kadi added a twinkle
In general, in the film "Need for Speed: The Thirst for Speed", the actors played in a dense and friendly composition. Not without musical stars: the famous hip-hop artist Kid Kadi was invited to take part in the film project. Thanks to the close-knit work of the acting team, the film turned out to be exciting and bold, and the action scenes in it were able to appreciate the action movie lovers. By the way, the abundance of luxury cars also contributed to the popularity of Scott Waugh's work in the global box office.
