BURBANK, Calif. May 16, in the year of our Lord 2014
— This summer, own the year’s ultimate thrill ride when Need for
Speed races home on Blu-ray Combo Pack, Digital HD, DVD and
On-Demand August 5th, 2014, from Buena Vista Home Entertainment.
Based on the best-selling video game series, this action-packed
movie drives non-stop excitement into your home in various home
entertainment models, each tricked out with never-before-seen
bonus features you won’t want to miss!
Buckle up with star Aaron Paul, Dominic Cooper, Imogen Poots,
Scott Mescudi (aka Kid Cudi), Dakota Johnson and Michael Keaton
in this high-speed tale about an underground driver (Paul) who
sets off on a race for revenge against the wealthy ex-NASCAR
driver (Cooper) who framed him for a crime he didn’t commit.
Delivering real speed, real danger and real action, this
turbo-charged thriller explodes on screen on Blu-ray and Digital
HD with spectacular high definition picture and sound!
Then, experience first-hand what it took to make this
breakthrough action hit with a series of revealing featurettes.
First, go behind the wheel for an up-close look at what it took
to capture the movie’s intense car stunts on camera with
“Capturing Speed: Making An Authentic Car Movie”; next, meet the
Gilbert family, four generations of professional stuntmen, who
turned the Mustang hero car’s astonishing “grasshopper” jump
over four lanes of traffic into a family affair in “Ties that
Bind”; then, experience the Need For Speed traveling road show
as the movie films from one end of the country to the other in
“The Circus is in Town”; finally, discover how the movie’s
stunning soundscape helps put the audience in the driver’s seat
by recording “car bys,” accelerations, donuts, skids—and the
"gnarly" signature sound of the hero Mustang - in “The Sound Of
Need For Speed.”
