Yeah, Bitch!! Aaron Paul Has NEED FOR SPEED!!
The Kidd here...
If you've sat down for any length of time to take in the brilliance of AMC's BREAKING BAD, then you know Aaron Paul bears watching in any project he's involved in. Walter White may be at the forefront of the show, but, for me, Jesse Pinkman has become the much more intriguing character to watch, and that is due to the outstanding work of Aaron Paul week in and week out.
When his name came up around the time casting for John McClane's son was underway, I had hope that Paul would land the role that eventually went to Jai Courtney. When I caught SMASHED not too long ago, I was easily able to get past the automatic Pinkman association, and was drawn into Paul's enabling alcoholic relationship with Mary Elizabeth Winstead. Now that we're hearing Paul has landed the lead in DreamWorks' adaptation of the popular EA video game NEED FOR SPEED, I'm kind of psyched. After all, more Aaron Paul is a good thing.
ACT OF VALOR's Scott Waugh is lined up to direct from a George Gatins screenplay, and we should expect to see NEED FOR SPEED in theatres for February 7, 2014. I know, I know... it's a video game adaptation. Those never work. But what about one built around Aaron Paul...? Maybe...?
Yeah, bitch!!

I prefer casting articles to have a picture of said actor/actors.

Especially when it's a beautiful women. For Aaron Paul, just find a still when he was a contestant on The Price is Right. Yes, he was on the Price is Right and it's awesome.

*edit* women should be woman, but I like the plural.

I watched the entire series up to the most recent episode a couple weeks ago in a week long Breaking Bad binge. The Pinkman Arc is just as powerful and fun to watch as Walter White's taken over the entire series. Only a very good actor with great writers can pull that off. In the begining of the series I could not wait for Aaron Paul to get off the screen because he was so annoying. Now i root for the guy.

I feel the need. The need for a Fast and Furious retread.

Upon reading the headline I thought it was a Top Gun sequel/remake/reboot.
by kindofabigdeal
Then when I read the article I realized that this was something that I cared even less about. I don't know why Kidd is getting so excited. When this movie comes out he's just gonna shit all over it like he does every movie that he reviews.

you needed $737,000 because you figured it out like, like mathematically
-
Just do it.
-
Oh, wait...

Oh, wait...

They should.

This movie needs to replicate the feel of blasting down a busy video game highway at 2 am while baked out of one's mind.

i grew up with him and he pretty much was jesse pinkman in high school, sub weed for meth
by la te ral us
he's always been the most annoying part of the show...until recently, they finally started writing him well
-
...are you not happy to know Aaron Paul..? I knew Tim Roth before he was famous and it's become a pleasure to watch him become one of the most respected actors going. Actually if he was like JP on weed then I bet he was a really nice chap.

Need For Speed: The Movie... I always thought that was what The Fast and The Furious was doing all along. Maybe these people want to make it more like Drive instead?
by hank henshaw
Almost every NFS game since 2001 has been influenced by the Fast & Furious movies, but the 90's games were slightly different. Maybe this movie will be about a Porsche test driver? LOL
-
breaking bad with race cars, need for speed, cause speed is slang for meth
-
...and this is his first writing gig. Yeah, I don't see this going badly at all...

For some reason to me it seems like Paul, or maybe Jesse Pinkman rather might be a good fit for this movie, or one that makes sense.
by Sean
But i don't know if it will be a good career choice. I love a great car chase as much as anyone but i don't have high hopes for this...coming from the guy that stopped watching the Fast And Furious movies after 2 because they were THAT FUCKING dumb.

As for fantasty/sci-fi/action genre type of work, I can see Aaron Paul fitting into some sort of cyberpunk type of movie

"Yo, Ironman, you may know a lot about armored tech, man, but you don't know jack about slangin' shrinking gas, bitch."

Now there's a fresh and brilliant new idea!!!! Oh wait... listen to this... there gonna be a hot dude driving this car.. being chased by bad guys... and a really bad actress with fake tits and snippy attitude is NOT in fact his enemy, but his love interest! And his name is Jake "Outrun" Outrunski and that justifies the movie's title... Man.. this Hollywood thing is just too easy

Or four or five.

Oh, wait...

No, I mean, another Grand Theft Auto movie. One that doesn't star Opie from the Andy Griffith Show.
-
Mind you I've never seen a single minute of the series (currently my plan is to have it finish the series run, then I'll go and marathon this bitch from the start). but I've had a friend of mine who really digs the show tell me something I'd been curious about, that Cranston really does genuinely fully shave his head for the several month-block of them shooing a particular full season.<br> <br> My main sentiment I'm taking away from this, however, no offense to Cranston, but at his age, is he seriously not just a tiny bit of fear and concern that one of these times she shaves that all off.... that it won't fully grow back the the time he's done with the show?? I mean seriously! lol

ohhhhh I get it, baked, you're name literally every modern day VG from which a live action feature film should be made...
by TheSeeker7
Very nice, YOu should totally take that to like an open-mic night at your local comedy club.

I don't know about that, but he looks seriously cool with a bald head...it works for him, if you can make a bald head work for you that's about 80% of your worries in later life sorted for you.

I was won over by Pinkerman on the second epdisode of season two due to 4 scenes: one when he discusses their situation with Walter (the one he ends with "So there's that", which Walter later makes an ironic echo), the scene when he catches Walter smoking HIS weed, when he's looking for the right plastic recipient and does a little p+hysical comedy work, and later when he tried to be a smart-ass to Walter and tells him he used his bathtub. His reaction shot to how it all turned out is priceless. Since then, i have loved Pinkerman. And the character has just became better. Thw writers and actor Paul Aaron do hit the Jackjpot.

Aaron Paul did a brillant moment of comedy in the 5th season episode where he has dinner with the Whites.
by albert comin
It's a masterpiece moment of cringe comedy. I cried laughing.

End of Story.

So say we all.

And assumed he was playing Goose

wasn't it called Fast & Furious? Small indie film you might not have heard of, basically it took the cars from Need For Speed and paired it with the plot from Point Break. I'm sure I saw this film. Maybe this is a reboot?

theseeker, since baked took up the mantle from me, I feel I should interject.
by SergeantStedenko
It think the joke is that movies based on video games have universally sucked. HARD. Hence, the less than exciting news that we will have yet another movie to be thrown in the bargain bin at Walmart in less than a year after it is released.
-
Oh, wait... Seriously, wait.
-
"Fast And The furious 16"...I mean, really?...
-
NFS is'nt a bead of sweat on the hairy balls of Grid2 - "FACT!"
