‘Need For Speed’ Release Date Moved To March 14, 2014

By THE DEADLINE TEAM | Friday March 29, 2013 @ 4:25pm PDTTags: Need For Speed

Need For Speed will open wide on March 14, 2014, five weeks later than its original date of February 7, 2014. The pic now avoids going up against Warner Bros’ Lego and Sony/Columbia’s Robocop and so far has the March 14th spot to itself. The Scott Waugh-directed Need For Speed focuses on ’70s-style fast-paced, high-octane cars and Tobey Marshall (Aaron Paul), who races at impossible speeds from New York to LA to get revenge on the man who killed his best friend. It also stars Dominic Cooper and Imogen Poots.
