Turns out that most camera cars meant for filming can’t reach even close to the speeds that the cars used in the film could. Working with such fast cars meant that they had to find a way to film it all. It was so important that they wound up reinventing the wheel so to speak.
Need for speed 2 movie movie#
The way the cast and crew talk about this movie you can tell that authenticity was important.
“ wanted to make a car movie for car junkies,” Aaron Paul says at the beginning and it’s pretty clear going forward that it wasn’t just Scott Waugh who wanted that.
Capturing Speed: Making An Authentic Car Movieįrom the get go, the folks behind Need for Speed knew they wanted to make a movie that was shot on camera. The making-of videos are pretty much all worth a look which isn’t something you can say for every blu-ray release. You can hear it all from the filmmakers themselves when you check out some of the features on the blu-ray yourself. There was a lot of love that went into this movie and it shows. But the effort they went through to make this movie look and feel real is astounding. From the get go the filmmakers knew they wanted to take the Need For Speed franchise and use that as a chance to make a real, classic car movie. I think you’ll feel the same way, too, when you see what went into the making of this movie.Īuthenticity matters in this movie. Because I think the look and feel deserve a lot more credit especially after watching the special features. That’s why for the purpose of this blu-ray release review I’m going to round up from Therese’s 2.5 stars to a solid 3 stars for the movie itself. But even if the movie itself isn’t that amazing the actual look and feel of it? That is amazing.
