Nathan Furst is currently scoring the upcoming racing action movie Need for Speed. The film directed by Scott Waugh is based on the Electronic Arts video game franchise and follows an underground racecar driver who owns a garage that modifies expensive cars to make them faster for racing and is framed and sent to prison when his best friend is murdered during a race. The movie stars Aaron Paul, Dominic Cooper, Michael Keaton, Imogen Poots, Kid Cudi, Dakota Johnson, Ramon Rodriguez, Rami Malik and Harrison Gilbertson. George Gatins has written the screenplay based on an original story he developed with John Gatins (Flight, Real Steel) who is also producing the DreamWorks Pictures production with Patrick O’Brien and Mark Sourian. Furst has previously collaborated with Waugh on last year’s hit drama Act of Valor. Need for Speed is set to be released on March 14, 2014 by Walt Disney Pictures.
