Interviews: Aaron Paul & Dominic Cooper talk ‘Need For Speed’

Set for release on March 12th, Need For Speed is based on the video game series of the same name and follows street racer Tobey Marshall who, fresh from prison after being framed for a crime he didn’t commit, is hell bent on settling the score. With revenge at the forefront of his mind, he gears up for the ultimate cross-country race heaving with adrenaline-charged muscle machines and high-octane super cars. When his powerful rival Dino Brewster places a massive bounty on his head, the wheels are set in motion and the race is finally on.

In these interviews for Nerdly, film correspondent Phoebe Winter asks Dominic Cooper (who plays Dino Brewster) what appealed to him about playing the role of the bad guy; and star Aaron Paul (who plays the films lead, Tobey Marshall) what initially drew him to the project.
