STRIFE IN THE FAST LANE Aaron Paul plays a street racer seeking vengeance in Need for Speed.
For his first post-Breaking Bad big-screen vehicle, Aaron Paul is trading high-grade meth for high-octane cars. Based on the long-running videogame series, Need for Speed stars Paul as a street racer out for revenge after being linked to the death of a friend. ''This set was different than anything I've been on,'' he says. ''You're walking through a very thick cloud of testosterone.'' Still, Paul says Need for Speed shouldn't be mistaken for a Fast & Furious knockoff: ''It's really a throwback to the Steve McQueen era of car movies. I think people are going to be pleasantly surprised.''
