While things have been in slow motion for rap artist Kid Cudi, he seems to be full speed ahead in another lane of the entertainment industry.

 

It was recently announced that Kid Cudi has been added to the cast of Dreamworks’ upcoming film ‘Need for Speed’ which is based off the video game series of the same name. Aaron Paul (Breaking Bad, Last House on the Left) will play lead in the film and more than likely Cudi will be one of his crew members.

 

If you’re wondering if the movie will be as intense as the game, check out how the press release for the film reads,

 

“The film adaptation will be a fast-paced, high-octane film rooted in the tradition of the great car culture films of the 70s while being extremely faithful to the spirit of the video game franchise. In Need for Speed, the cars are hot, the racing is intense and the story keeps players at the edge of their seat.”

  

The Scott Waugh directed film is scheduled for release February 7, 2014.
