Kid Cudi is adding even more to his acting resume. This time it’s for the film adaption of the video game series “Need for Speed” by EA with DreamWorks producing the racing action film.

The main character of the film is Aaron Paul (Breaking Bad) as he plays the role of local street racer who after being framed for the death of a friend, jons a New York to Los Angeles race to get revenge. Cudi has been cast in the film as a member of Aaron Paul’s crew. Also cast in the film is Imogen Poots and Dominc Cooper.

Really excited about NEED FOR SPEED. Mad love to Leslee Feldman, Scott Waugh & everyone at DreamWorks for believing in me. This is insane!
