For goodness' sake, they brought Michael Keaton. I don't know if there's any 'just happens to' about this film's casting, because there's no way Paul didn't get ahold of this script, see the title, and then join the filmmakers in breaking out into a lung-cramping laugh.
or just a film based on the video game 'Need For Speed' that just happens to feature Aaron Paul (Walker! It is a rip-off!). I don't know if this film is a rip-off, but it's either a spin-off to 'Top Gun', or 'Need for Speed: The Continuing Adventures of Jesse Pinkman'.
