China Movie Channel, Jiaflix and 1905 Pictures are developing a new film that would be a U.S. co-production

“Need for Speed” may have had a bumpy ride in U.S. theaters last year but it was a runaway hit in China, where three top production and finance companies have announced plans for a sequel that will be developed as a co-production between China and the U.S.

Joint venture partners China Movie Channell Program Center, Jiaflix Enterprises and 1905 Pictures are teaming with Electronic Arts, the publisher of the hit “Need for Speed” video game series, on the sequel to Scott Waugh‘s action-thriller “Need for Speed,” which starred Aaron Paul, Dominic Cooper, Imogen Poots and Michael Keaton.
