Need for Speed mobile game is not over, going to the movies. Sony,Warner and Paramount  ready to bid.

Electronic Arts is already talking to a number of important studios about developing and launching a Need for Speed movie, with Sony, Paramount and Warner Bros. currently ready to bid on the project.

John Gatins, who is best known for producing Real Steel, Dreamer and Flight, is the man handling the pitch for the movie and he is also expected to write the screenplay once a studio is attached.

A seven figure sum is expected to be offered for the Need for Speed movie, which has been compared in terms of potential with the Fast and the Furious franchise.

Youtube to offer Paramount movie rentals.

YouTube said it would offer online rentals of nearly 500 Paramount films, including "Hugo" and "The Godfather," rounding out its growing catalog of feature-length movies.

The Paramount deal means that YouTube now has movie rental deals with five of the six major film studios, as well as more than ten independent film studios, giving it access to a catalog of nearly 9,000 films.

Consumers can rent the films, generally for 24 hours or 48 hours, for anywhere from $2.99 to $3.99.

The Paramount movies, which include recent releases and classics, will be available in the United States and Canada over the next few weeks. Consumers can rent the movies on the YouTube website, or on Google Play, Google's online storefront for music, games, movies and other types of media.
