Watch 'Breaking Bad' star Aaron Paul in the newest 'Need for Speed' movie trailer

Aaron Paul might mainly be known for his role as Jesse Pinkman in AMC's hit series Breaking Bad, but with the series concluded the young actor is already staying in our minds with a film adaptation of a popular arcade game. In Need for Speed, Paul stars as a drag racer looking to settle the score with his rival (Dominic Cooper) as they duel it out on winding roads in the fastest streetcars out there. This week, we're treated to the first full-length trailer for the film.

Check out this brand new preview of Need for Speed:

What's interesting about this movie is that director Scott Waugh had real drivers in the cars as much as he could. That means Paul was often behind the wheel in most of the scenes.

"Scott said 'the majority of this will be practical. So first, we're going to have to teach you how to drive like these guys.' So I went through a whole stunt crash course, and it was a blast," Paul said.

He added: "By the end of the first day I was flying down a ramp and doing a full 360 [spin] on a skid pad,"

As you can see from the trailer, there was a huge crash involved in the prologue of the film.

"We spent a lot of time trying to find that bridge, on paper it was just supposed to be on a road," the director explained in regards to the big crash. "I said 'I think he's got to fly through the air, tumble down the bridge, off the bridge and land down in the water. And I know we can do this practically.' Lance Gilbert and I really wracked our heads for a while about how to do this practically, because the studio was nervous, they thought we should do it in CG. I said no, I'm not breaking my rule, if we can't do it practically we're going to change the stunt. So we tested a lot, we tested for months during pre-production and even during production. [Lance] would do tests of how to get that car to lift off and fly the way it did. It was a physics conquest."
