I worked on two movie sets, but never on camera. Lots of fun though.
Were they aware Road Atlanta is nearby?
I made my own movie once, and it went straight...oh never mind. Wrong forum.

Well, now that we've got the name, we need to write some songs. Can you play anything other than the skin-flute?

Seriously, Aaron Paul and Michael Keaton?
Loosely (very loosely) based on some the plot of NFS: The Run
Crappy movies based on good videogames are one thing, but what happens when a movie is based on a crappy videogame? 
Seriously sounds like "name the movie after the game in hopes the kids that play/played the game will flock in to see it" than anything else. Kinda like the "Doom" movie.
The only similarities between the movie and game are the title and the fact that both involve a cross country race and the main character is a criminal anti-hero.

i'm pretty good with the meatwhistle too.

Also starring "Han Soto". Apparently someone in the Soto family is a Star Wars fan.
Plot summary: Wealthy, evil ex business partner out to kill street racer. Hasn't that already been done about eleventy billion times?
