Like they say in Hollywood, “Lights, camera, promo!”. Oh, wait; that should be action, but you get where we’re going with this drift…

While the badass looking fifth-generation Mustang Shelby GT500 will take on the star automotive role in DreamWorks Pictures’ “Need for Speed” movie, it will be joined by the all-new 2015 Mustang that will make a cameo appearance in the film that hits theaters March 14.

This will mark the new Mustang’s big-screen debut before it goes on sale this fall, and possibly kick off more movie and television promotions.

Ford’s connection with the Need for Speed franchise extends to the game as well, as players already have access to virtual drives of the 2015 Mustang, which became available as a free in-game download in EA’s “Need for Speed Rivals” in December.
