At first, it looked like JT was to do little more than stand on stage and look pretty next to the pint-sized hatch, but it appears the four-rings has other plans in mind, including a new action driving series starring none other than the singer-turned actor.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re thinking a bunch of star-packed mini-movies sponsored by a German automaker sounds more than a little familiar, it should. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/make\/bmw\/\">BMW<\/a> followed the same recipe with Clive Owen in <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/2005\/10\/14\/the-hire-film-series-comes-to-an-end\/\"><em>The Hire<\/em><\/a> way back in 2001 and 2002. The result was a total of eight short films that remain some of our favorite time-wasters to this day. What can we say? You can&#8217;t have James Brown drag race the devil for his soul and not be a winner.<\/p>\n<p>From what we can tell from the short trailer, Audi&#8217;s effort looks to have all the right ingredients. There&#8217;s gun fire, car chases, tire smoke, good music and, of course, a hot antagonist (Dania Ramirez). Throw in any semblance of plot, and you&#8217;ve already got 9\/10ths of a Michael Bay masterpiece. Sign us up.
