Speed Racer poster!

The most recent release of the SPEED
RACER trailer managed to get a ton of debate going on it (we
received close to 50 different opinions on it HERE
— or click HERE
to see the high resolution trailer), and today we’ve got the first
look at the poster for the film, written and directed by the
Wachowski brothers (or siblings, whatever!). The poster is
apparently a lenticular one in theaters, but you can’t really see
that from the picture below.

The film is poised to hit the big screen on May 9, 2008 and you
can also check out its official site RIGHT
HERE (although there ain’t all that much going on over there
right now). I’m still "in the middle" on this film. I dig
the Wachos and all, certainly appreciate the original spin on the
visuals and all that, but someone mentioned that it looked a little
too much like Robert Rodriguez’s crappy flicks (like the SPY KIDS
sequels and that flick he wrote with his 6-year old boy, SHARKBOY/LAVAGIRL),
so I’m still gonna hold out a little to see where this all goes.
That said, I am hoping that the flick comes through in a big
way!
