Speed Racer trailer! Dec. 6, 2007
Source: AOL Moviefone
by: Ben Barna

This morning you got the first pics of the new SPEED RACER movie, and now here comes the trailer, which debuted on Entertainment Tonight, well, tonight. What can I say about this? To quote my friend George after watching it “it definitely has its own look.” I couldn’t have put it better myself, George. I think the Wachowskis have outdone themselves on this one. Any other director(s) would have turned this into a generic big budget CG extravaganza (sadly, those have become generic) but the Wachowskis have gone out of their way to create something utterly unique, a singular vision you might say. There’ll be a lot of complaints that this thing looks too much like a video game, but at least there are real people in it. Have you seen BEOWULF? Now that looks like a videogame. Check out the trailer HERE and SPEED RACER on May 9th.

Extra Tidbit: In 2004 Vince Vaughn tried to get this project going, with himself as Racer X.

I wouldn't call the cartoon a serious work of art. Any "bad american filmmaking" techniques won't stop this from making money with family audiences.

You people talking about this like it's a hacked up version a Kirosawa or Scorcese project need to lighten up a little.

LOOKS LIKE DICK TRACY
The only "live-action anime" I've seen that has yet worked was Casshern. I'll probably see this on a slow weekend, but I'm already cringing.

I had no idea that people cared so much about Speed Racer. Always liked the cartoon but I think that I will wait for Showtime. Until then, have fun ripping on it you sour pusses.

This reminds me of Inspector Gadget with Matthew Broderick or Spy Kids.

I JUST DON'T KNOW...
The Racer X costume looks terrible. I wish they hadn't took it so literally, and the only visuals that I liked was literally the end, with Matthew Fox cast in shadow... This film is obviously aimed at the children's market, but I don't think its going to work. That Racer X catching the punch shot is awful, needs a hell of a lot of work in reshoots!!

"You gathered all that from a 2 min trailer? wow."

Yes. Did you not watch the trailer? It was just as I said: bad acting, bad writing, bad lighting, bad filmmaking. And that whole comment was really all about differentiating the japanese anime from the american-made movie.

In a 2 minute trailer, you'd think they'd showcase some of the BETTER stuff of the production; you know, to get people to WANT to see it. But I have this wierd feeling that most of us on here arent digging the trailer.... hmmm.

But that's totally just ME. If you dig the trailer and that "style" (?) of filmmaking, then more power to ya.

And in defense of that (admittedly) poorly-written and very misunderstood "american audiences" mention, im guessing that that poster was talking about HOLLYWOOD films in general (which i can agree with). Hollywood films are made primarily for money (there are some exceptions though) and although i dont know where the whole "brainwashing" thing came from, i think it was just a figure of speech.

I DON'T GET IT
I never liked the cartoon but I gave the trailer a chance. This movie is going to be either a love or hate. I don't think there will be any in between. As I watched the trailer another cult movie came to mind, Aeon Flux. Both have their following but neither was or will be a big hit. Why not take out animation and just make it an action flick? It will never have the feel of the cartoon so don't try to make it the cartoon. The Flintstones, Aeon Flux, Transformers, Speed Racer, various other cartoon to film movies, what's next Space Ghost or the Groovy Ghoulies?

REALLY?
"This is a hollywood film, made by americans. You obviously dont GET that. We are talking about Speed Racer... THE MOVIE, an american production... made my americans... from america. The original source material being from japan has nothing to do with the bad acting, bad writing, bad lighting, bad filmmaking altogether, production value (or lack thereof), of this film.
"

You gathered all that from a 2 min trailer? wow.

Speed Racer was never a favorite cartoon of mine, and I wasn't excited to hear this movie was being made. Now after seeing the trailer I feel the same way. I really don't even get why someone would bother with a live action version. Looks like the target audience is about 6 to 12 years old anyway, so maybe the youngins will like it.
