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.

Goldenarmz:

"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 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?

Again, I love the fact that the trailer has energy and hell, the cheesey lines and insane techno music don't bother me. I am a fan of the original so this does seem to get the feeling right, but having watched the trailer again, I failed to see any tongue in cheekness and am still very distracted by how poorly the live actors are intergrated with the CGI everything else. I do hope that's just because it's an early trailer and the film itself will look better, or else, why bother making a massaive CGI big budget film your effects suck? Again though, they need more than two good films (Bound = amazing The Matrix (first one)= fun but not nearly as good as the hype it had)

First of all, this movie looks like crap. Now, for my rant, to negrodiablo, what is your problem. It's painfully obvious that you hate American movies, or american people, or something, but theres no need to go and say it so rudely. Americans have made many amazing movies, and now because of this piece of crap, we're terrible at making movies and we're brainwashed? I'm sorry, but you're a little full of yourself. Not everything made can be great, so just back down, I've got nothing against you personally, or anyone who thinks this movie will be cool, but comments like your's are NOT needed.

Re: Crazy Dud

"To the below, the Speed Racer cartoon WAS cotton candy bubblegum crap! So your dissing it based on that doesn't hold up!"

I really dont understand your logic. So, the series this film is based off of was "cotton candy bubblegum crap," therefore, this film has the privilege of going un-dissed for IT'S cotton candy bubblegum crapiness? well, ignore us and enjoy your crappy movie.

"And BTW, Speed Racer came from JAPAN, so your American audiences being brainwashed by crap comment is pointless here other than to just feel proud of yourself by telling off America. Aren't you cool!"

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.


"It looks like what it should look like"

So i guess we can throw originality out the window. If you're gonna adapt animation into live action, dont make it cartoony. otherwise, we'd all be better off watching the original animation.

I havent watched a single episode of speed racer, and IM even offended. Offended that they can display such crap as an IMPROVEMENT on the original. Isnt that what adaptation is all about, bring a work to a new medium in hopes of IMPROVING it? What a waste.

If you're here to invalidate others' opinions, be prepared to be quoted, and "stricken" back.

I really like the feel of the trailer, I felt the colours and everything was very cool and trippy; the [link] is very original and cool.
However, I will not see this movie in theaters. For one, even though it might be tongue-in-cheek, the dialogue and acting looks just like Dick Tracy (over-the-top and stupid). For two, it's the Wachowsky brothers, I mean, the Wachowsky siblings. Their movies have really bad dialogue and are mostly stupid (yes the Matrix is a pretty good movie, but it's not as amazing as it's made to be). I feel that they're basically in the same league as George Lucas, but that's just my opinion.
In the end, it's made for the kids (I think) and I'm sure they'll enjoy it, but I don't know why this should be considered a blockbuster anyways.

Looks as good as could be expected. Was anyone particularly jazzed to hear the Wachowskis were making Speed Racer anyway?

I for one would like to see the bros. tackle an actual comic franchise; they could make an awesome Daredevil relaunch, for instance. Or on the DC end, a Flash or Green Lantern flick. That would be rad. They probably wouldn't since they wouldn't have total control over any existing property. If the studio heads were smart, they'd give them a comic franchise and let them run with it.

Although, it would have been worse if perennially tired looking Vince Vaughn would have been cast as Racer X. Wow, that would have been a tragedy of apocalyptic proportions!!!

yup, this fulfilled the promise of those lame stills. even on a pop-art production level the lighting in this looks crap, and overall bot stylized enough. the CG car racing doesn't interest me at all, nor does the techno music mixed with heavy handed family values / bad corporation plot. let the excuses begin... "its based on a cartoon, what did you expect?", "it's for kids!", "its..."... take it easy guys. anyway... I'm just commenting on the trailer, it does nothing for me, and if I go based on the wachowskis last 2 movies (matrix sequels) we're in trouble. Vendetta was surprisingly better then expected, but watching it again, you see how much better it could have been. and yes, they made a movie and I didn't so I guess my opinion doesn't count... right?

sorry friends and neighbours, i gotta go against the grain here, i think it has an awesome look to it, and should be quite a thrill ride. its based on anime, and keeping that look with real people is cool. remember, these guys did "bound", they know a thing or two about film. didnt everyone steal their matrix "bullet time" look? they are innovators, guaran effin teed the blur motion lok gets adopted by some big ass corporation looking to advertise to the youth, i.e. "hip" market. 2 hours of cool graphics onscreen is worth the $12.

Sure, Ben, it looks like Beowulf. And Beowulf looked like a video game. With the exception that parts of Beowulf looked beautifully real instead of the canned CG crap that I saw in this trailer. Oh, yeah, and the trailers for Beowulf made me want to actually see the film because it looked badass, as opposed to this festering pile of dog snot that made me want to sit on a howitzer and yell "fire for effect" rather than ever be forced to see this shitbug of an lame-ass idea. Dude, having real people in this film doesn't make it look any less like the Wachowskis are fumbling this project big time.

Beowulf was a decent flick, sorry if you can't get over the CG actors...

I'm not gonna go apeshit about the trailer, but it is engaging and i really don't see why so many people get horrified by the looks of it.

Sure it may suck balls in the end but I'm willing to give it a try.

Btw, I was pissed that they interupeted one of my favorite tv theme songs with that techno crap.

I'd rather have someone come over and do dental work, every day, from my backside, up through my ass.

I highly doubt this will be anything like Spy Kids. If the guys who were behind Matrix1, and V for Vendetta are involved, then its gotta be fun.
