I always thought Speed Racer was old school, no actually I'm pretty sure it was, that's why this surprised me a lot, and they should have given the role to Shia Le.. whatever his name is, the guy from Transformers and Disturbia.
Stupid Brothers, they ruin the Matrix and now Speed Racer, I'm still going to see this though.

Uh, Shia LeBouf would have sucked ass as Speed Racer. Emile Hirsch is incredible, as seen in the trailer.

Also, I don't see how the Wachowski Brother's are ruining Speed Racer. It's not like they redesigned the whole series. They have all the characters and classic costumes. This is a retro future film.

lmao.

I saw that they were making this movie last year or a few months ago or something---anyway... it's just damn funny. I mean, you can't make Speed Racer cool. He's a tool, and the cartoon was completely terrible (why it was anyway near good is the "terrible in a funny way" genre). Now here's this. Ha ha ha, looks like F-Zero for Game cube or something when they're racing. Not like that hilariously bad cartoon at all.
Still, I WILL see this in theatres. It's going to be hilarious.

This is going to deal a devastating blow to Hollywood's interest in anime titles.

The only good thing about this movie is the music, judging by the trailer. I do like how they're trying to stick to the cartoon as much as possible. Maybe I'll go see it with some friends just for the laughs.

EDIT: Probably not.

It's very F-Zero for Speed Racer

What I thought too. A big turn off.

Looks amazingly classy although I think the Wachowskis can achieve greater things and really say something about our modern society

wait no I don't

Edit: Also technically they're not the Wachowski Brothers anymore (but I just said Wachowskis out of laziness not political correctness)

MAN this movie looks so amazing.

Like not just a movie, but artwork itself.



The only thing I don't like is that it pretty much kills my chance of an F-Zero movie.
C'mon hollywood, Chuck Norris is sitting at home waiting for the call.

I saw this trailer tonight when I went to see the Golden Compcfdnvz.

The trailer was the highlight of the night. I even had sex before the movie and it was still the highlight of the night. I even had Buger King before the movie and it was still the highlight of the night.

I'm sorry but I really don't see what's so warnable about this post. Also thanks for reminding me I need to change my email address.

NO.  Producers need to stop putting Shia into anything because he's an awful actor.

Emile Hirsch looks EXACTLY like Speed Racer from the series, so he's perfect.

Anyway, every trailer I've seen for this has made me more excited.  Matthew Fox looks awesome as Racer X, and I think he's going to be one of the best parts of this movie (for us Lost fans at least).  It'll be cool seeing him go from a serious role to something that is meant to be over-the-top. 

As much as I don't trust the Wachowski Brothers, I do think this is right up their alley.
