First Speed Racer Footage
Entertainment Tonight, the over-caffeinated US showbiz programme, is having a bit of a Speed Racer week. Yesterday they gave the world the first look at Matthew Fox as Racer X and today they have the first look anywhere of finished footage from the movie, which you can see here.

Consider this a taster of the trailer, which they're set to debut tomorrow and which should hopefully be online before the week is out. There are only seconds of film here, but we get a brief feel for the human cartoon look that the Wachowski brothers are shooting for, as indicated in the USA Today images. Also, we now can't get the Speed Racer theme tune out of our heads.

What do you think (of the footage, not the theme tune)?

Loads of colour and mad visuals so it's a big thumbs up from me! Even thought the Matrix sequels weren't entirely successful I still have loads of respect for the W.bros for making thought provoking sci fi with banging action scenes. I will without a doubt give this a watch ... Read More

L: broonie Will have to wait and see the finished article. I just think they need to make up for The Matrix 2 & 3 being big let-downs. i]Reloaded]Revolutionsssentially two MASSIVE art house movies that were billed and sold as mainstream holiday entertainment.  Combined with the impossible expectation and preconceptions caused by the success of the first film, the second two failed to really find their audience (although dical failure is often overplayed).
