New Speed Racer Poster Online! And we like it. Vroom! Source: Coming Soon
Hello readers. Today’s news story is brought to you by Artie The Movie News Music Hall Comedian.
“’Ow do, duckies? [Audience: ’Ow do, Artie!] Ooh, mind the pies! Mind the pies!
Anyway, who wants to see Emile Hirsch’s helmet? Ooh, steady missus, you’ll do yourself a funny turn! It’s not how it sounds – honest!
The poster for Speed Racer, the new movie from the Wachowski Brothers that’s filled with loads of hi-tech doohickeys and wotsits, is now online! I downloaded it this morning when I got back from the butchers. I went into my butchers and said, ‘do you have any bacon?’ He said, “I’m a butcher, aren’t I, you stupid four-eyed twit?” Ooh, mind the pies! Mind the pies! Slice of lemon!
Anyway the poster is a true teaser, and it only shows the helmet – ooh missus, do you want some water? - of Hirsch’s character, the titular Speed Racer, in splendid white with a red ‘M’ logo on top, while his souped-up car sits in the background. Which reminds me: I went into a French restaurant the other day and said, “Does this car go?” No, wait, that’s not right. It was something about snails. Mind the pies! Mind the pies!
What do I think? I think it’s a cracking poster, duckies, I really do. It’s colourful, poppy, fun, with a hint of mystery – and the tagline is excellent. ‘From The Creators Of The Matrix Trilogy Comes A World Built For Speed.’ That’s clever, that is. I wish I could write something like that, but all I can do is churn out second-rate gags and catchphrases. Mind the pies! Mind the p – aw, to hell with it. To hell with all of you!”
I won't be building up any hopes over this one, the Wachowski's have pretty much squandered their ability to hype me up. If they put up a poster of the monkey in his little hat however... ... Read More

What's the point of releasing a teaser poster when we've pretty much already seen all the characters and special effects they're going to use in the trailer that came out last week? ... Read More
...I think we MIGHT have to prepare ourselves for the fact that the Wachowskis might actually make release a shite movie here....oh...no sorry...my mistake, they did that already with the two Matrix sequels. ... Read More
