Speed Racer Movie

Speed Racer is coming to the big screen, courtesy of the Wachowski Brothers. Of course they are best known for the Matrix Trilogy. Many people cheered when they first heard the brothers were making this film. They have a knack for pulling off mind blowing special effects and great stories. Now there are scenes from Speed Racer available on the internet and some fans are not happy.

The movie is going to have a cartoon look about it while remaining a live action film. These are early clips put together to make a teaser trailer so it might still be really good. I, for one, grew up watching Speed Racer on t.v. and I am very excited to see the finished movie. When I first saw the trailer, I though it was a little cheesy. Then I thought it may have actually captured the essence of the original cartoon.

The only way to be sure the Wachowski Brothers do our memories justice, is to wait for the release set for May 9, 2008. Until then, click on the link below, view the teaser trailer and let us know what you think.
