New movie trailer – Speed Racer
New movie trailer – Speed Racer
For those who remember the “Speed Racer” cartoon from childhood, or perhaps are leaving the imported Japanese classic with your own children, the latest trailer released by Warner Brothers should quicken your pulse.
While the colorful, CGI-filled film looks a far step removed from the simplistic animation in the original TV series, the latest trailer reveals many cues and characters that are immediately recognizable. Perhaps the most exciting aspect of the film is the creative team behind it: writer/directors Larry and Andy Wachowski, the creators of the “The Matrix” trilogy, with Joel Silver producing. These three last worked together on “V for Vendetta.”
The film stars Emile Hirsch (“Alpha Dog”) as Speed, Christina Ricci (“Black Snake Moan”) as Trixie, Matthew Fox (TV’s “Lost”) as Racer X, Susan Sarandon (“Dead Man Walking”) as Mom Racer, and John Goodman (“Evan Almighty”) as a well-cast Pops Racer.
This live-action film is scheduled for release on May 9, 2008.
Take a look at the trailers, and let us know what you think in the comments below. Also, read the experiences of our own speed racer in “Top speed testing.”
We Were Soldiers | DVD Movie Review - DVD Pick of the Week
Mel Gibson gives a winning performance in We Were Soldiers, an emotionally engaging military action movie that centers around a historic Vietnam War battle. The film is loaded with exciting combat footage, but what I like best about it is its portrayal of real-life career Army officer Hal Moore. Read my review of this movie on DVD.
