Blasphemy!

Also, the film MUST have bad lip-synching. If only to be accurate.

And what's with the popcorn? Oo;

This looks more colorful than a Mario Kart movie. Just look at that screenshot of them racing through Bowser's Keep!

It's like a Disney Channel TV movie.

And Jack Black, you're awesome, but... Speed Racer? No.

That's not Jack Black you silly babboo's. Read the article:

Emile Hirsch as Speed Racer
Christina Ricci as Trixie
John Goodman as Pops Racer
Susan Sarandon as Mom Racer
Matthew Fox as Racer X
Paulie Little as Spritle Racer

The entire movie was practically shot on greenscreen, given the ultra-hyper color/animated look to it.

He looks like Jack Black...

I don't know Dubs whether this'll be worth the plus ten dollars for the cinema.

lol @ you guys passing judgment before seeing a trailer.

Hell, even after seeing Die Hard 4.0's trailer, I thought it looked bad... I was wrong.

Behold the trailer.

I like the non racing parts. The CG part they need to work on them a bit longer.

Edit- You Tube version.

Saw the trailer on TV yesterday.

This is one I never expected, but movies are all about revamping pre-2000 stuff anymore, so yeah.

Still waiting for a Zelda movie. Preferably one based on the CD-i games.

Nowhere near. It's just a bit strange with color(much like that Dick Tracy film). A drug trip is if they made if faithful to the original cartoon by making it have too few frames and the audio a bit off.

And am I the only one that thought "F-Zero with wheels" when they saw the trailer?

LOL! It reminds me of one of those foreign asian films. The ones that base their shots and storytelling like manga. Those are the best! XD

I wasn't into seeing this movie before, but it looks promising. :3

I happened to be channel flipping while they were premiering the trailer on Entertainment Tonight. I was so excited I could CRY.

I was afraid they'd turn it into a Fast and Furious type movie. I'm very pleased with the way it looks now; a little corny but in a cool way.

I do admire that they kept the characters' appearance as close as possible to the anime itself. Also, that one picture of that kid (who's name escapes me) on the first post has a very pudgy, adult face. That kinda freaks me out.

I thought ALMOST the same thing. More like the lovechild from Rush 2049 and F-Zero. XD
