Looks like fun!
May have been on the losing side, still not convinced it was the wrong one.

Well, having never seen any of the original SPEED RACER, I'm going to guess that they actually captured the spirit of it very well. It really does look like a live action cartoon, and aside from the loudmouth British guy from V FOR VENDETTA and Matthew Fox being all badass at the very end of the film, it does seem pretty light and cartoonish.
The real question is if this is going to be a good thing or a bad thing. Because when I saw it, I thought "This is either going to really, really suck, or be just totally awesome." And right now, I'm seeing a few red flags.

As long as we're on the subject of anime being turned into big moolah films, Dragonball Z is going to be made into a live-action film, for those who haven't heard. James Marsters (Spike from Buffy) will be playing Piccolo.

Still on the fence for this one.

Probably , if the Japanese have a Yen for it , and vote their approval with their cashy money...
I didn't like Hirsch as the title character of 'Into The Wild' , (although it was a
quite-good film) but he looks more plausible in this...
...Does anyone know if the Japanese approved of Serenity on DVD ?

Though Speed Racer is right in my wheel house,it was my first favorite show, I predict this will crash and burn worse than 'The Hulk'.

Good, bad, biblically horrific, I'm still going to go see it. Likely to rent it, may even buy the DVD. I think I /was/ Speed Racer from the age of 7 to 8.
Every weekday from 3:30 to 4:00 Nothing in the world existed except THE SHOW.
