Two International Trailers Hit for 'Speed Racer'!
Filed under: Action, Comic/Superhero/Geek, Trailers and Clips
Here he comes. Here comes Speed Racer. He's a demon on wheels! Good lord, I'm hooked, and I have to admit -- Speed Racer didn't really appeal to me until I saw the trailers. In case the last incarnation wasn't enough to whet your speed racing appetites, two new international trailers have hit the net.
Above, you get more of the usual -- color-infused, wild-arse racing -- one that at least briefly gives me flashbacks to Grease. (Speed Racer fans, I ask you -- which came first -- tire slashers in Speed Racer, or Grease?) That's the trailer you can check out above. After the jump, you can check out the second version. It might seem the same at first, but stick with it. Along with more dialog, you can check out Christina Ricci's pixie-bobbed Trixie. And, most importantly -- Matthew Fox's Racer X.
The film hits theaters on May 9.

I don't understand all the hate floating around for this movie. So far it looks like they took a psychedelic low-low-looooooow budget anime and turned it into a psychedelic big budget summer movie. That works for me. I'm not sure if the hate is from the disappointment in the later Matrix films, or people who loved the cartoon as children and have a set vision of how great it was (I did, and it wasn't). Either way, I'm looking forward to this, and the more clips and stills that come up, the more excited I am getting.

When I first heard about the movie, I was intrigued by the resurrection of a childhood favorite.
After seeing these two trailers, I am a lot more that intrigued. I am eagerly anticipating the May 9 release date.
