I am excited about this movie. THey are going right for the "Racer X" storyline, which was the most compelling story of the first batch of cartoons. We have the first "season" on DVD.

This looks fun, even the Mach 5 built from scratch(although I think there may be a corvette influence) looks good.

Unfortunately, this is the Playroom, so I can't kiss and tell.

I never watched Speed Racer. Just a little before "my time".

But, damn will I be going to see this movie. It looks fun as hell.

Hirsch is one of the best of the actors of his generation.

I could do without the short Racer X, but it looks like fun.

It has a car with trunk full of kid/monkey! How bad can it be?

Ah, so Andy Wachowski and his sister are the force behind this. Very cool.

Well I didn't care that much for the cartoon...though hadn't watched it as a kid. The theme song was awesome though! and it has potential to be a fun movie.

If I had a car like that, all I'd think about would be automobile racing as well...

I'm waiting to rent the DVD. It doesn't look like a lot of fun (other than the child and chimpanzee locked in the trunk of a car).

Goodman giving serious dialogue while dressed as a Mario brother doesn't fly for me either.

Wow, from all the interviews I read before, I thought this would be more impressive. Just looks like sub-par green screen stuff to me...

Not a fan of the show, but the car looks incredible.

Yeah looking at the trailer, I would say that a good number of the compositing shots need to be tweaked to match the lighting on the green screen element with the virtual backgrounds.

Here are 2 that jumped out at me:

Notice how the Live action people elements are flat and low contrast? Tweaking the contrast on the GS elements would make them blend in with the backgrounds more naturally.

It reminds me of the Super Nintendo game F-zero.
