Because We Needed Another Damn SPEED RACER Trailer!! At Least This One's Long...
Merrick here...
Slashfilm has posted a four minute mega-trailer for SPEED RACER. Actually, it's more like 3 minutes and 50-something seconds, but whatever.
Lots of new material in this. The movie still looks certifiably insane, and still strikes me as being set in an oversized level of Mario Kart (the mace weapon spinning out from one of the vehicles sealed the analogy).
Love the underwater shot looking up past the fishes as the cars jump overhead.

looks like a kids film.
-
A 4 minutes trailer? I thought the excessive hype surrounding SM3 last year or Iron Man today would teach some lessons. How naive I was...
And now, I gotta resist the urge to watch the damn thing. Can't wait till this fucker is released... -
Celldweller freakin' Rules!!
-
OOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
Remember when movies came out of nowhere an kicked your ass......fuck I'm old.
-
Speedracer is such a BIG turn-off and it's directed by two of my favorites...THE WACHOWSKI'S! The FLOP of may will be this Joel Silver produced car film!!!
-
ten thousand trailers enter, one trailer leaves.
-
How many z's should I type in a row?
-
liked that one.
-
but that was utter shit. I admit that while I vaguely remember the cartoons, I was never a fan, so it's probably that I just don't get it. I can't imagine anyone who wasn't a fan is going to pay to sit through two hours of that crap.
-
Oh my ...everytime I see Matthew Fox perform it's as if he was channeling Stephen Colbert. Or Stephen speaks through him?! Or maybe they're the same person. I dunno.
-
Dude I love celldweller, maybe one day they'll get past the world of trailer music. Though for some reason the song Switchback got copied onto my Zune like 50 times so when I put it on Shuffle its like every 3rd song, getting a bit annoyed. Added to the fact my external craped out on me so I am stuck with the music on my Zune until i get it fixed. Also I've noticed Muse is getting stuck in Trailer music hell.
-
elaborate: what exactly do you think looks crappy about that?
Fuck Iron Man. Go Speed Racer Go! -
That Alpha Wild Next Door guy was very miscast. Now I am starting to think that its probably everyone else. Namely Matt Fox. I don't know, this looks awesome though, its too bad America has never heard of Casshan, which its obvious Mr and Mrs. Wassjfljfsd are borrowing from.
-
Media OVERKILL indeed!
-
How can anyone who loves the cinema NOT be excited about seeing that. Maybe it will turn out shit, hopefully not, but at least that trailer is better than half of the films in their entirety that i've seen so far this year!
-
is it me, or does he come of as hamming up every syllable he utters? Like they told him it used to be a wierd japanese cartoon and to exaggerate and wildly overact every line? He's a better actor than this, I think. What's up?
-
For the first time the racing action seemed defined enough to be able to follow, and vicariously participate in the thrill of it. The line from Trixie "What are you thinking, Speed Racer" seemed to be about the main story, not some creepy seduction line. I bought the whole thing for the first time. Hope the Big Screen does it justice.
-
I remember footage for Reloaded coming out like crazy beforehand, all to cool music I hasn't heard elsewhere. The tradition lives on.
-
Looks like a 2 hour pod race.
And that's not a good thing. -
so effin stupid. I agree with someone above who said this will be the flop of the summer.
-
DARK KNIGHT trailer, at least one that's long. :PSeriously WB, let's go. Everybody else has one out (except Indy, and I'm thinking that they might not even do one.)and we still have 3 months until the film. Get on the ball gentlemen!
-
When I say "everybody else has one out", I'm talking about trailers, not teasers. Iron Man, Narnia, Speed Racer, Hellboy, etc...
Give me the bat. -
But I agree that it looks like we're not going to get it...
-
The song on the Speed Racer trailer ("Birthright") is also used briefly on the new Iron Man trailer. it's from his new album (no release date yet). He does get a butt-load of soundtrack work but you know he's gotta be gettin' paid! I like it that he makes REAL songs and Hollywood just loves usin them in their trailers.
-
With all the zinged-up colours it looks more like Mescaline Racer to me.
-
so there's no longer a reason to go to the theaters anymore.
-
I'M sold. Def seeing this!!
-
There were Wachowski brothers who made a movie called "The Matrix". I wonder if it's the same guys...Probably not...
-
I am looking forward to this as it really represents the state of the art in filmmaking today. I'm sure the same douche bags on here bitching about the CGI will say the opposite thing when the trailers for Avatar start to emerge. What will make or break this film (as is the case with all films) is its story. If we aren't invested in what happens then all the eye candy is useless.
-
racer x unmasked. do you have to tell everything, movie trailers of the world?
-
Why is the trailer showing Racer X, unmasked, speaking to Speed? Isn't that a pretty big "reveal" to be showing in a trailer? Maybe the "W" Brothers are banking on the fact that the majority of people watching these trailers don't know the significance of Racer X's identity. Hmm.
-
...on this being like the podrace in SW:TPM, and it not being a good thing . . . The podrace was one of only TWO things in that movie worth a damn. The other being the Darth Maul fight at the end. I'm a Formula One fan, and George Lucas (hold back the vomit, people,) put a lot of Formula One-style ideas in that scene. If Speed Racer is at ALL like the podrace in "Menace," then I will be one happy fucker.
-
I'd rather eat my own shit than watch "Speed Racer."
-
Right before he says this race is full of cheaters...I thought that was hilarious...along with Racer X grinning after defying the laws of physics and punching out that car driver flipping over him. Scene with Racer X driving backwards shooting the missiles fired by the semi was awesome.
-
Sorry for the delay in response. been sleeping for a couple. What looks like crap? Jeez, where do I start. Just ridiculous imho. I know it's based on a cartoon, but I still can't get past cars that include every gizmo under the sun. Where's the peril in a race where cars can regrow tyres, drive upside down on loop the loop tracks and all kinds of stupid impossible feats. I can accept it in a cartoon, but when you are trying to convey real people inhabiting a cartoon world it just doesn't work for me. I appreciate the style is true to the cartoon, but so was the flintstones...
If you are a fan and enjoy the film then good for you. Money well spent. But I shall rent it on DVD. -
In every trailer, there's one element/scene where a red holographic #4 car-blur-thing jumps off of a ramp, turns a corner, etc., ahead of the white #6 car. The white Speed Racer car then follows the same path as the red car-shaped "light trail" and moves into that same space a few frames later. What is that, and have any of you read anything about that effect? What is it supposed to represent? Thanks.
-
I thought it looked like fun considering the source material... but what's up with the Mach 6? I don't like it when they blow up the Enterprise every other movie, so I'm definitely not onboard with a Mach 6.
-
I think the effect shows the Mach 5 is so fast the it moves faster than the paint job?? I dunno
-
...This film is going to be shit.Very shitI mean '2Fast 2Furious' levels of shitness.That bad.Oh dear...
-
Because there were some awesome moments in there that are best left for the theatre. As the guy said, if this trailer didn't convince you, then you're not someone I want to ever hang out and watch movies with... Maybe you can buy 2 Fast 2 Furious and watch teh hell out of that since its chock full of realism and I'm sure you'll feel the danger the characters are putting themselves in hahahahaha! Because there's like no way futuristic cars with gadgets ever represent any danger... you know, kind of like how the Batmobile is totally invincible... but you'll all flock to the realism of Dark Knight and his Bat-gadgets! Anyway i for one am pumped for all the movies coming out, Iron man, Speed Racer, Dark Knight, hell even Forbidden Kingdom!
-
I dunno either. When I was a kid, we walked 18 miles uphill in the snow to school, Speed Racer came on before Ultraman in the afternoons, and he drove one car that had a five on it. Pops Racer could beat up 20 guys at a time, and the Monster Car was made of solid gold, and Speed raced in an event where if you lost your pineapple out of the car seat you got disqualified, but one of the pineapples had a diamond in it. Now, the red semitransparent car is #4 and Speed's car is number #6, but the new car is a #5, dogs and cats are living together, cars are flipping...It's anarchy, I tell you.
-
Why the hell is everyone taking this so seriously? It's not a NASCAR documentary, it's a goddamn fantasy film, based on a cartoon, for Christ's sake. I think it looks cool as hell; pure unadulterated eyecandy. What's so wrong with that? I like the original cartoon back in the day before I knew enough to call it "anime," and I like this. I think it's going to be awesome.
-
Looks my dog's shit after it eats a sack full of glow sticks and crayons. It all bright and colorful, looks like it hurt like hell to sit through, and stinks.
-
Movie of the summer right here! Can't wait!
-
I mean, it's based on Speed Racer the cartoon for God's sake. Of course it's going to be a suck fest. I can't believe they actually invested money into making this. The animated show was cheesy enough.
-
I like how they tumble around
-
...but in a technicolour gay carnival. In planes.
-
Who is this film for? What's it's audience then? Ten year old boys? Seriously, if they'd wanted to make money out of this concept, they should have made a video game out of it. It reeks of Matrix 3/Thunderbirds flop-ness. Does it actually have a story worth watching? Pap.
-
Speed Racer means diddly squat outside of the US and at a stretch, Japan. So expecting a juvenile audience in the US/Japan to carry the entire worldwide box office is asking A LOT. This film will flop, I'll put money on it. Transformers was a success because that show was pretty recent and was shown everywhere worldwide despite also being a pile of steaming poop. Movie of the summer, you asshat
-
Yeah, been trying to figure out what's up with that too. Googling produced no viable explanations. So I'm left to ASSume that the Mach 4 was originally driven by Speed's brother, Rex (aka Racer X) before his "death". Maybe it's some trippy way of showing Speed channeling his brother's skills during the race (although I believe Racer X is in this same race). Fuck if I know.
-
I guess they have to appeal to the audience for this drivel by including something with the same mentality as those who might actually pay to see this CGI crap in the first place.
-
that is how the title of this article was abbreviated in my igoogle links thing. I was afraid for a moment that "Speed 3, Fast as can Be" had been greenlit somehow. thank god that is not the case.
-
How many times can you watch cars barrel role in mid-air? Looks like a matchbox commerical.
-
Isn't it like a training thing? Like on videogames where you can race the ghost car to beat the time? It seems like it's showing that Speed is way better than the computer... or a previous racer.
-
The movie
-
aka 13 year olds... sorry your dora the explorer movie is coming soon, then you'll be back on more familiar ground
-
Skinny little body, big head. She used to be so hot, and then she went all skinny and nasty.
-
the part where racer x hits the jacks and punches that guy out thirty times now.
-
THE GAYEST MOVIE EVER!!!!!
CUMMING on your face and stealing your money this May. -
Have you ever seen anything so sucky?
-
your mom?
-
right, this movie has monkey in it and colored like a candy store. you're too grown up for this shit. but hey, that flying robot movie looks cool! and it's directed by that guy who did elf. whoopee!!!
-
...they're trying wa-a-ay too hard to sell this? I smell a turd! A pretty neon turd, granted, but a turd nonetheless.By the by, can anyone confirm the rumour I heard that Christina Ricca had her breasts reduced? Damn spoilsport if that one's true!
-
This is like "Springtime for Hitler" but for cars.
-
Thank you! You hit it right on the button. I just don't get these lame-o haters. The film looks amazing.
-
The studios have to know the reaction is mild to crap for this one. Why else would you deliver so much, other then to try and find images that just might per sway someone to see it? Either way I call crap, and wrong direction for this one! A Micheal Bay "Don't shoot me" version could have been fun for intense car chase/race scenes.
-
She definitely had some work done on them. Not so much a reduction as a reshaping, as she had a bit of a 'spaniel's ears' thing going on there for a while...
-
The company that owns the Speed Racer property has mandated that the movie not look too much like a cartoon, so they've had to make it look more realistic. Check out the differences from the first trailer to see what I mean.
-
That'll do me.
-
...meh...
-
That poor girl has one of the most unfortunate foreheads I've ever seen. Too bad plastic surgeons can't fix ugly to the bone.
-
I think she may have been a beluga whale in a previous life

I have a gut feeling this movie will do big, big business.
I'll be sad if that's not the case, but my spider sense tells me this could hit it big...
