International Trailers Race In For Speed Racer

I haven’t made up my mind as to whether the Wachowski Brothers take on Speed Racer is going to be something I’m interested in. I’ve never been a big fan of the cartoon, but I do love almost everything the Wachowskis have put out so far. Then there’s the trailer aspect, which makes the movie look like it was shot inside a pinball machine. Again, that still could be cool if it’s done right.

As more advertising comes out for Speed Racer, it’s becoming pretty clear that the stylized meshing of CG and live action isn’t something that’s being done with any kind of subtlety or cleverness. Part of the movie is live action, but the only way to create that cartoon feel the brothers clearly want to remain true to is to base the movie in a CG world.

While we’ll have to wait for the theatrical release to see how this works as a cohesive whole, there’s a bit more footage to marvel and gawk at in the international trailers for the movie. Two have been placed on iklipz, found through The Movie Box and embedded below. They also have links to higher resolution versions of the trailers, although they appear to lead to 404 pages right now. Frankly, these iklipz trailers gave me some problems playing too, so it may be we weren’t intended to see these trailers yet.

Check out the trailers below to pique your interest further (if you’re curious about the movie) or complain about so me more (if you’re not). Regardless of your interest level, Speed Racer is coming…

WTF ?! This more "family-oriented" trailer is the worst yet ! The dialog was so lame and over-the-top. The graphics look even worse as it exposes more of that phony video game look. Also the physics of the movie is impossible; they could've made the physics look a bit more realistic. You have cars spinning about and flipping all over the place. That breaks the suspension of disbelief every time. And, Ricci doesn't make such a cute Trixi for some reason. The graphics are "nice" that's about it. No contrast so I imagine it being tiresome after at the first 20 minutes. I've a feeling this will be a disappointment like matrix 2 and 3. Yeah, if youâ€™re like a stupid moth that likes to fly into a flaming fire just because it looks nice well then go go GO. LOL ROFL.

I'm confused, the things they were doing were beyond realistic, way beyond (racing down a road and flipping the car upside down to a new road thats ABOVE you?)
So are they actually racing inside a computer or something? Thats the only way any of this would make sense.
