Speedracer! Trailer! Colors!
What the f is this!? This looks fresh and "zany"!
So this is the newest movie from the brothers Wachowski (Bound, Matrix, V for vendetta) and its a update on a beloved old cartoon from the 60`s. (fact: One of the first Japanese cartoons to make it to the USA where it was called "Mach GoGoGo")
With "Speer Racer", The Wachowskis have purportedly been rumored to invent a new visual style in filmmaking. They have been working on a new type of cameras that supposedly record everything in focus. This is to further amplify the cartoon style of the show. Interesting but will it work? Its not all gadgets and "Car-fu" as Joel Silver vommits out. Since the brothers are hardcore fans of the series they have also laid their love on the cars, costumes and the overal message of the series.
I wasent really expecting anything like this. This looks so far fetched and beyond anything Ive seen todate. Just from the corny dialoge and characters I got a lazy sunday watching hanna barberas "Wacky Races" on cartoon network feel from it.. And the style is Charlie and the chocolate factory meets Dick Tracy all covered in of Andy Warholes version of "hot wheels"
And you got to love any movie thats main rival is called "Racer X". Hah, take that youtube generation!
