'Speed Racer' is coming to the screens this year. For those too young, or too old to remember Speed Racer, it was a Japanese cartoon about a boy who raced his Mach 5 race car and all the characters 'talkedreallyreallyfastwithoutevertakingthetimetobreathebetweenwords'. The Wachowski Brothers (Or One bro, and his newly transvestite sister) who directed the Matrix trilogy are at the helm of this one, and the trailers are incredible, they're using a new filming technique where the whole movie is over-exposed in cartoon colour, and everything on the screen is in focus at the same time, just like a cartoon.
I don't expect the movie to be 10/10, so it won't be for everyone, but it should be good for the eye candy, and to see the cartoon brought to life. So, anyone up for it?
