Speed Racer Teaser Poster Revealed
Posted by Michael Avila on 12/18/07 at 09:02 AM

speedracerYowza! Now that's what I call a teaser poster. Warner Bros. just unveiled the first one-sheet for The Wachowski Brothers' big-screen adaptation of the ‘60s cartoon that introduced Japanese animation to many American kids, "Speed Racer."

I have no idea how the movie is turning out. All I know is that principal photography is done, it will be an almost entirely green-screen production, and it stars "Into the Wild" wunderkind Emile Hirsch as Speed, Christina Ricci as his girl Trixie and "Lost" good guy Matthew Fox as Racer X (who's secretly Speed's older brother Rex).

Oh, and those Wachowski fellows kind of know their way around groundbreaking stuff -- anyone remember a little trilogy called "The Matrix"? So count me as one of those guys who can't wait to see the Mach 5 running wild on screen - hopefully an IMAX one.

Oh, wait. Almost forgot. Here's the trailer:

Go Speed Racer, Go Speed Racer, Go Speed Racer Go-oh!!
