New trailer for Speed Racer...watch it in full HD glory if your internet connection can take it. The courses remind me even more of Mario Kart than in the first trailer.
Now that the trippy stills have whetted your appetite, feast your eyes on the trailer for Speed Racer, in freaking HD no less. The race courses remind me of those in Mario Kart: Double Dash, particularly Rainbow Road, Dry Dry Desert, and especially Wario Colosseum. (thx, askedrelic)
These newly released stills from the upcoming 'Speed Racer' movie do a lot to lend credence to star Susan Sarandon's claim back in August that the Wachowskis' entirely unique vision for the film required the development of new, unprecedented technology and visual effects trickery. Her summary of the film's thematic elements: "It's all about cheating and betting and how things are fixed and everything else, but it's also about family values and pancakes are love."
At the time it was just a whimsical sound bite, but these new images make me head-splittingly happy, enough to buy all the way in to the pancake love. (thx joseph)
Update: Greg over at greg.org poses the question: Why does the media refuse to grant Lana (né Larry) Wachowski her right to the feminine pronoun?
