Speed Racer The Movie
 
Okay well I'm really excited about the Speed Racer movie set to come out in May of this year. Link to trailer Link to Cast

Emile Hirsch(The Girl Next Door) is set to play Speed. I can't wait. I really like him and I'm looking forward to the movie.
I know I want to see it...do you? o_O

The only reason why I'm going to see this is because Bi/Rain is going to be in it. x3 He was cast as Taejo Togokhan.

Mm, well, and perhaps to relive memories of watching Speed Racer as a kid. ^^

Never heard of it, it probably still has to be released here in the Netherlands. :o

Check youtube they show anime there.

Ahh I vaguely remember the show. About all I remember is what the guy looks like and the monkey.

I saw the preveiw in theaters a few weeks ago. Look pretty okay, but I doubt I will go see it.

Teive 02-02-2008 04:18 AM

Yeah...the only people who will truly go see it is hard core fans and people who have celeb crushes on the staring actors. It's tragic really. I'm not a hard core fan, but I'm a dork so yes...I'll go see it. n_n;;

FrostsHellion 02-03-2008 05:47 AM

I'll go see it, i have no crushes to speak of (except john goodman :wink: , he was the bomb in blues brothers 2000) and i'm no fan of speed racer the cartoon but the movie looks like its gonna be pretty wild. From the same guys who brought us the matrix and who should be bringing us the dragon ball Z movie...

MasterChiefrei 02-03-2008 08:37 PM

I'm honored to say that my mom as a kid used to watch this show religiously and when I started to get hard core into anime she showed my brother and I this show. *we bought it at a HyVee when she saw the movie*
We haven't stopped making fun of her *kidding, not mean* since. XD She used to have a crush on Speed and the cheesy animation and such made us laugh really hard. So after the movie I started getting her gag stuff by buying her all the Speed Racer apparel I could find. And then when we knew this movie was going to come out I told her I was taking her to see it. Instead of rolling her eyes and getting defensive she agreed. XD
This movie does look flippin awesome and it'll be fun to see such an old anime classic to be performed as a live action film. ^w^

Teive 02-04-2008 12:30 AM

Yeah the movie looks great! I'm super excited to see it. I don't care is I have to go alone! I will watch it! lol

John Goodman eh? lol He's cool. He's like one of the best actors out there right now.

lol MasterChiefrei...you moms sounds cool XD You think she'll adopt me????

MasterChiefrei 02-04-2008 07:05 AM

XD My mom adopts everyone so I think you have a good chance. XD She's corny sometimes but lovable I guess. XD

Teive 02-05-2008 12:47 AM

Okay cool! lol I'm potty trained and everything XD

So...when do I move it? <3

k i w i 02-05-2008 02:54 AM

I really haven't much of a clue about what it's about, but I saw a preview for it a few days ago, and fell in love with the lighting, contrast, and the picture. I'm pretty well drawn to it just for that reason. xDDD

V!rtual Insanity 02-05-2008 03:07 AM

I watched the trailer awhile ago, and it looks like it's mostly meant to be a kids movie. I might see it anyway though. But I bet hardcore fans will be a little disappointed.

At first I wasn't going to watch the movie, I think Speed is kinda dorky but I wanted to see the movie overall for its effects n stuff but if Rain's going to star in it then I'm definitely watch this, maybe as a rent home one movie though XP

Taliah 03-07-2008 07:08 PM

Remembering the show, in retrospect is seems kinda cheesy, but I really liked it when I was younger.

I rememeber the little commercials that showed the cartoon on Cartoon Network and everything... looooong ago lol.

AzureWolf 03-07-2008 07:17 PM

I can't wait till that movie comes out. XD

soup 03-09-2008 11:26 AM

Looks so terrible. Might rent it to see Rain out of curiosity. He doesn't actually speak any english...should be interesting. XD I feel sorry for that guy, he really wants to be popular over here, but if you can't speak english it aint gonna happen.

dichromaticbeagle 03-12-2008 02:40 AM

I'm worried about how it's gonna be executed. The actor who's starring as Speed Racer has a...blank/constipated...look on his face. -__-;;

But I might watch it anyway! I used to watch the cartoon every lunch time when I was still in my grade school - early high school. X3

:"D OMG I AM SO EXCITED ABOUT THIS MOVIE.

xD Not only was it a great show, and not only does this adaptation look really colorful and well done and compellingly interpreted...

:'D THE MOVIE HAS RAIN IN IT. xD; I am very excited about this and curious to see how his English has improved!!! (Rain/Bi is a famous Korean singer/dancer/actor/model/person). :'D I am really excited for him to be in an American film..! xD; That is a big reason of why we will go see it, though the fact that it is Speed Racer is not lost on me..!

:'D It looks really fun, and I am excited about it~

Harmonia 03-12-2008 10:37 AM

I keep wondering why they felt they had to make a movie out of this. I used to watch the original show all the time and I just fear that Hollywood is going to mess it up as they usually do with these sort of things. :(

Eddafred 03-13-2008 11:21 PM

Me and my brother plan to go, mostly for the nostalgia, since we totally watched it when we were kids.
When I heard about it, I realised I still remember the first three lines from the theme song xDD <3

It looks a bit like a kid's movie, but we don't care! >D
We're lame enough to go anyway xD

KR3W 03-13-2008 11:37 PM

There is going to be a speed racer movie :o i'm excited because i always loved the speed racer cartoon xD
