Not sure about John Goodman as the father, need an annoying type but I'm certainly there in May. Looks like one heck of a year for movies.

Anyone know what the up-tempo music track is that's used in the last half of the trailer? It's kind of catchy.

Don't know but it made me want to fight someone, kind of like Mortal Kombat

A new trailer is up:
Speed Racer trailers and video clips on Yahoo! Movies
Looks fun!

Re: Here he come, here comes SPEED RACER...he's a demon on wheels.
I've recently purchased the first 3 DVD's of the original Speed Racer cartoons to refamiliarize myself with the material. I had not seen it since 1969 and the early 70's. I was afraid they'd dissapointed coming from an adult perspective, but they hold up for what they are!
I totally forgot or didn't realize the Racer X storyline and how he looks after Speed. I found that part of the story, and how Speed is basically a good kid who does the right thing as endearing. I hope they don't lose that quality in the film. (But given the modern audience, they may find that too old fashioned a notion. But maybe I'm cynical.)
I saw the new trailers and I am confused. Perhaps no one knows but the movie makers, but why the heck does there appear to be another Mach 5, or as I read, a Mach 6? The film does look good and the CGI works well, from the low res stuff on the web. But I think they should have only been faithful to the original Mach 5 and not add another.
One other thought, a friend turned me onto Initial D and I saw the first 2 DVD's of that series. It seems it has a similar feel to Speed Racer, from an anime point of view and some character mannerisms of that genre from Japan.

Re: Here he come, here comes SPEED RACER...he's a demon on wheels.
That's interesting Tony. Would it be a contrived element for this film? I have not finished re-watching the original cartoon, so I don't know.
I just downloaded the newest trailer at 1080 and it looks great. It's a pretty tricky assemblidge of clips of the Mach 5 and Mach 6 to appear as the same car.

I think there is a new series coming out where there is a Mach 6.
"Speed Racer: The Next Generation" (2008) |

Re: Here he come, here comes SPEED RACER...he's a demon on wheels.
Peter Fernandez looks to be the voice of Spritle in the new animated series, so he will SOUND like his older (dead?) brother Speed Sr..
In case you hadn't noticed, the official movie website has been redesigned (about time!) and has a new "international" trailer.
Also, if you go to the "kids" version of the site, you can find a clip of the movie from when the features of the Mach 5 are described.
Man, I can't wait for this one!!!

Love the new trailer - can't wait to see this one. Also came across a contest where you can win a trip to the premiere and a car from the film - a pretty sweet corvette. Thought some of you car enthusiasts might be interested:
