The movie will feature other characters from the show, including Speed's family and his mysterious archrival, Racer X.

Looks pretty bright and colourful... I think this is going to be great to watch on big screen... I am sure Wachowski brothers will make our adrenaline pumping.

Um, I'm gonna have to say, what the heck!? I personally didn't like the idea of making this into a feature film and by the looks of it I may have been right. To me it still looks like a cartoon. If you're gonna have a movie look like a cartoon then it should be a cartoon film not a live action motion picture, Honestly I still don't know if I wanna see this or not, most likely no but we'll see as more pictures and the trailer comes out.

I know it's modeled after a cartoon, but did it have to look like one as well? I thought this movie was a bad idea from the begining, and these cheesy photos confirm that for me.

Is this movie coming out in Imax format? If not, it should! They were saying that most of the movie is infront a green screen, so why not...I have to admit that last pic looks damn kool!

Even if the script falls flat, from the looks of things the visuals will carry it through. That bottom pic rocks, already can't wait to get it home in HD.

it looks like it will be a fun ride

I don't know about the track it looks too fake. Yea.. the ones in the old show were mostly mountains with giant waterfalls or gaps he would have to get over.Also it kinda reminds me of willy Wonka by its looks.

Gotta love the cast: Emile Hirsch as SPeed Racer, Susan Sarandon, Christina Ricci, John Goodman & Richard Roundtree from the "Orginial" "Shaft"!
What is interesting is that according to producer Joel Silver, this movie is going to be largely or entirely shot in front of the green screen like "300"!

The more I read about this film, & then look at the casting, & now these pics and the fact the the Wachowski Brothers are directing I'm game to see this!!!

Looks like a live cartoon, not the gritty realism that is standard for every movie. The bottom race picture looks wicked. The car appears to have 4 wheel steering...the Wachowskis will deliver again.

i was expecting something a little different, these images pretty much suck

December 6th, 2007 6:03am
that bottom picture looks sick. looks like the movie will be a crazy ride.
they're A LOT different than what I was expecting,
but than again, so was Matrix....
I have faith in the Wacho Bros.

The idea sounded kinda cool, but these images leave me with an unsure feeling that this will suck.

It's actually something I'm looking foward to..... maybe I'm the odd one out!
