A new international Speed Racer trailer has been released in QuickTime – speak: HD – over at the official site. Contrary to the trailers released before this one offers a better point of view so that you can see that there is something like a story involved. Of course, there’s new footage in it. You should definitely check this one out even though I think this a love or hate movie. Heck, I even wouldn’t need a story to watch the awesome CGI.
That’s right. I absolutely love the super-stylized version of the old game Dethkarz – well, it’s not based on this game but it sure looks a lot like it – and for that reason alone I’m gonna watch this movie. The new footage cuts right to the chase and depicts some glorious sequences. I hope I’m in for a wild ride when the movie comes to a theater near me on May 9th.
It’s been a while since I last had something to say about this particular movie. Ah, well, I didn’t say all that much, did I? Mostly, the last bit of information has been about the movie posters. Anyway, a review of the film as surfaced over at AICN. Some guy managed to attend a promotional screening in Los Angeles and he has to say quite a few things about the movie. According to him the martial arts sequences are breathtaking and there are a lot of different fighting styles involved.
Apparently, there are some hilarious one-liners that are quite memorable. The most important information, however, regards the evenly distributed screen time: Obviously, nobody is favored and nobody seems subservient. The author’s recommendation is to get a ticket and I that’s exactly what I’m gonna do. I’m really looking forward to watching Jackie Chan and Jet Li in their first collaborative project.
