Welp... after seeing the trailer on E.T (doesn't appear to be available online ATM). Im definatly gonna see this film. Sure the CGI is all kinds of wrong but the story itself seems to be cool. After all any film with ninjas and monkeys is aok in my book (seriously tho... Ninjas?!

)

HUH... Well they definately got the look of the characters down. It looks like it's at least well cast (Drudging up memories of Rosie O Donnal Betty Rubble, Mathew Broaderick Inspector gadget, and Jason Lee Underdog and Dave Seville). Looks a little too cartoony to me. Way too bright.

The Lazy Town remark hit it. But I'm still looking forward to it. Might just be a good adaptioon of a cartoon for a change.

Ooohh... Lks pretty good so far. Mayhaps a little too bright and cartoony, but it really seems like it will be very good.

I was kinda worried they'd all talk in stifled English, to copy the show....

I never really got in to Speed Racer, but the movie looks good. One thing I noticed (As someone who basically read about Speed Racer on Wikipedia this morning) is that they're having Racer X and Rex Racer portrayed by two different people.

LEGO Group on Wednesday announced an agreement with Warner Bros. Consumer Products to secure construction toy rights for the Speed Racer movie.

Under the agreement, LEGO Group will produce four constructible racing playsets under its LEGO Racers brand, scheduled hit store shelves in April, and ranging in price from $19.99 to $59.99. Many of the Speed Racer characters also will come to life in LEGO minifigure form, including Speed, Racer X, Trixie, Spritle, Chim-Chim, Mom and Pops Racer, Taejo Togokhan, Snake Oiler, Gray Ghost and Cruncher Block.

Wait... Gray Ghost??? Wasn't that Batman's fave superhero growing up???

A John Goodman looking Lego should be fun....
