Speed Racer the movie: Australian Release Date
Having been a big fan of Speed and the Mach 5 as a child, I for one cannot wait for the film to come out. The Wachowski brothers of Matrix fame, have put this one together. It obviously can go one way or the other, as this is one of those high risk catagories as turning a 1960′s cartoon into a film is obviously going to be hard work. I do like the cast though, John Goodman is pops, Emile Hirsch as Speed, Christina Ricci as Trixie could all work, and they also have Matthew Fox, Susan Sarandon and a few other actors I’m sure you’ve all seen before.
The Australian Release date is currently May 8 June 12, 2008, in the US May 9, and here is the trailer.

Speed Racer was funded by Automobile Corporations in order to promote gas guzzling, environment polluting , oil greedy fat ex-enron executives, mentality. Don’t let your children watch this stupid movie.
It’s just a big fat advertisement to get them hooked on the next generation of gas guzzlers.
Remember, there is still a War in Iraq, the Bush family invest in oil. Alternative Energy Technology is suppressed by George Bush.
presscott Bush was a founder of the KKK. and manufactured weapons for the Nazi’s.
what the f*** are you on about? its a kids movie you w****
holy shit you’re a fucking nutcase arn’t ya.
Thanks for your point of view, I appreciate it. I wish more people with alternative views had the will to voice their opinion.
However you do also have to notice, that this generation of kids, this is probably the least gas-guzzling film. Compared to films like fast and furious, the Mach 5 is a bicycle. Lets not forget transformers, and Gone in 60 seconds. Those films all had big block engine cars, or turbos.
However for some people like me car films are just an outlet. I like to think I’m practical, and it is just not practical in this day and age to own a car like the ones portrayed in all those films. However I do like looking at them, and imagining that I was driving them.
Thanks again, and please do keep ‘em coming.
Mate, It’s just a movie, but also, everyone is entitled to their own opinions.
Entertainment comes in many forms, and we’re lucky that they’re not using subliminal stuff (got banned in the 50′s) yet…or are they?
No, I’m not one of those conspiracy theory nutters, but I do get your point Georgia Indiana. I just think you may have taken it a bit too far.
What about ‘Cars’? My kids loved it, as did I.
Unfortunatley, we still live in a world that relies on a dwindling supply of non-renuable resources…then again, it doesnt have to be that way (watch ‘Who killed the Electric Car?’).
Hybrids etc are coming out, but yep, the oil companies do deals with the car manufacturers to make them so frickin expensive that only people with enough cash like Mel Gibson can actually afford the suckers.
Anyway, my 2c finished.
Again, you know what they say about opinions…but everyone is entitled to one ;P
