From a visual standpoint, the Wachowski brothers’ Speed Racer (Warner Bros. 5.9) looks like interesting comic-book candy. Here’s the high-def trailer, and the Quicktime version. I can’t say I’ve seen a feature film with this precise visual scheme (live actors-meet-cartoon reality) ever before. It’s like Sin City in color, minus the noir attitude. The more it went on, the more I was willing to overlook the McDonalds’ logo on Emile Hirsch‘s helmet.
