Here He Comes ...

Here comes Speed Racer! Actually, here he is, in a brilliant, candy-colored trailer that will blow you away (be sure to watch it in high def for maximum awesomeness).

And though he may be playing a "demon on wheels", Emile Hirsch is one (ahem) hot rod. Christina Ricci is his best gal pal Trixie, with John Goodman and Susan Sarandon as mom and pops and Matthew Fox as rival Racer X.

I was never a big Matrix fan, but the Wachowskis seem to have struck the right tone with this one; it reminds me of another highly stylized big screen adaptation, Dick Tracy. Speed Racer will zoom into theaters next May.
