SciFi Wire reports:
Producer Joel Silver told reporters to expect a trailer for the Wachowski brothers' upcoming film adaptation of the anime classic Speed Racer sometime around Christmas. Speaking at a news conference to promote Fred Claus, Silver said the live-action movie is "a wild ride," adding: "There's going to be a trailer out at Christmas, and it's pretty spectacular. So you'll see it pretty soon."
Talking about his longtime collaborators, Silver said: "The Wachowski brothers can't do anything easy. You know, they want to make it as hard as they possibly can. So it's a movie that has a look that you have never seen before, and it's really a vast panorama for the story."
If you read the rest of the article, it talks a good talk. It peaked my interest. Deep down, I really want to forgive the Wachowski's for Matrix 3. Will Speed Racer make up for it? I don't know. What I do know is that I used to watch this cartoon as a little girl. Truth be told, I had a little crush on Speed Racer. I look at Emile in the picture up there and I'm not in love. He looks like he can work though. We'll see...

I think you have to look at Matrix 2 and 3 together as a unit that doesn't work well, rather than pinning the blame solely on 3.
After all...what exactly was the point of that freeway chase in 2?
not a fan of Speed Racer, so I have no interest in the movie.
I'm willing to let the freeway chase go because it was cool looking. I'm also prepared to look at Matrix 2 as a stand alone because I can't bare to watch Matrix 3 again as long as I live.
I just remember seeing Matrix 2 in the theatre and almost everyone was laughing at it -- including me. My hopes for Matrix 3 were so low that I don't recall being disappointed by it (or laughing quite as much). Bottom-line...both were terrible.
I can watch Matrix 2 for the car chase and those creepy twins. The bullet effects were decent. The dialog with Neo and The Oracle in the park was fun. My favorite was Neo fighting all of those Smiths. Even the French guy was funny. There was no fun in Matrix 3. There was nothing in Matrix 3 but an agonizing mess of cinematic feces. I'm not bitter though.
Neo vs. Mr. Smith. He's a chatty one that Mr. Smith.

well I have seen the Trailer for Speedracer and I have to say not impressed with it.
If I'm impressed,I'll be surprised. I'm going to try to like though.
