Well, technically it's a rendered CGI model, not a picture of an actual physical manifestation of the car.

Yeah, the first second with the classic theme song was really exciting.  But then it looks like they accidentally attached a preview for a troubled emo movie.  Since when was Speed Racer a bubble gum-ass queer?

After seeing the trailer before Iron Man last week, I decided my bran couldn't handle the massive amount of color noise/input this movie would have in a theatrical setting. I might pick it up on DVD though the reviews are awful , and it basically tanked box office-wise this past weekend.

Pretty much screeched to a halt this past weekend, I'd say.

Speed Racer hit the overseas market with all gaskets blowing. It earned just $12.8 million in 30 countries, to place third at the international box office, behind Iron Man, which remained the top film with a gross of $39 million in its second week. (It has now grossed $165 million overseas. With its domestic gross, its worldwide total has reached $342.1 million after two weekends.) Twentieth Century Fox's What Happens in Vegas actually earned more overseas than it did in the U.S., drawing an estimated $23 million in 36 countries.

It was pretty stupid making a Speed Racer film. Nobody gave a toss about it before, why should they now?

Yeah, Speed Racer is a cult import hit that's well dated and was always a bit pants.  Why not Johnny Quest?  Or go all the way down the cult path and resurrect Ulysses 31?

They would have been safer making a Stingray movie.
