    Well at least they didn't try to make it realistic, that would have been worse.

    I'll say the same thing I said about the chipmonks movie. It's either going to be really awesome or totally suck.

    Awesome.  I remember watching Speed Racer on Philadelphia's UHF channel 17 circa 1973 and LOVING IT.  L-O-V-I-N-G IT.

    So, how long before they cast this guy as Ken for a live-action Gatchaman movie?

    I seriously doubt it's going to suck. Speed Racer is being directed by the Wachowski Bros., the same guys behind the Matrix Trilogy and "V for Vendetta".

    I read somewhere that they developed a new camera technology that would capture everything in frame in perfect focus, no depth of field blurring, just like an animated cel.

    Besides, any movie that gets a full scale, drivable, totally accurate replica of the Mach 5 and Racer X's cars built is okay in my book.  ;D

    I like the title sequence to the original version of Speed Racer, Mach Go Go Go. I wonder if that version is available on dvd?

    Uhh….

    Believe it or not depth of field blurring is an INTENTIONAL camera effect, as with some digital cameras it's possible to have both the background and character in focus.  Depth of field blurring is used to make the actors POP out on the screen, which is why you see it in movies so much.  So, not sure what they'd be accomplishing with that technology, and considering most of what's on that trailer is all special effects, I doubt the depth of field technology would be much use to them.
