Warner Brothers has released the official music video for the newly revamped version of the “Go Speed Racer Go” theme. It’s performed by some band called Ali Dee and the Deekompressors. As you might suspect, it’s 3-minutes of painful ear damage with tons of clips from the movies and apparently spoilers too (we don’t really give a rat’s). “Speed Racer” stars Emile Hirsch, Christina Ricci, Matthew Fox, Susan Sarandon, John Goodman and come out in May. We think it looks like a joke and asked a few months who the hell the film would be for? And Jeffery Wells says much of the same saying the marketing faces a big challenged (duh) and that WB is “generally concerned,” about how the film will play with audiences.

HAHAAA i totally like the ending where he does his “thumbs up” thing.
i HATE corny movies…but i will go see this
who’s going to see this movie? every kid raised on video games and synthetic fruit snack packs.
The Wachowski bros certainly put a lot of effort into making Speed Racer… the movie overall looked and felt like a cross between anime, a kaleidoscope, that Flintstones movie, a video game and the Dukes of Hazard
When I was a child, I drank organic milk and didn’t know shit about video games and I fucking loved this film. Go speed, go.
