Yahoo! has posted the first seven minutes of Speed Racer, the big-screen adaptation from the Wachowski Brothers.
The film hits theaters tomorrow, May 9, 2008, so if you’re like me and you really had no interest in rushing out to see this movie, then check out the seven-minute opening sequence — the video is here below. You might change your mind.
From the clips and trailers I’ve seen, I was worried that the movie would be one long Star Wars: Episode I pod race. Though, Speed Racer is visually superior, I’m just not down with cars and racing. But after watching the opening sequence, I’ll admit, I did get a little more interested. I have a feeling I’ll be at the theater watching it this weekend.
