Have you ever played the old school N64 video game Extreme G? There is a screenshot of it above, on the left. On the right is a screen shot from the trailer of Warner Bros’ upcoming film Speed Racer. Notice any resemblance? Alright, maybe not, but I was certainly transported back to the mid-1990s while watching this 4-minute trailer from the film, back to the days when I used to spend hours on end wearing down N64 controllers like they were made of paper mâché. It appears, at least to me, that The Wachowski Brothers have created a movie that captures that part of my childhood, that tripped out wicked ride that I used to call my Saturday afternoons. And I must say, folks… I’m digging it. If you weren’t sold on Speed Racer prior to this moment, allow this video to finish you off…
Speed Racer hits theaters on Friday May 9th.
