Twilight Movie Trailer May Play with Speed Racer
Posted by Neil Miller (neil@filmschoolrejects.com) on April 30, 2008
We have been giving a lot of love to the upcoming film Twilight, based on the popular series of books by Stephenie Meyer, as it has become a huge sensation on the web. And thanks to all of the friendly “Twilighters” who have come to FSR to share their thoughts in our comment section on Michelle Graham’s Twilight 101 article, we seem to be learning a lot in a very short time.
One thing we do know is that Stephenie Meyer’s books, as well as the upcoming film which stars Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson, has a rabid fanbase the likes of which we have not seen in a long time. Some liken it to the craziness of Harry Potter, but I can attest to it being something else entirely.
It appears as though we are not the only ones who realize this though, as Warner Brothers appears to be trying to test the waters by including the first Twilight teaser trailer with prints of Speed Racer, which hits theaters on May 9. As Frosty over at Collider reports, the trailer is shipping in the can with every print of Speed Racer, meaning that it should be present for any advance screenings and it should (but is not guaranteed to) play with every run of Speed Racer. As of this moment this is still in the rumor phase, but Frosty is usually right on target — so its probably pretty spot on. We will keep you posted as we uncover more info.

I will definitely embarass myself in the movie theatre if a teaser trailer for Twilight plays, even if it’s 2 seconds long…I will squeal (and most likely cry) like nobody’s business…and I will be unashamed…because I will be too busy squealing and crying to notice the stares of concern (for my mental health) from my fellow moviegoers.

I’ll be calling my theater to make sure they include it in the previews. Otherwise, they can kiss my ticket sale goodbye, lol. We TwilightMoms don’t mess around! Bwahahahahaha! BTW, FSR has become my new favorite website - besides TwilightMoms, of course :)

i am taking my little brother to see Speed Racer for his birthday, so hopefully they’ll have the trailer playing and I can get some enjoyment out of it too :)

I always loved the Speed Racer cartoon and I actually like the direction the Wachowskys took when turning this into a full-blown movie. So I hope it will do well. :)

I HAVE to go see speed racer now, and about a billion of my friends on twilight nexus agree with me. I dont even want to see speedracer, but for the chance of seeing a twilight trailer I’ll do just about anything <3
