Including Christina Ricci as Trixie, and live monkeys as chim-chim..

let's put it this way.. this comes from a viewing of the trailer via Ain't It Cool News...

To me...the trailer felt like a Hot Wheels commercial that was aggressively sodomized by ULTRAVIOLET (you know, that strange Milla Jovovich movie where everything looked brightly colored, rather off, and really high-def?) It's surreal...but it's cool. It's just...ah...whatever. Watch it...you'll probably have a lot of fun with it

Just.... no. Stop.

Especially this line from the USA Today preview..

But Racer, says producer Joel Silver, has a trump card — or two, actually — in Andy and Larry Wachowski, the gadget-happy siblings who were huge fans of the TV series, one of the first Japanese cartoons to make it to the USA.

"The effects are beyond belief. We called it 'car fu,' because it was like kung fu with the cars," Silver says. "We couldn't have made this movie until right now."

Yes, from the Matrix Trilogy and V For Vendetta.. to Car Fu. *facepalms*

It's no alvin and the chipmunks or underdog...

I'll hold off on judgement on if I think this movie should have been made or not until I see how hot Chistina Ricci looks in it.

Looks like a fun movie. I might even go to the theater to see it!
