Speed Racer Will Look Better With Crystal Meth

The amazing car-fu in this summer's Speed Racer includes a dive off a sheer mountain cliff, and some kind of weird stilt-hop to avoid getting rammed. Two new international trailers just came out, and they show even more of the crazy buggy action. I'm beginning to think Speed Racer 's title includes the name of the drug you should be snorting to appreciate this film. Click through for a second new trailer.

Remember how dark the Matrix movies were? How gloomy and gray their pallette was? Well, the Watchowski sibs don't, judging from this new footage. This time, they're serving up a bright candy-floss-colored dystopian future, in which virtually everything is a shade of sherbet. My advice: wear your Neo sunglasses to the Imax showing.
