Check Out the New Speed Racer Poster Right Here --- In Three Dimensions!
Another reason to rev your engines for the Wachowski summer flick.
The future of movie posters has arrived online: check out the new, moving 3D Speed Racer teaser poster right here!
Warner Bros. has unleashed the coolest one-sheet ever onto the net -- an online "translation" of the lenticular effect of the 3D teaser poster for this summer's Speed Racer, previously on display only in select theaters.
Instructions: mouse over the poster and click drag to see the 3D effect!
The official Speed Racer synopsis:
Hurtling down the track, careening around, over and through the competition, Speed Racer is a natural behind the wheel. Born to race cars, Speed is aggressive, instinctive and, most of all, fearless. His only real competition is the memory of the brother he idolized-the legendary Rex Racer - whose death in a race has left behind a legacy that Speed is driven to fulfill. Speed is loyal to the family racing business, led by his father, Pops Racer, the designer of Speed's thundering Mach 5. When Speed turns down a lucrative and tempting offer from Royalton Industries, he not only infuriates the company's maniacal owner but uncovers a terrible secret-some of the biggest races are being fixed by a handful of ruthless moguls who manipulate the top drivers to boost profits. If Speed won't drive for Royalton, Royalton will see to it that the Mach 5 never crosses another finish line. The only way for Speed to save his family's business and the sport he loves is to beat Royalton at his own game. With the support of his family and his loyal girlfriend, Trixie, Speed teams with his one-time rival-the mysterious Racer X - to win the race that had taken his brother's life: the death-defying, cross-country rally known as The Crucible.
Directed by Andy and Larry Wachowski and starring Emile Hirsch, Christina Ricci, Matthew Fox, Susan Sarandon and John Goodman, Speed Racer comes to theaters May 9.
