I’ve been seeing commercials for this for a while now, and here’s the video of the “Speed Racer” featurette that was shown on the Esurance website.

Wow. Speed Racer. It looks like it’s going to be a groovy little film that will have absolutely no basis in reality whatsoever. But hey, if you want to do a movie like that, what more perfect a pair to helm it than the Wachowski brothers? Or is that Wachowski siblings? (Now that, you know, [...]
