First Speed Racer Footage

Entertainment Tonight, the over-caffeinated US showbiz programme, is having a bit of a Speed Racer week. Yesterday they gave the world the first look at Matthew Fox as Racer X and today they have the first look anywhere of finished footage from the movie, which you can see here.

Consider this a taster of the trailer, which they're set to debut tomorrow and which should hopefully be online before the week is out. There are only seconds of film here, but we get a brief feel for the human cartoon look that the Wachowski brothers are shooting for, as indicated in the USA Today images. Also, we now can't get the Speed Racer theme tune out of our heads.

What do you think (of the footage, not the theme tune)?
