EW.com has an array of new Speed Racer images on their site. You can click here to see them all (you'll have to click through the gallery and then use the odd scrolling zoom for a better look).
Some of these show effects that look a great deal more polished than in the trailers. We'd wondered whether the cartoonish, un-detailed, semi-Spy Kids look to some of the race sequences was a deliberate aesthetic choice, but it seems they were just unfinished effects. This is much more encouraging and has got us eager to see the finished product. It's lost some of the look that Helen O'Hara very aptly described as "the pod race if someone poured a rainbow on it".
What do you think?
