It’s getting harder and harder not to be excited about Speed Racer. There’s a new trailer for the upcoming Wachowski film, and while it’s still as garishly colorful and intentionally cartoony as everything else we’ve seen from the film… holy hell it’s packed with exciting stuff. I defy anyone to watch it and not want to stand up in their seat and cheer a little bit. I don’t know what this movie is or what the hell the Wachowskis are up to, but this thing is either going to revolutionize everything we think about movies or it’s going to be a tremendous, blinding disaster. Having watched The Matrix over and over again until I actually start thinking I can bend spoons, I’m going to put my money on the former.

Speed Racer hits theaters May 8. Check out the movie’s brand new, full length trailer below:
