Yesterday, the internets brought us the new trailers for two potential franchises, Speed Racer and The Incredible Hulk.
I don't know what to think about the Hulk. Ed Norton always, always does powerful work, and as you know I'm a big fan of putting "real" actors into superhero roles (Christian Bale, Robert Downey Jr.). But this trailer really didn't bring anything terribly interesting to the table. There are lots of reports of trouble in the editing suite on this one, and anyone who is surprised by this hasn't been reading about Norton's involvement on past films. I'm gonna wait for the next trailer before raising my expectations.
As for Speed Racer, I just think it looks unbelievable. Yes, it's cartoony and video gamish, but that's exactly what they're going for, albeit in an incredibly fresh, creative way. Just awesome stuff.
