Speed Racer: new Italian TV spot
digg_url = 'http://carsplusmovies.com/2008/04/20/speed-racer-new-italian-tv-spot/'; This new trailer brings us more images, including the Mach 6 transformation AND it’s very cool to see it in Italian. It really feels like the movie will be a music-video paced visual overdose. Weirdly enough for a flick that seems targeted to a younger audience (try the toy section of your local Target store to see what I mean), it’s rated PG. Oh well, as they say: dal 9 Maggio Al...

Sunday Ads: 2008 Challenger in Vanishing Point
digg_url = 'http://carsplusmovies.com/2008/03/30/sunday-ads-2008-challenger-in-vanishing-point/'; When the new Challenger came out, an idea immediatly sprung in the gasoline-filled brain of many car guys: what about a new Vanishing Point remake? Something to fear, or something to look forward to? There was the very forgetable TV remake of 1997, with… Viggo Mortensen as Kowalski, and an original white Challenger, but a real attempt hasn’t been done yet. With the... Read More
Far out! New Speed Racer trailer.
digg_url = 'http://carsplusmovies.com/2008/03/13/far-out-new-speed-racer-trailer/'; Wow… Nope, you’re not hallucinating, it’s a real trailer. It immediately made us think of the the Hot Wheels AcceleRacers series and of video games like Trackmania. It feels like the Wachowski brothers were tripping pretty well when making this. They apparently came up with some good gadgets, but the overall look and some corny dialogues are a turn-off for us. We already... Read More
Wanted (2008) 2nd trailer
As we told you before, Wanted is on our watch list for 2008. And that’s not really for Angelina, but more for the promising car chases and some unique stunts. There’s a bit of The Matrix in it (controlling reality through mind power, some visuals) but it’s based on an original graphic novel by J.G. Jones and Mark Millar. Besides those great stunts, is it going to be worth watching? Verdict on June 27th, when it hits the theatres in the US. Watch the trailers... Read More
On our watch list: Wanted (2008)
digg_url = \\\\\\\'http://carsplusmovies.com/2008/02/05/on-our-watch-list-wanted-2008/\\\\\\\'; “Curb the bullet” It was during the Super Bowl that an upcoming movie caught our attention. Not because of Angelina Jolie, but because it looks promising for car scenes with some unique interaction of the characters vehicles: pay attention to the way Angelina enters the Viper when the latter is spinning. It looks like a sort of a reverse Parkour trick (the character doesn’t... Read More
