That they would make a movie to resemble a video game is revolting.
The term evolved in the 1990s was, "convergence" to mean the melding
of different forms of entertainment and communication, but it should
have been
"contamination."
But I understand the slimy producer's motives. The movie may, may
make $100M. The game will bring in 4-5 times as much. The tail
doesn't wag the dog. I won't be seeing it.

Though I'm not the least bit interested in it, I think it looks visually stunning. It made me WISH I could get interested in it. If I was into the original Speed Racer (and I don't know anyone else who is), this seems like it would be pretty good.


For people who like this kind of thing, this is the kind of thing they will
like.

If I was going to say it, I don't think I could have said it any better than that.
