Round 2: Speed Racer Trailer and The Golden Compass
Friday, December 7th, 2007In this week’s FightCast, we fight about the newly debuted Speed Racer trailer and The Golden Compass, two of the biggest topics of discussion heading into this weekend. The very first trailer for the Wachowski Brother’s adaptation of the Japanese cartoon Speed Racer arrived yesterday, and is getting quite a polarized response. Alex loved it, while Peter thinks it’s going to suck. The Golden Compass is a fantasy adventure film based on Philip Pullman’s novels that stars Nicole Kidman, Daniel Craig, Eva Green, and Dakota Blue Richards, and is directed by Chris Weitz. Peter enjoyed it a lot but had some problems, and Alex has a similar opinion.
