HAHAHAAHA LMAO. That's like WipEout meets Rollcage and F-Zero xD How bad do you think the story will be?
If WipEout had to be something other than a video game it would have to be a novel. But it should have a much deeper story than just racing.

Guilty secret:
I have the full HD trailer of Speed Racer on my computer...
I feel so dirty...
As well you should; it's not even a cartoon. And certainly not a car 'toon.
It was those car fumes that did it...
With the quality of the star wars pod races years ago in the phantom menace the actual races could be amazing. Need a decent story to back it up of course.
I wonder if Uwe Boll is available........................
Movie preview commercials of Speed Racer are showing in my locality; the racing scenes look like pure CGI of a very unconvincing sort, like on an older game console except with lots of pixels so they look smooth. But they do not look realistic at all. It is certainly not the way I would want WipEout to look in any visual medium of any kind.
Speed Racer reminds me of this movie which was also about a race in futuristic cars and which flopped miserably due to poor plot but also poor racing action.
I didn't watch SpyKids 3D and I am definitely not going to watch Speed Racer.
I feel that the idea could follow a tournament such as Descension in Pure (example only, not my idea) and have pre- and post-race talks to and between pilots as well as news stories about the race. Another idea relating to this is to follow the tournament from the perspective of one team, the winner doesn't really matter.
The idea will work well if implemented properly.
Another idea is to follow the life of AG-Racing from 2004 to 2207 and onwards if there is another game out before the film.
to be honest, I think that would be better for Sony to rely on other brands than wipeout for a movie, the commercial impact of Wipe"Out' it's not as big as, for example that of an appreciated by masses brand like Gods of War.. (which I really don't like ndr)
maybe I'm wrong, but money is money..
