    Hot Wheels racing to theatres soon?

    Warner Bros. is moving forward with plans for a Hot Wheels movie with Joel Silver set to produce. Matt Nix (TV's Burn Notice) has already submitted a screenplay for the movie.

    A Hot Wheels movie has been discussed in Hollywood for years, with Mad Max and The Fast and the Furious having been looked at as potential models to follow, but nothing has come from it yet. McG was once attached to direct but is no longer involved.

    I'm surprised a studio would do this after the Abortion known as Speed Racer. I'll keep an open mind and wait for some images or a trailer to decide weather or not this is a good or bad idea.

    Hmm. Sounds like it would be more along the lines of the GI Joe movie (toy to film) rather than Speed Racer (cartoon to film).

    There have been Hot Wheels cartoons with interesting back stories. There was no way to really utilize them in order to make a series of 22 minute episodes, but the back story itself does not need to be terrible.

    What I saw of Speed Racer was, well, not much worse than that stiffly animated nightmare from the original cartoon. I even caught myself enjoying it despite some of the themes.

    I think it can be done. I hope they manage to add some fantasy/future element to it in order to squeeze in all of the Hot Wheel flavor. Robots and hot tubs. Stuff like that. This needs as much of a good setting as it does a good story.

    I love it how car movies speed into places.

    I used to collect Hot Wheels. Hopefully they put "The Demon" in it, and make a cameo for a "Redline"
