Hollywood has a ton of concerns about Warner Bros. "Speed Racer," (TWX) opening this weekend. It's opening into tough competition with "Iron Man," which grabbed a huge swath of dudes/geeks/moviegoers last week. Many members of that same demo just spent hundreds of millions on GTA IV (TTWO). Least important but not a great sign: Reviewers say its just not that good.
But here's one reason for a glimmer of hope for the big-budget Wachowski Brothers' film. In the battle for the video game tie-ins, Speed Racer is taking the lead. Reviews for the Speed Racer game (produced by Warner's in-house game group) have been generally good, while gamers have panned Sega's Ironman.
