Art Asylum Gives Fans Exclusive Previews at Booth #3913

NEW YORK, July 18 /PRNewswire/ -- The buzz is true -- Speed Racer is back for Round 2! With 2006 being the 40th Anniversary of Speed Racer, the rumor mill is muttering about a live action movie from the Wachowski brothers. But while Speed Racer fans await the good news, they can get their fix at San Diego's Comic-Con, July 19th-23rd, where Art Asylum will be premiering episodes of the new animated promos, as well as the video game, upcoming Speed Racer soundtrack, and toy line exclusively at Booth # 3913. Each day of the show fans can come by and watch the individual episodes while they meet the team from Heroes Garage and check out their amazing creation -- the real life Mach 5, which will be at the booth all week.

Art Asylum will kick-off the Speed Racer madness on Wednesday night with the debut of the behind-the-scenes trailer, followed by screenings of the first episode on Thursday night, the second episode Friday night, and the 3rd episode on Saturday. This all-new online animation comes from the creative talent behind The Venture Brothers, led by ANImagic's Jeff Nodelman.

Art Asylum will also give fans the first taste of the all new multi-level 3D online video game where you can 'pimp your ride' before taking on the adventure, preview the new toy line, and let them sample the new Speed Racer soundtrack which will come out at the end of 2006.

With the help of ANImagic, Heavenspot, and producer/writer "Tramp" of Supreme Team Productions, Speed Racer fans will be treated to this exciting new adventure that will be launched July 19th on the new website, http://www.speedracerlives.com/ , to help kick off the 40th anniversary celebration. The site also contains behind the scene trailers, downloadable music, and the free 3D, multi-level online video game where high score winners will be eligible for prize packages, direct from Art Asylum.

Later this summer, the folks at Art Asylum (http://www.artasylum.com/ ), in conjunction with Speed Racer Enterprises, are bringing out a new toy line packaged with the all-new, original animated promotional shorts that will be comprised of new story lines and characters for this cutting-edge, yet classic property.
