  • Speed Racer

    Speed Racer is a go for a summer 2008 release.
    Christina Ricci is joining Larry and Andy Wachowski's live-action adaptation of the 1960s cartoon "Speed Racer" for Warner Bros. Pictures and producer Joel Silver.

    Emile Hirsch, Susan Sarandon and John Goodman already have boarded the high-octane project, which is based on the anime series created by Tatsuo Yoshida for Japanese audiences and later imported to the U.S.

    "Speed" centers on a young race car driver, Speed (Hirsch), and his quest for glory in his thundering, gadget-laden vehicle Mach 5. Ricci will star as Speed's girlfriend Trixie, his formidable ally on and off the track.

    The show revolved around Speed's family. In the big-screen adaptation, Goodman will play Pops, a race car owner and builder. Sarandon is on board as Pops' wife, the backbone of the family as well as the Mach 5 Go Racing Team.
    I sure hope the Wachowski's can do a better job with Speed than they did with the Matrix sequels.

          Re: Go Speed Racer Go!

          I am kind of wondering what sort gadets that the Mach-5 will have. Having the remote control robot is doable by today's technology (by the G button). The automatic jack (A button) would be doable but only when the car is not moving.

                    Now come on we have to be environmentally correct here. No clear cutting of a species habitat.

                    So who will be Racer X? And will there be that monkey?
                    Life is what you make of it...so please read the instructions carefully.

                      Man I remember watching Speed Racer on Checkers and Pogo. I think they play it on Cartoon Network or the Speed Channel once in awhile.

                            According to IMDb, it's going to be Matthew Fox.

                              Speed Racer to Hit the Big Screen

                              I just watched a segment from Entertainment Tonight featuring Lost star Matthew Fox as Racer X.

                              Since ET is featuring Speed Racer Week, tomorrow will feature Christina Ricci (as Trixie).
