QUOTE Based on the classic 1960's Japanese animated series chronicling the aspirations of a young race car driver as he attempts to obtain glory, with the help of his family and the Mach 5, the advanced car created by his father Speed Racer IMDB So far cast consists of: Emile Hirsch John Goodman Susan Sarandon Directed by The Wachowski Brothers (Andy and Larry) Of course for me, this possibility is the most exciting: Matthew Fox To Play In "Speed Racer" |

OMG, I can so imagine Emile Hirsch right now, dressed up as Speed Racer. That was good casting.

i'm not at all eager to see this movie. it just isn't the same. i don't think it will even compare to the orginal, i'd much rather watch iron man...

it reminded me of the remake of Charlie and the Chocolate factory with Tim Burton. The colors look insane and I'm not sure If i'll be able to handle it.
I think I'll pass this time. |

It was alright. We saw it in IMAX (high definition), so I guess it made it pretty good. Although, it was kind of boring the first half, and pretty cool/intense the second half.

sweet! I loved Speed Racer
oh  I was hoping they were making another one..then I checked time stamps.I loved this movie so much...I really didn't think I would because like Josh talked and talked and talked about how good it was but I didn't believe him then I finally rented it. |
