Go Speed Racer, Go!

Somehow I missed that there was a live action film in the works. Here is the latest casting news (http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20070402/film_nm/speedracer_dc;_ylt=Aq8IKRbdQ_U2ox8UORGCQ85xFb8C).

After Emma Peel's car, the Mach V was pretty darn cool, too.

I need to dig up some of the old video tapes, it's been years.

Aww - I'm hoping they go the Lancelot Link Secret Chimp route - that form of entertainment needs to be revived too.

Speed's real name is Emile?

Damn. No wonder he goes by Speed.


Do we know who is playing that role?

Will they also move their lips in Japanese while they speak English?

Speed Racer rocks! :)

[Kevy Baby]

Will they also move their lips in Japanese while they speak English?OK, that would be funny!

[Snowflake]

OK, that would be funny!

Well, to me their already up several points with the casting of Christina Ricci as Trixie, she has naturally manga eyes.

It's too bad they can't release ALL of the episodes. Some of them were destroyed in a studio fire.
I used to have every episode of Speed Racer when they were on MTV, I taped what they had.
Go Speed Racer! Goooo!!

A real chimp with a taste for actor blood.

I just randomly read this (http://rated-m.blogspot.com/2006/07/wachowski-brothers-are-no-more.html) which also included the link to this (http://rated-m.blogspot.com/2007/08/larry-wachowskis-sex-change-is-complete.html).

Chim Chim!

The trailer (http://j4ever.multiply.com/journal/item/194/Speed_Racer_Trailer) is out....

I'm not sure why you make the effort to do a live version and then make it look like a cartoon.... Still I expect I'll have to see it.
