It looks like Speed will finally be hitting the screen in a live action film from the Wachowskis!

First Michael Bay with Transformers, now the Wachowski bros with Speed Racer. What can we expect next?

Patrick Sun · Nov 1, 2006

Umm... Robert Rodriguez does Space Ghost?

Chuck Mayer · Nov 1, 2006

Hey, I'll see anything the W Brothers do.

Jerome Grate · Nov 2, 2006

I'd buy that for a dollar

Count me in for the Speed Racer Movie.

Ricci on board to play Trixie and some of the other cast members are mentioned in the following link.

However, the big question for me is who is going to play Racer X? I hope they're not arrogant enough to think that he shouldn't be a part of this live action film.

I think Ricci is an excellent choice for Trixie,she kind of resembles an anime character with those big eyes.Very Excited about this movie,hope it lives up to my expectations.

If they alter the design of the Mach 5, even by a little, the movie will fail.

Kevin M · Apr 15, 2007

Quentin Tarantino's Johnny Sokko and His Flying Robot.

Todd H · Apr 15, 2007

Brett Ratner's Smurfs movie.

Raasean Asaad · Apr 15, 2007

Nope,

James Cameron's Star Blazers

Kevin M · Apr 16, 2007

Paul W.S. Anderson's......well...anything after that wouldn't be unexpectedly stupid.

Brian D H · Apr 16, 2007

Nah, a little is OK. They just have to keep what people remember. It MUST have two points on the front end and it MUST be white with the red "M" on the hood. Everything else is negotiable.

EDIT:
Oh, yeah - I forgot. It also must be the only race car every made with a trunk big enough for a chimpanzee and a small child to hide in

Who's playing Spridel and Chimchim!!??

Brook K · Apr 16, 2007

I like Ricci as Trixie and John Goodman as Pops, but Emile Hirsch as Speed kills any anticipation I might have had for the product.

Unless it includes the Car Acrobatics Team

Hippie mechanic?! Have these people ever seen the show?

Sparky wears high heels for cryin' out loud. Nothing about his character suggests "hippie".

Speed has Jet Li level martial arts skills. As a live action character he should have credible physicality. That's hardly Hirsch. Of course if Matthew Fox is playing a super secret agent/world class car driver, credible hardly seems what the producers are going for.

Raasean Asaad · Apr 22, 2007

If we see the Car Acrobatic team then who will play Snake Oiler. Better yet, who will play Inspector Detector.

Kevin M · Apr 22, 2007

Since when? The Speed I remember from the series was average in all things but his driving.

Brook K · Apr 23, 2007

Numerous times, he would take out gangs of baddies with flying kicks and fisticuffs. He was also a pretty good investigator who generally did Inspector Detector's job for him.

I've got all the DVD's so I've seen every ep within the last 3 years. I'm not speaking from distant childhood memories.
