Man that is f'n awesome. Movie is due for 2008. I havent found much info as of yet, but I am excited as heck :bow:

Oh and did I mention that is it being done by the Wachowski brothers!!!

Emile Hirsch plays the title role; cast includes John Goodman and Susan Sarandon.

that looks better than I thought it would of

Christina Ricci is slated to play Trixie :ponder:

I'm officially intrigued.

Roll'in on Blk Chrome DUBS yo!!...

Christina Ricci is Trixie!!...oooo Baby!!

Wonder if they will use a Real monkey?
or a CGI monkey??

They got that doctor dude from the show "LOST"
as Racer X

Ehmmmm.... I vaguely remember speed racer as the old cartoon. I just kept thinking "why the f@ck is there a freaking monkey and a little bratty kid on a racing team".

Racer X was cool.

Speed was not.

How can I steal this car?

And why the ____ are the guys from "The Matrix" involved? Their movies always suck.

interesting.

awesome. im waiting!!!

they are using a real chimp!

UPDATE! Finally some stills from the movie. Check out Spritle and Chim Chim!

I dunno it looks like Japanese Anime on LSD...lol....I would of thought they UPDATE the costumes...or something!!!!...NO they are copying the exact Original character outfits!...Geezus!....

Hope its good!!

Enjoy this trailer. The film style looks to be blending animation with live action. It would appear the idea is to maintain a "cartoon" feel while giving the audience real characters and believable enviroments and action.
