- FullMetalMonkey, on 10/11/2007, -0/+27Little does anyone know that Racer X is actually Speed Racer's older brother who mysteriously disappeared years ago only to re-surface as Racer X who is actually Speeds older brother is disguise!
- pfeester, on 10/11/2007, -1/+17Christina Ricci as Trixie? Wouldn't of believed it would work until I saw her with the haircut...cute. Hot. Cute-hot.
- guitarh3ro, on 10/11/2007, -1/+17Damn, they did a really good job making it look dead on.
- conman16x, on 10/11/2007, -0/+16I really hope this movie is going to be as silly as the show was!
- mos6507, on 10/11/2007, -0/+13I'm so glad they didn't "reinvent" it to be too modern. It's way too iconic for that.
- PizzaMan99, on 10/11/2007, -1/+14I want it.
- Cruelapollo, on 10/11/2007, -0/+10"Damn, they did a really good job making it look dead on."
Except they forgot the buttons on the steering wheel, what the hell is the point of a Mach 5 without saw blades? - Maeser, on 10/11/2007, -1/+10By the gods that Hirsch guy looks like Speed.
If I can say one thing, it's that those in charge of casting these days (for the most part) are doing some fine jobs. Kudos.
And yes, that car is an amazing replica. - inactive, on 10/11/2007, -2/+11Mathew Fox "I don;t want to give away too much about how Racer X fits into the series."
WTF, who DOESN'T know Racer X is
/killed by spoiler babies - NeoCortex, on 10/11/2007, -0/+8A couple of comments on the interview:
Christina Ricci's comment that Trixie is a strong female role-model? If I remember the original cartoon correctly, Speed was the most sexist character I could remember and was just shy of bitch-slapping Trixie on more than one occasion.
Matthew Fox can't divulge any info on Racer X's real identity because it's a secret. Didn't every episode of the show nearly start off with the voice-over guy telling you that Racer X was actually Speed's older brother in disguise? It was the best part of the show because it was so campy the way it was said every time he came on scree. - inactive, on 10/11/2007, -5/+13***** you, Racer X is Speed's brother. Digg me down now ***** LOL
- Dracos, on 10/11/2007, -1/+7I suspected that image was a rendering (not a photograph of the actual car) the first time I saw it, but now I know for sure. The black background is literally *black* #000000, which is impossible to achieve in a photo shoot.
@ mos6507:
This shows that the Wachowski's have some respect for their source material, unlike Michael Bay. - Tckob, on 10/11/2007, -0/+6WTF!!! Where are the buttons on the steering wheel. How is Speed going to auto jack his way out of danger???
- Tckob, on 10/11/2007, -0/+5With 20,000 hp how can you not be moved by it?....give me Lohan, sans Herbie
- cheekybastard, on 10/11/2007, -0/+4What about Sprytle? I want to see him and Chim Chim pop out of Christina Ricci's trunk.
- arcangelgabriel, on 10/11/2007, -2/+6I'm still a die hard 1966 Batmobile fan.
- demonotaku, on 10/11/2007, -0/+4No ***** it's dubbed the "Mach 5." What the hell else are they going to call it?
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -0/+4What the hell? Looks like an npr pledge drive.
BTW Ricci is the only one that didn't come across as a total moron. - gtech808, on 10/11/2007, -0/+4what about pops!!!!!!!
- PopcornDave, on 10/11/2007, -0/+4I'm really hoping that they keep some of the same dialog from the cartoon. My favorite always was Speed saying, "Trixie, this is no time to act like a girl!"
- spdracerx, on 10/11/2007, -0/+4I assume you mean Chim Chim?
- Catchpen, on 10/11/2007, -0/+4No Digg for misinformation. They are Wachowski brother and sister now. Larry is now Lana. Pickle Surprise!
http://www.gothamist.com/2003/11/04/larry_wachowski_looks_womanly.php - Fragalishus, on 10/11/2007, -1/+4Great. Now instead of wanting to /be/ Speed Racer like when I was young I'll now want to punch him in the face...repeatedly. Emile Hersch makes Hayden Christensen look like Charles Bronson.
Car looks awesome tho. Probably end up being the only thing decent in the entire movie, since Ricci won't be getting naked or anything. - aykay, on 10/11/2007, -1/+4wow, matthew fox is dead on racer-x.
let's just hope they get the dialogue right. - SurrealDream, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3You ever seen the Dexter's Lab parody? F'in genius :D
- betona, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3According to IMDB, it's John Goodman.

- PopcornDave, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2Yeah, it's not like they're going to use Alpha Team's Speed Racer sex remix in the movie. :(
- grapfx, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2There has been a guy in California that will build you one for $250,000 to any spec you want.
- Optimaximal, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1Just accept the Uzi 9mm and be done with it...
- Optimaximal, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1I was shocked it was her to be honest... I just keep picturing her as gothic characters, such as Wednesday or the part she played in Sleepy Hollow...
- smacksaw, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1Why does Racer X drop his gun after doing a hit on the Sopranos?
To make spoilers for people who are too lazy to watch quality first-run programming. - maehem, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1I need to smoke a cigarette after that. Was it good for you? ;-)
- Optimaximal, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1> Except they forgot the buttons on the steering wheel, what the hell is the point of a Mach 5 without saw blades?
It'll probably be a touch-screen in the centre of the wheel... the iPhone has made buttons uncool. - Elliuotatar, on 10/11/2007, -2/+3Japanese people in anime all look caucassian. So it makes perfect sense to use caucassians. If they used japanese people they wouldn't look anything like the characters!
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -1/+2Anyone remember the speed racer porno remix? Download the mp3 now from you favorite p2p networks!
See if this site works well: http://www.esnips.com/doc/28e4db9f-583f-4d20-95cb-a92743887558/DJ-Keoki---Speed-Racer-(Porno-Remix)
--the last half is the best part ^
Oh man I can't wait until the movie, these are great role models XD - TdiFFRob6876, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1CHIM CHIM?! Someone get that furball in the movie PLZ. Candy can be endorsed greaty if he's there. He'll be the next E.T.
- simplejoe79, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1nice car.....
- Sarlac, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1RTFA! Watch the video dude. It's a "real" car. Real as in a movie prop car. But a physical object none the less.
It looks amazing, but I have to agree with the "where are the buttons?" people. - eiknarf05, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1dead on cast.
- manbear, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1man, I hope they do the dialogue like the english dub of the series. Really bad voice acting, but oh so hilarious.
- PopcornDave, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1Then that's a good choice. Right size, ability to yell, etc...
- Optimaximal, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1I should think with 20,000 hp, it'll move a lot more than you think... a V8 Porsche Cayenne only has 521bhp and it can pull trees down
- smek2, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1I really liked the part were producer Joel Silver is talking about "a big fresh idea". Yeah the big screen, real live movie of a old animation series is really new and fresh. Can't wait to see the new "Masters of the Universe". Also, i hate those kind of interviews were the cast is praising the very movie they star in. It's called promotion, not honest opinion.
- IckyChris, on 10/11/2007, -1/+1I'm hoping that the first time they try the autojack it throws up a bunch of sparks, digs a long furrow in the road, and brings the car to a stop. Even when I was 10 I could see that wouldn't work.
The saw blades on the other hand. Yeah baby.
And I never thought Christina Ricci was hot. Until now.
- xXxRSXTCxXx, on 10/11/2007, -0/+0lovely. i have that pic set as my wallpaper. but the comments thus far has had me reeling. thanks for the laughs
- Elliuotatar, on 10/11/2007, -1/+0"Where the pickle? That's the surprise!"
- sfanetti, on 10/11/2007, -4/+3I loved speed racer - but who is going to play chimp chimp?
- crackedplastic, on 10/11/2007, -4/+2"This shows that the Wachowski's have some respect for their source material, unlike Michael Bay."
Guess that's why none of the Speed Racer characters are Japanese, eh? -
