The Wachowski's Speed Racer film is moving forward (filming begins next week), and the Mach 5 has finally been revealed. It looks, well, pretty much like it did in the cartoon. Which is fantastic. More details after the jump...
According to producer Joel Silver, the film will have a 'retro-future' look, and stars Emile Hirsch as Speed, Christina Ricci as Trixie, and Matthew Fox as Racer X. As for Chim Chim? They are using a real chimp. As for the racing, most of that will be CG. Can't say I'm too excited about that...
Personally, the Speed Racer cartoon was always my favorite. I grew up on that stuff- some of my fondest childhood memories are of watching cartoon cars go off the cliff during those heated races. Really, did anyone notice how many people died in flaming wrecks every episode? Freakin' hardcore, man.
