    Live Action Speed Racer

    http://www.usatoday.com/life/movies/new ... titialskip

    Emil Hersch as Speed, Jon Goodman as Speed's dad....rofl. Directed by the Wachowski brothers (same guys that did The Matrix, those of you living under a rock). Thoughts? I think it's going to be awful, but that's my completely baseless assumption.

    edit: pics http://www.slashfilm.com/2007/12/06/new ... er-photos/

    Susan Sarandon as Speed's mother too, and Christina Ricci as some other chick I forget.

    If it isn't completely ridiculous I'll be disappointed.

    Re: Live Action Speed Racer

    I'd need to see a trailer or something, these pictures look like the Wachowski Brothers made San Francisco Rush 2049 N64, the Movie.

    I'm really really worried though :D Speed Racer is almost certainly one of the most unwatchable cartoons ever made.

    Aren't they the Wachowski siblings now? Can't really call them brothers when one of them is a chick.

    The pics actually got me a little stoked to see this, this looks like it might be a good movie to see on mushrooms .

    Making movies was the one thing the U.S. was good at for a while. What're we good at now?! O_O

    In before "Ruining them."

    I think Emile Hersch is pretty good, but most movies with monkeys in them fail

    That's either going to be the greatest movie on the planet or the worst. "Car-fu" sounds interesting, and not unlike the topic of a random filler chapter of Ranma 1/2.

    Well I think it's pretty much over either way after Lost. Dude was a model and was in Party of Five and other old ass Fox drama's.

    If they adapt to the insanely fast pace of the cartoon movie will be about 10 minutes long tops.

    Re: Live Action Speed Racer

    I am currently trying my hardest to hate everyone involved in this impending travesty to death. Someone needs to explain to movie makers that throwing in a bunch of special effects will not make a shitty movie any less shitty, it just becomes shitty and expensive.
