Go Speed Racer Go!

Just found out today that Emile Hirsch (Alpha Dog, The Girl Next Door, Into the Wild) is gonna star as Speed and Christina Ricci as his girl Trixie in the Wachowski Bros. live-action/Greenscreen version of "Speed Racer".

!!!

60's Japanime meets The Matrix perhaps? This could be a complete bust but there's always Chim-Chim to bring things back around.



And who could ever forget the Wu's exploitation of Speed Racer...

When I saw this preview the first thing I thought was, "Why are you (INSERT VERY BAD WORD HERE) of my childhood?". First they gave Optimus Prime lips, AND NOW THIS? Where is the creativity and originality? MacGyver could make a pipe bomb out of an Avacado & Toilet paper roll, but i can't get a movie director to give me an original idea. they are even remaking the Thundercats, and if the first trailer that movie, does not have Lion-O Hepatitis Yellow, I am going to muther flippin lose it!!
