Go, go, go, go, go! After years of idling, the big-screen, live-action version of "Speed Racer" is ready to zoom, this time with the creators of "The Matrix" at the wheel.
Brothers Larry and Andy Wachowski are writing and will direct the Warner Bros.
movie, their first directorial outing since completing the "Matrix" trilogy in 2003.
Prediction: it will generally suck, but there will be moments of near-redemption thanks to groundbreaking racing scenes and stunt work. In other words, The Matrix Reloaded.
May as well cast Carrie-Anne Moss as Trixie, Speed's licensed-to-drive-everything girlfriend.
Whoa! Suddenly, I approve.
The Wachowskis promise a family-friendly entertainment. That's as should be. Speed and the gang are heroes to the under-10 set most of all.
I myself discovered him while in kindergarten, and never missed an episode if I could help it. The great theme song. The iconic Racer X.
The urge to murder Spridle. As for Trixie, well, I've adored women who fly helicopters ever since.
