Speed Racer Movie Hits the Big Screen Headed By The Wachowski Brothers

Mach 5 of Speed Racer

Speed Racer goes to theaters, reported by USA Today. It’s not really a big deal with all the recent big-screen TV adaptations going on lately. But the fact that this is being headed by The Wachowski Brothers, creators of The Matrix, is enough reason for me to watch this movie.

I’ve been a big fan of The Matrix, it was the movie which popularized the “Bullet-Time” effects which simple kicks ass. And judging by the preview pictures provided for Speed Racer, I can’t helped but drool. The special effects are truly awesome!

The effects are beyond belief. We called it ‘car fu,’ because it was like kung fu with the cars,” Silver says. “We couldn’t have made this movie until right now.

That’s sweet! Aside from the heart pounding special effects, the producers have also included John Goodman and Christina Ricci in the project.

More pictures after the jump! :D

Yeah. That’s right Vincent. The effects looks pretty awesome. I’ve read that most of the scenes were shot in a green screen.

Better keep our fingers crossed then, the main actor they took doesn’t really look like speed racer from the cartoon series. Hehe.
