Go Speed Racer!!!!!!!!

*Weapon X* · 06-21-2005, 11:46 PM

Release Date: Unknown; that will depend upon when filming gets started on this project

Distributor: Warner Bros.

Production Company: Silver Pictures, The Donner Company

Director: Hype Williams

First up the script will be handed in this week, with Vince Vaughn still locked in as Racer X. No other casting has happened. There are four major race scenes, each one getting bigger than the last and they'll map to video games quite well apparently. All of the racer's names are synonyms of speed (swift, dash, etc.).

The universe will be slightly futuristic to capture some of the fantastic aspects of the racing. The racing world will have a pro wrestling kind of feeling (good racers driven by good corporate sponsors, bad guys driven by evil corporate sponsors). The ending is an obvious setup for sequel.

The general plot follows Speed's brother, Rex, has left because of the guilt and fallout of his being ordered to run a popular racer off the track. Rex is thought to be dead. He faked his own death and came back as Racer X.

I watched these older shows from the 60's when I was little and they were fun but, they really don't need movies. Especially live action ones. Next up "Johny Quest".
