At SDCC, Joel Silver had some great things to say about next year's "Speed Racer" flick. Silver is producing the film under his Silver Pictures banner. The famously camera-shy Andy and Larry Wachowski are writing and directing.
Silver said, "What they are doing on 'Speed Racer' is truly remarkable. They have seen the movie in a way that only they can that you never picked up before. They loved the original animated series."
He added, "We have a fantastic cast. Emile Hirsch is Speed and Christina Ricci is Trixie. It's really a great group and a great story - very colorful, and the races are just unbelievable."
