Wachowskis Adapting Speed Racer?
Speed Racing is about to get pseudo-philosophical! According to an informant for IGN, the Wachowski Brothers, made famous for their Matrix Trilogy, may next take-on a live-action adaptation of the anime series Speed Racer.
Larry and Andy Wachowski, the creative force behind The Matrix trilogy, may write and direct the live-action, feature film version of Speed Racer for Joel Silver Pictures and Warner Bros...None of the parties involved would go on the record when asked about the project.
Fans of the series know that Speed Racer founded the "bullet time" effect used so heavily in The Matrix series when Speed first froze at the end of the series' title sequence and the camera spun around him. With these two bullet time legends in bed together, I can only imagine what will result. It will probably take two hours to cover four minutes of events, but it won't matter with how sweet that shit is.
It still remains unclear how a Wachowski Brothers take on the quirky series would differ from the original. I fully expect Speed's famous red ascot to be made of shiny black leather.

I wish someone would remake Death Race 2000. Skip any lame-o social commentary & have 2 hours of kick ass racing/fighting mayhem.
