Apr 13 2007Christina Ricci Joins Speed Racer
Christina Ricci has signed on to join Emile Hirsch as Speed, John Goodman as Pops, and Susan Sarandon as Mom in the Wachowski Brothers' live-screen adaptation of Speed Racer. Ricci will play the role of Speed's girlfriend Trixie, a girl whose slutty name betrays her prudish chastity. If ever a role was built for a girl with a giant forehead, narrow chin, and huge eyes, this is it. Or any other anime female.

Hold up. All these Speed Racer updates are confusing me. I was under the impression it was all a wacky joke. Sooooo, what? They're really for reals remaking Speed Racer?

Why yes, yes they are. And the Hollywood premiere will be projected on Christina Ricci's forehead.

I was kinda hoping they would cast someone attractive.
