'Speed Racer' himself, EMILE HIRSCH, spills secrets to ET's KEVIN FRAZIER about the upcoming big-screen adaptation of the anime classic from the WACHOWSKI BROTHERS, in theaters next May!
'Speed Racer' week continues on ET as another one of the film's stars, CHRISTINA RICCI, gives us a sneak peek behind the scenes of the highly anticipated movie due in theaters next May.
Directed by LARRY and ANDY WACHOWSKI (The 'Matrix' trilogy), 'Speed Racer' is a live-action version of the popular '60s cartoon series, with Christina playing Trixie and EMILE HIRSCH ('Into the Wild') taking on the titular role. The surefire blockbuster also stars MATTHEW FOX, JOHN GOODMAN and SUSAN SARANDON.
"Lost" doc MATTHEW FOX has joined the cast of 'Speed Racer' as the mysterious Racer X, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Adapted from the '60s Japanese anime cartoon, 'Speed Racer' centers on a young driver, played by 'Alpha Dog' star EMILE HIRSCH, and his gadget-filled Mach 5 racecar.
CHRISTINA RICCI is set to go from indie film queen to big-budget heroine in the WACHOWSKI BROTHERS live-action adaptation of the 1960s cartoon "Speed Racer."
According to the Hollywood Reporter, the 'Black Snake Moan' star will play opposite 'Alpha Dog' and 'Lords of Dogtown' hottie EMILE HIRSCH -- who will play the iconic title character -- as his girlfriend, Trixie.
Oscar winner RUSSELL CROWE will make his directorial debut with 'Bra Boys,' a drama based on the counterculture surf community in Australia, according to Daily Variety.
The project reunites Crowe with Oscar-winning 'Cinderella Man' producer BRIAN GRAZER, who will produce the new project. Crowe narrated a documentary on the 'Bra Boys,' three brothers who began the underground surfer movement in the inner-Sydney seaside suburb of Maroubra. It has not been announced whether or not Crowe will also star in the project.
