Speed Racer 2’s Potential Revival Gets Hopeful Update From Original Star After Scrapped Script

As a huge cinema fan, I remember being really excited for Speed Racer when it came out. Emile Hirsch played the lead, and the story followed him as he tried to protect his family’s racing business from this really shady businessman, E.P. Arnold Royalton, who was willing to do anything to win. The cast was amazing – Christina Ricci, Susan Sarandon, John Goodman, even Matthew Fox were all in it! It didn’t do well when it first came out, critics weren’t kind, but over the years it’s really found an audience and become something of a cult classic, which I totally get – it’s a visually stunning and unique film.
