From the Wachowski brothers and producer Joel Silver, creators of the groundbreaking "The Matrix" trilogy, comes the high-octane family adventure SPEED RACER. Hurtling down the track, careening around, over and through the competition, Speed Racer (Emile Hirsch) is a natural behind the wheel. Born to race cars, Speed is aggressive, instinctive and, most of all, fearless. His only real competition is the memory of the brother he idolized—the legendary Rex Racer, whose death in a race has left behind a legacy that Speed is driven to fulfill.
SPEED RACER stars Emile Hirsch, Christina Ricci, John Goodman, Susan Sarandon, Matthew Fox, Benno Furmann, Hiroyuki Sanada, Asian pop superstar Rain, and Richard Roundtree. The Wachowski brothers directed SPEED RACER from their own screenplay. Joel Silver, Grant Hill, Andy Wachowski and Larry Wachowski are the producers with David Lane Seltzer, Michael Lambert and Bruce Berman serving as executive producers.
Based on the classic series created by anime pioneer Tatsuo Yoshida, the live-action SPEED RACER showcases the kind of revolutionary visual effects and cutting-edge storytelling that have become benchmarks of the Wachowski brothers' films. "Speed Racer" is a Warner Bros. Pictures presentation, in association with Village Roadshow Pictures, of a Silver Pictures Production, in association with Anarchos Productions.
Digitally re-mastered into the unparalleled image and sound quality of The IMAX Experience with proprietary IMAX DMR (digital re-mastering) technology, "Speed Racer: The IMAX Experience" will debut concurrently with the nationwide 35mm release in conventional theatres. SPEED RACER has been rated PG by the MPAA for sequences of action, some violence and language.
