Matthew Fox Talks Speed Racer and Racer X

Lost News — June 4, 2007 at 5:12 pm by Santa

Matthew Fox attended a press conference in Germant to unveil the very retro styled Speed Racer’s Mach Five car and discuss, as vaguely as possible, his character in the Whackowski Brother’s live action version of the classic cartoon.

The film begins shooting this month and is expected to keep Fox busy right up to the beginning of LOST Season Four’s shooting, which is rumored to begin in Los Angeles.

I have to admit that I am a Speedracer GEEK and was psyched as hell to find out Matthew Fox would be playing the mysterious Racer X.  The rest of the cast I’m kind of ‘meh’ about, but I’m sure Fox will carry the movie.

Add to that this almost impossibly faithful version of Speed racer’s Mach Five, and this flick can do no wrong.  (In my book at least.)  Unfortunately, they didn’t unveil Racer X’s ride, the Shooting Star, which you might say is slightly more bad ass than the Mach, but Soon.  Soon.
