Wachowski Bros. Developing SPEED RACER ?
Source: IGN Filmforce June 2, 2006


The last time we heard anything about Warner Bros.' live-action big screen adaptation of Japanese cartoon series Speed Racer was about two years ago. Back then, it was reported that Vince Vaughn was in talks to star as Racer X in the film, being produced by Joel Silver and Richard and Lauren Shuler Donner.

Now, IGN Filmforce has learned that Larry and Andy Wachowski, the creators of "The Matrix" trilogy, may write and direct the feature film.

The site says that none of the parties involved would go on record when asked about the project.

Racer X is the long-lost but protective brother of the title character, the young driver who travels from race to race with his family.
