First Speed Racer Images Released


Emile Hirsch in the Speed Racer outfit

USA Today has released the first images from the highly anticipated "Speed Racer" movie. The Wachowski's have gone technology and gadget crazy creating this all-green screen update of the famous Japanese '60's cartoon.

We get our first look at Emile Hirsch behind the wheel of the Mach 5 as well as in his racing gear. Racer X (Matthew Fox) and Trixie (Christina Ricci) make an appearance along with Pops (John Goodman) and Mom Racer (Susan Sarandon). However, it's nice to see they went with a real chimp for Chim Chim instead of a CG one.

Matthew Fox (in black) is Racer X, who looks after Speed.
