Default Speed Racer

Anyone into this 60's classic about a young man trying be the best racer in the circuit?

Kinda have fond memories about it, and even today, it's still a good anime.

Just so you know, Warner Bros. is planning to make a Speed Racer movie aiming for a release in theaters in 2008, directed by the Wachowski brothers of Matrix fame.

Here's the link just in case:

Okay, I didn't hear about this, but Paul Litowsky (TV's Hope & Faith) is cast as Spritle. Chim Chim will be a real chimp.

As of now, Speed Racer has finally begun filming! Wish them luck, folks!

I cannot wait to see how this turns out (or, more importantly, see the trailers for it)!
