New ‘Speed Racer’ Trailer Proves Wachowskis Have Completely Lost The Plot

Umm, seriously? This looks god awful. Directed by the Wachowski siblings (“The Matrix” trilogy), the film stars up and comer Emile Hirsch (“Into The Wild”) Christina Ricci, John Goodman, Susan Sarandon and Matthew Fox.

But seriously, what was Hirsch thinking? This is going to be the first blight on his near-stellar career path so far. And what’s up with the candy-coated aesthetic? Sure, the last two ‘Matrix’ films were ass, but this might be the nail in the coffin for the Wachowski’s.
