Christina Ricci Doing Speed Racer Movie ‘Speed’

Christina Ricci will be playing Trixie in the upcoming “Speed Racer” movie.
Christina Ricci is joining Larry and Andy Wachowski’s live-action adaptation of the 1960s cartoon “Speed Racer” for Warner Bros. Pictures and producer Joel Silver.
Emile Hirsch, Susan Sarandon and John Goodman already have boarded the high-octane project, which is based on the anime series created by Tatsuo Yoshida for Japanese audiences and later imported to the U.S.
“Speed” centers on a young race car driver, Speed (Hirsch), and his quest for glory in his thundering, gadget-laden vehicle Mach 5. Ricci will star as Speed’s girlfriend Trixie, his formidable ally on and off the track.
The show revolved around Speed’s family. In the big-screen adaptation, Goodman will play Pops, a race car owner and builder. Sarandon is on board as Pops’ wife, the backbone of the family as well as the Mach 5 Go Racing Team.
Like a lot of others, I loved “Speed Racer” when I was a kid, so I suspect this movie will get a lot of nostalgic 40- and 50-somethings turning out to see it. Ricci is a perfect choice to play Trixie. Indeed, the resemblance is uncanny.
