 <description><![CDATA[<!--paging_filter--><p>Those brothers who brought us <em>The Matrix</em> trilogy made a film version of the 1960s Japanese <em>Speed Racer</em> cartoon and they'll be premiering it on the last day of the Tribeca Film Festival on May 3. Andy and Larry Wachowski are releasing their first directorial project since we followed them down the rabbit hole for <em>The Matrix Reloaded</em> and <em>The Matrix Revolutions</em> in 2003, and this new Wonderland looks like a cross between <em>The Fifth Element</em> and <em>Knight Rider</em>. They traded leading man fav. Keanu Reeves for <em>Into the Wild</em> actor (and <a href="/2007/penn-s-good-boy">Penn's Good Boy</a>) Emile Hirsch. <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=auszi9bUr3o">He's a demon and he's gonna be chasing after someone!</a> (Apparently, that will be Christina Ricci, who plays hot babe girlfriend Trixie). Joel Silver, a frontman for the bashful Wachowski bros and producer of <em>Racer </em>and the <em>Matrix </em>films, <a href="http://www.usatoday.com/life/movies/news/2007-05-30-speed-racer_N.htm">told USA Today last May</a> that the film will have a &quot;retro future&quot; look and will center on Speed sticking it to the man (or, men in the corporate world) and trying to get famous on the race track. Go Emile, Go!</p>]]></description>
