Speed Racer (What to Know)

Reuters put up a video of a press conference for "Speed Racer," during which the Mach 5 car was unveiled. To answer questions, producer Joel Silver was joined by actors Emile Hirsch, Christina Ricci, Matthew Fox & Susan Sarandon.

Everyone gave very generic answers, especially Ricci, who is apparently playing Trixie to be a positive role model for young girls.

"Speed Racer" is based on the classic 1960's Japanese animated series chronicling the aspirations of a young race car driver as he attempts to obtain glory, with the help of his family and the advanced car created by his father.The conference took place in Potsdam, Germany, where the film will be shot.
