Speed Racer Movie: A Thrilling Experience 

Speed Racer 2008 Lens

The movie is based on the 30 minute Anime TV show popular in the US over 30 years ago, known here as Speed Racer. But I think the baby boomers that remember this animated favorite will find a different Speed today.

The live-action movie takes place in a future where racing has become an obsession, with the Mach 5, Speed's car, and the other race cars moving at unheard of speeds on a complicated racetrack.

This lens collects all the details we can about this upcoming family film. Take a look around and decide if this is a film for you. Plus let us know what you thought of the movie, if you did go to see it, below.
