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.

Speed Racer on Wikipedia 

Speed Racer is an English adaptation name of the Japanese manga and anime, which centered on automobile racing. Mach GoGoGo was originally serialized in print form in Shueisha's 1958 Sh?nen Book, and was released in tank?bon book form by Sun Wide Comics, re-released in Japan by Fusosha. From 1967 to 1968 it ran as a television series in the United States, with 52 episodes. Selected chapters of the manga were released by NOW Comics in the 1990s under the title Speed Racer Classics, later released by the DC Comics division, Wildstorm Productions under the title Speed Racer: The Original Manga. In 2008, under the name of its Americanized title, Speed Racer, Mach GoGoGo, in its entirety, was re-published in the United States by Digital Manga Publishing and was released as a box set, used to commemorate the franchise's 40th anniversary and also served as a tie-in to coincide with the 2008 film. It was published under the title Speed Racer: Mach Go Go Go as part of the company's DMP Platinum imprint. The actual television series itself is an early example of an anime becoming a successful franchise in the United States, which spawned multiple spinoff versions, in both print and broadcast media.
