The idea that the notorious Wachowski Brothers would end up making a 'family film' based on 1960s Japanese anime, Speed Racer, seems to be one of those odd outworkings of the film business. In May 2008 film-goers will be able to hand over their cash to go and see the story of the eponymous young driver and his all-wonder-car Mach 5 entering The Crucible cross-country race in order to save the family auto firm.
As for the game based on the movie, there's very little information currently available. It is likely, however, that it may involve a combination of racing and the various gadgets that Mach 5 comes fitted with.
