"What [the Wachowskis] are doing on Speed Racer is truly remarkable," Silver said. "They have seen the movie in a way that only they can that you never picked up before."
"We have a fantastic cast," Silver said. "Emile Hirsch is Speed and Christina Ricci is Trixie. It's really a great group and a great story - very colorful, and the races are just unbelievable."
Silver also talked about how the Wachowski brothers love the original animated show.
"They loved the original animated series," he said. "It was the first time they saw Japanese animation so it was important to them, and they wanted to capture what it was but take it to a whole new world."
