Christina Ricci’s UK “Speed Racer” Premiere

The film marks the first writing/directing collaboration for the Wachowski brothers since The Matrix movies, teaming up once more with producer Joel Silver.

Talking about working on the “Speed Racer” set, Christina told press: “Larry and Andy (Wachowski) created a world that they love and created characters that they loved and are attached to. When we were all leaving, we were like ‘write the sequel!’ ‘We want to come back’. And they were like, ‘I know. I know. We’re going to. Don’t worry’. They were as sad for it to be over as we were.”

After being asked if the sequel would be started soon, Ricci enthusiastically replied: “Yeah, definitely. Yes, that’s definitely the impression I got.”

“Speed Racer” makes its way into theaters on May 9th.
