He was also very good in "The Girl Next Door". But I'm still up in the air about how this movie is going to play out. I'm going to have to see some footage before I make up my mind.

They'll probably be basing this on the dub anyway, since that's the version people are most familiar with. If this turns out to be a hit, can we have live-action Robotech next?

I think Speed Racer could definitely be told as a G-rated movie. Bring it on.
And having car crashes isn't ruled out by that rating, because people don't always (or even usually) die in crashes.

I think that if the crashes are going to be like how they are in the show then they'll probably get a PG rating. I just think that MPAA (Whom I hate, but's a different story) we'll probably gives this a PG rating....I mean most everything gets at least a PG rating.

I agree. It's rare to see a G-rated film these days. If this film does end up being rated G though, I probably won't see it.

So it looks like John Goodman and Susan Sarandon might be Speed's parents. I don't recall his mom being on the show, though. But I think Pops should be played by Bob Hoskins, especially since John Goodman will make me think The Flinstones movie, even though he's actually a decent actor. (At least in the Cohen Bros. movies...) Oh, and for the record, the article's dated April 2.

Susan Sarandon would be a good team mother. She certainly can come across that way. And, at least they aren't casting her as the team grandmother!
John Goodman as Pops. I really don't remember much about the Speed Racer episodes that I saw as a kid but just visualizing Goodman in coveralls and a gimme cap on his head with tools in his hands works for me.

A few years ago, I had Brian Dennehy pegged as Pops, but they probably want the movie to be a lighter faire, hence the choice of Goodman.
