After a recent discussion with a key member of the SPEED RACER team, our scooper passed this unconfirmed information on to us:
- The script will be handed in this week.
- Vince Vaughn is still locked in as Racer X. No other casting has happened.
- There are four major race scenes. Each one getting bigger than the last. They will map to video games quite well and that tie in is in the works.
- The universe will be slightly futuristic to capture some of the fantastic aspects of the racing. The racing world will have a pro wrestling kind of feeling (good racers driven by good corporate sponsors, bad guys driven by evil corporate sponsors.)
- The ending is an obvious setup for sequel. (i.e. didn't tie up all the loose ends) - All of the racer's names are synonyms of speed (swift, dash, etc.)
- Speed's brother, Rex, has left because of the guilt and fallout of his being ordered to run a popular racer off the track.
- Rex is thought to be dead. He faked his own death and came back as Racer X.
