Christina Ricci tired of playing tortured souls
Christina Ricci has revealed that she wants to concentrate on family films in the future.
The actress said she is tired of playing tortured souls and enjoyed the opportunity to star in her first action movie Speed Racer.
She is quoted as saying:
“I wanted to do a kids’ movie again. I wanted to do a family film. There are so many family movies for kids but they don’t actually teach you anything.”
“Speed Racer really stresses integrity and morals and a love of family, and that’s something I think is really important and a trend we need to bring back.”
Ricci played a nymphomaniac in Black Snake Moan, the lesbian lover of a serial killer in Monster and a damaged teen in films such as The Ice Storm and Prozac Nation.
‘Speed Racer’ Trailer No2
Another trailer for the upcoming adventure of gelled up petrol head ‘Speed Racer’ has revved up and its showing even more curvy cars with gadgets that’d make a certain secret agent jealous.
Flipping, slipping and swerving out of control, this new trailer is just as dizzying as the previous ones. The only slight difference is that we get to learn a bit more about the titled lad (but it’s still mainly that he’s a really good driver).
The Wachowski Brothers leave the dark universe of ‘The Matrix’ behind and step into the almost Willy Wonka-like world of ‘Speed Racer’. This new adaptation sees the world’s greatest driver in the race for his life as he aims to take the title of The Crucible, a race that was previously run by his older brother who mysteriously died in the event - or did he?

Speed Racer - Synopsis, Movie Stills and Poster
Based on the classic series created by anime pioneer Tatsuo Yoshida, the live-action “Speed Racer” will showcase the kind of revolutionary visual effects and cutting-edge storytelling that have become the benchmarks of the Wachowski brothers’ films.
Hurtling down the track, careening around, over and through the competition, Speed Racer is a natural behind the wheel. Born to race cars, Speed is aggressive, instinctive and, most of all, fearless.

His only real competition is the memory of the brother he idolized-the legendary Rex Racer - whose death in a race has left behind a legacy that Speed is driven to fulfill. Speed is loyal to the family racing business, led by his father, Pops Racer, the designer of Speed’s thundering Mach 5.
