How To X-Cell
Lost leading man Matthew Fox (pictured) is in final negotiations to play Racer X in the live-action update of the 1960s cartoon "Speed Racer for Warner Bros Pictures, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Racer X is Speed's mysterious racing rival, an enigmatic soldier of fortune...
Fox is a solid actor--Often playing the good guy or hero--it will be interesting to see what he does with the darker role in a big film.
In other Speed casting news--Aussie actor Kick Gurry (Garage Days pictured) is in negotiations to play Sparky, Speed's hippie mechanic...
I haven't seen Gurry do his thing really--but at least he's used to having a unique name in real life--and probably won't mind being called Sparky...
The studio is planning a May 9th 2008 release.
