SPEED RACER 2008 SCREENSHOTS DRIVER
He had a falling out with his father and had to deal with rumors of being a dirty driver before seemingly dying in a bad car crash. SCOTT PORTER plays Speed's older brother who influenced the younger boy's decision to follow in his footsteps.PAULIE LITT plays Speed's wild younger brother who's often acting up and out with his playmate, Chim-Chim the family chimpanzee.SUSAN SARANDON plays Speed's mom who's similarly concerned about his well-being.He becomes concerned about Speed as well as Royalton's influence on him. JOHN GOODMAN plays Speed's dad who runs the family's racing business and doesn't want him to turn out or end up like his older brother, Rex, eventually did.Her relationship with Speed edges on being romantic and appears to have turned that way at the end of the film. CHRISTINA RICCI plays his best friend and fellow former classmate who seems to live in the same house with the Racers.Intense and determined, he sets out to prove he's right, ends up having a brief falling out with his dad, becomes romantically interested in Trixie, and briefly uses benign profanity. Accordingly, he's torn when Royalton offers him a sweetheart deal, and must contend with the repercussions of declining that offer. EMILE HIRSCH plays a young racer who's following in his older brother's footsteps and enjoys the sport for what it is.WHY THE MPAA RATED IT: PG For sequences of action, some violence and language. WILL KIDS WANT TO SEE IT? It's a good bet many younger boys (and some girls) as well as fans of racecar driving and/or anyone in the cast will be interested. Beyond his best friend and former classmate Trixie (CHRISTINA RICCI), there's Racer X (MATTHEW FOX), a masked driver who wants to bring down the bad guys and thus is working closely with Inspector Detector (BENNO FURMANN) to put a halt to the corruption.īy participating in various upcoming races, Speed hopes to do what he can to stop Royalton, all while dealing with the mogul's corrupt but formidable drivers, including Snake Oiler (CHRISTIAN OLIVER). Wanting to remain independent and abhorring the corporatization of the sport, however, Speed declines the offer and thus elicits Royalton's wrath. Considering the abuse that fellow racer Taejo Togokhan (RAIN) has suffered at the hands of industry goons, it would seem wise for Speed to accept the offer. Speed's success hasn't escaped the attention of racing mogul and uber-businessman Royalton (ROGER ALLAM) who wants the younger driver to join his team. Speed never bought into any of them, and honors his brother by allowing his previous racing records to stand.
After a falling out with Pops, Speed's older brother and racing mentor, Rex (SCOTT PORTER), was apparently killed in a bad car accident following rumors of him becoming a dirty racer.
With everyone pitching in - including Pops (JOHN GOODMAN), Mom (SUSAN SARANDON) mechanic Sparky (KICK GURRY) and even Speed's younger brother Spritle (PAULIE LITT) and his pet chimpanzee Chim-Chim - they've developed a successful formula for winning. PLOT: Speed Racer (EMILE HIRSCH) is a young man who's quite good at auto racing, but that really shouldn't come as much of a surprise as his family runs Racer Motors. QUICK TAKE: Action/Adventure: Having followed in his older brother's footsteps, a young racecar driver must contend with changes to the sport that's driven his entire life. (2008) (Emile Hirsch, Christina Ricci) (PG)
