That’s right, the Beetle Juice Adams Family alumni is set to play Trixie in a new big screen adaptation of the classic cartoon Speed Racer. Our hero, Speed is to be played by Emile Hirsch.

Also cast in the flick are John Goodman and Susan Sarandon as Speed’s parents and Matthew Fox as Racer X.

No word yet on who is going to build the Mach 5.

The flick is set to open May 9 next year.

Note: As pointed out by an eagle eyed reader, Big G’s memory has failed again, as has his ability to check facts before pressing publish!
