Anglofritzian film production is coming of age. After the American James Bond was shot in Studio Babelsberg, "V for Vendetta" and Cruise's "Valkyrie“, now the newest Wachowski brother flick "Speed Racer" opens in theaters and is another Hollywood production to join the rebirth of Berlin as a global film capital.

The $100 million moving image investment is based on the Japanese comic "Mach Go Go Go" and includes Speed's parents Pops and Mom played by John Goodman and Susan Sarandon. Well known German actors Moritz Bleibtreu and Benno Führmann, who takes on the inspector role, raise the flag for Fritz.

Even if the Wachowski brothers still don't give interviews, their main theme is the individual fight against corrupt regimes. In the era of gasoline powered SUVs and rising oil prices, Racer is a hommage to our leg extensions with an emphasis on authentic family values, a bond that fights inhumane conditions and corruption. And with almost every color represented, you're reminded what the movie going experience is actually good for.
