COMIC XX

Speed Racer Rival Race Car reveled,
In the film, they'll be driving this futuristic machine that was unveled at the Tokyo Auto Salon this week. The team is a very well known Japanese team called "Autobacs Racing Team Aguri" or "ARTA", that participates in the Japanese Super GT series (and might I add is the 2007 team and driver champion in the GT300 class) with their ASL Garaiya machine.

Hayden Christensen will star in NEUROMANCER as Case, the former hacker at the center of the story. I'll be honest and admit I've never read NEUROMANCER and my rudimentary attempts to try and understand the plot have only confused me. But it seems very much a precursor to the Matrix with the book even referring to "the matrix." Joseph Kahn (TORQUE) is directing the film, which is essentially set up as an indie film with a big budget. It is not set up at a studio but still carries an impressive $70 million budget. It's unclear when filming would begin but it could be later this year. Christensen can be seen next in the Fox action flick JUMPER, which hits theaters in February.
