I know its been 11 years since Speed Racer and some people think a sequel is a bad idea now, but I disagree because who cares that it's been a decade, the script can be tweaked a little, they can play with time, they can cast another child to play Spritle, and then get Paulie Litt to still play Spritle as a teenager and young adult. My point is they can play with time, and we've been so fucking long for a sequel. Tick tock Warner Bros. and Wachowskis!

Oh, I absolutely agree with you! It being 11 years since Speed Racer is not an issue for me. I actually think it would be fun to see where the characters, specifically the Racers, are 10+ years after Speed Grand Prix victory.

And the first movie certainly had no trouble playing with time. It had flashbacks interwoven into present day scenes. As well as flash forward scenes interwoven into present day scenes.

The sequel could easily take place a decade later and incorporate flashbacks to things like Royalton's trial proceedings. I am down for Speed Racer sequel whenever it comes out.

Before you mention how much the movie made then, maybe crowdfunding can happen, I mean there was a cult movie from 18 years ago that got a sequel out last year due to crowdfunding, and the Wachowskis must have some money from their previous movies even though Lana's making another Matrix, hopefully the money that movie makes can contribute to a Speed Racer sequel.

I wasn't going to say anything about how much the movie made. I don't anything about movie budgeting, but I'm sure if they wanted a movie to happen they'd find a way. ☺
