Speed Racer’s $93M Bombing & Later Cult Following Candidly Reflected On By Star: “Are We The Crazy Ones?”
Emile Hirsch candidly opens up about the Speed Racer movie's infamous box office bombing and his joy of the cult following it eventually amassed.
As the franchise gears up to return to live-action, Emile Hirsch candidly reflects on Speed Racer. The 2008 movie served as a live-action English adaptation of the iconic manga of the same name revolving around the adventures of the titular character. Also starring John Goodman, Christina Ricci and Susan Sarandon, and helmed by The Matrix team, the Wachowskis, the movie was a critical and commercial disappointment on release, only grossing just shy of $94 million against its $120 million production budget, with reviews proving generally mixed.
