"Speed Racer" Rain Favors Hong Kong
2008-04-02 10:44:27 CRIENGLISH.com
South Korean singer-actor Jung Ji-hoon, also known as Rain, has announced an April 23 visit to Hong Kong to promote his first Hollywood film, "Speed Racer."
The pan-Asian star chose Hong Kong as the only Asian stop on his promotional itinerary out of his love for the city, Web site Sina.com.cn reported on Wednesday.
"Speed Racer," a work by "The Matrix" directors the Wachowski brothers, is slated to open in Hong Kong and North America in early May.
Jung plays a rookie racer in the live-action film adaptation of a Japanese animation. The film also stars award-winning Chinese actress Yu Nan as Jung's sister, and Hollywood stars, including Emile Hirsch, Christina Ricci, and Matthew Fox.

It's got ninjas. We love ninjas.
and its got enough color to send you into shock
i saw this on sunday. i really enjoyed this movie. i wasnt expecting much, and as a fan of the cartoon growing up, i'll admit i was not really wanting to like the movie.
for some reason i tend to not like anime live action adaptions.
this one suprised me.
just dont watch it with any epileptic people.
the one fight scene with racer X wasnt half bad either.
oh, and the monkey cookie. that was rad.
When I watched the sneak peak of this movie, I felt like I am going to love this movie. Heard a lot about it's original Japanese version. I am a big fan now. :-) :-)
