Your first chance to see Matthew Fox in costume as Racer X is here. Yeah, I don’t know who Racer X is either. But if you’re one of the handful of people who’s still obsessing over Speed Racer after all these years, then you know that’s the character he’s playing in the Wachowsi’s semi-live adaptation of the ancient cartoon into a movie. I say semi-live action because just about the only thing live in it will be the actors. No sets, few props, everything is being green screened.
But Fox showed up on ET to give the a tour of the green screen wall he’s been acting in front of, and to let them set in his prop car. I know I’m going to take a lot of flack for this form Speed Racer fans, but folks… those costumes look really stupid. It's as if Matthew Fox is wearing a full body condom. There’s a scene in the video where Fox catches a punch from another actor that’s absolutely laughable. Presumably, this is all going to look better once they fill in all the CGI around them. It can’t possibly look worse.
