Sarandon gives some details on Speed Racer
by Doc on Aug.27, 2007, under Movies
Actress Susan Sarandon (Children of Dune), who plays the mother in the upcoming live action Speed Racer, gave some details of the Wachowski Brothers unique production, which was supposed to use some new filming technique. Now we know – filming will have all elements of a scene – foreground and background – in focus at all times, and have highly saturated color – similar to a cartoon. I’m very interested in seeing how this comes out.
