Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment will launch
Speed Racer the game, based on the film written and directed by the Wachowski
brothers. The game will be available in 2008 on the
Wii and Nintendo DS systems as the Speed Racer film hits theatres. It will be released on
the PlayStation
2 computer entertainment system with the DVD launch.
In the Wii version, developed by Sidhe Interactive and published by
Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment, players will be able to take on the role of the characters
from the film, getting behind the wheels of each character’s signature vehicles to experience
firsthand the film’s high adrenaline, combative racing style. The "car-fu" style of action within the
game will closely represent the action style being designed by the Wachowski brothers for the
film itself as they lend direction and assets to the development team directly from their Berlin set.
“Speed Racer is an exceptionally creative property and teamed with the Wachowski brothers’
vision it makes for action-packed racing gameplay,” said Samantha Ryan, Senior Vice President,
Development and Production, Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment. “The game will capture
the intensity of the racing in the film to give gamers and movie fans a chance to take the wheel
after the experience the film.”
"We are very excited about this natural extension from the SPEED RACER film to the
videogame. Larry and Andy are videogame fans themselves, so they believe that an interactive
game is a key component to the entire SPEED RACER experience." said film producer Joel
Silver.
