Vaughn Pushes Along Big-Screen 'Speed Racer'

The popular Japanese-made cartoon series Speed Racer is set to get the go-ahead from Warner Brothers - after actor Vince Vaughn sold them his concept for the movie. The Swingers actor has been cast as the title character's mysterious big brother Racer X after his vision for the film impressed studio bosses because it focused on character development and a family story in lieu, hence avoiding costly racing scenes. A Warner Brother spokesperson says no other talent is yet attached to the project. Vaughn will also hold an executive producer credit on the big-screen version of the popular Japanese animation centered on the adventures of a young driver named Speed and his supercharged racing machine - the Mach 5. He says, "I've been a fan of the show since I was a kid and always liked the theme of the protective older brother who can't reveal his identity."

Personally I always liked Speed Racer in a cynical way, but I think this is a questionable idea. What do you think?
