Deadline reports that Apple is gearing up to launch a live-action TV series Speed Racer. The show will be developed by Bad Robot and Warner Bros. television.
Hiram Martinez (Snowpiercer) and Ron Fitzgerald (Westworld) are writing the script. Based on the original manga from the 1960s.
The problem is that now the project is staffed only with screenwriters – the film currently does not have a cast, directors and showrunners.
Recall that in April 1967, the premiere of the animated series “Speed Racer” took place. The film adaptation of one of the first works of Tatsuo Yoshida, published in the magazine “Shonen” in June 1966 to May 1968, is considered the best of its kind.
Based on the anime Tatsunoko Production in 2008, the film of the same name by the Wachowski sisters was released. Outside of Japan, in most countries, including Russia, the American adaptation of the series was shown, where all the names were replaced with English ones.
