“Mach Go! Go! Go!” is a 1960s Japanese anime, which is aired in US as well under the title “Speed Racer”. The live action film adaptation of Speed Racer, directed by the Wachowski brothers of “Matrix” fame, is set to premiere in May 2008.
Three videos below… the intro of the original Japanese anime, opening of the US anime, and one of the official trailers of the 2008 movie…
4.30am in the morning… just completed a phone interview with Korean superstar Rain, who is in Los Angeles to promote his Hollywood debut movie, the “Speed Racer”.
The interview was arranged by Warner Brothers. I somehow thought that it was going to be a conference call alongside other medias, but it turned out to be an exclusive interview… luckily I made enough preparation to fully utilise the 8 minutes.
I know lots of you are eager to hear what Rain has said during the interview, but you will have to wait until Monday to read the whole story (as requested by Warner Bros).
To be frank I feel a bit gay right now… never thought that I would be so excited talking to a guy… my heart is still beating in joyous mode and would probably last that way for another few good hours.
Thanks to Warner Bros for the arrangement, and thanks to Rain for accepting the interview. My female friends are going to be really jealous about this :)
[Update April 28] The interview is up.
“The Forbidden Kingdom”, starring action superstars Jet Li and Jackie Chan, has topped the North American box office over the weekend.
