Sarandon Speed Racer
Thursday, July 17th, 2008
Susan Sarandon played the part of Mom Racer in the 2008 Wachowski Brothers’ movie Speed Racer.
As Mom Racer Sarandon is one of two parent figures (the other provided by John Goodman as Pops Racer) to the titular Speed Racer (Emile Hirsch), a young man with racing in his blood. Sarandon’s character does her best to sooth out problems in the family and keep them together through times of trouble, and she plays the part of matriarch with her usual skill.
But foul forces want Speed to race for them, and when he refuses to sell out his father’s company Speed and his family must work hard to dodge the bullets of slander and race their way through a series of increasingly deadly tracks.
Will Speed survive? Well, it’s a family movie, so probably. But there’s only one way to find out.
