The Wachowski brothers' "Speed Racer" has been confirmed as the Tribeca Film Festival's closing night film. It'll screen Saturday, May 3rd at the BMCC TPAC in Lower Manhattan, and "several of the cast members will be in attendance." Sayeth the press release:
"Warner Bros. has been a big part of the Festival many times over the years and we are thrilled that the Wachowskis and producer Joel Silver are bringing Speed Racer to us this year to close the Festival," said Jane Rosenthal, co-founder of the Tribeca Film Festival.
Well, it's not the strongest of New York tie-ins, but maybe Emile Hirsch and the chimp can traverse Manhattan in the Mach Five in order to promote the event. See that wacky trailer here.
