Susan Sarandon will be playing “Mom” Racer in the upcoming Speed Racer big screen adaptation. Recently Superhero Hype had an opportunity had the opportunity to chat with Sarandon and she talked about working with costars Christina Ricci and Emile Hirsch as well as the Wachowski brothers. Speaking specifically about the always unusual brothers Sarandon said:

“So odd and so fun; they complement each other. There’s something kind of great that you have someone who you absolutely trust like your brother who you can bounce ideas off of and finish each other’s sentences ’cause you’re not so lonely making these decisions. But they’re very funny and very sweet; I think it’s going to have a lot of heart – the film – because they really care about family. They come from a very tight family, and they came to visit – a very oddball family. It was fun and humbling because I didn’t have much to do. It was a whole new experience which is why I did it, ’cause it’s massive and it’s technical and style. But I love the Wachowskis, I really do; and the cast was really sweet, and I’ve certainly never worked with a chimp before.”

Speed Racer is scheduled to be in theaters next May.
