AWESOME 'SPEED RACER' PICS LEAKED

Growing up, who didn't watch the anime toon "Speed Racer?" While it's been stuck in development Hell, the Wachowski brothers wanted to bring the project to the screen with Johnny Depp. Never happened. They did, however, invent a whole new look for their upcoming adaptation for Warner Bros. pictures.

USA Today has recently published the first 8 photos from the feature which show off the new film's stunning look. Action producer Joel Silver ("The Matrix," et al.) calls the visual effects of the pic "are beyond belief. "We couldn't have made this movie until right now."

The trailer premieres tonight on "Entertainment Tonight" will hit the 'Net soon after.
