Pictures<\/p>\n<p>The Wachowskis\u2019 cult classic 2008 live-action film adaptation of Tatsuo Yoshida\u2019s 1960s anime series \u201cSpeed Racer\u201d is coming back.<\/p>\n<p>The title will be available for purchase digitally in 4K Ultra HD and on 4K UHD Disc on May 19th.   The new video release includes a featurette in which the directors recall making the film with a clip of that available below. <\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Warner Bros. Pictures, in partnership with Flashback Cinema, will also present special theatrical screenings of the film the week of April 25th in 225 locations across the United States. <\/p>\n<p>Emile Hirsch, Christina Ricci, John Goodman, Susan Sarandon and Matthew Fox starred in the film, which was a box-office flop at the time, grossing $94 million from a $120 million budget.<\/p>\n<p>Reviews were also mixed, but over time the title has been given a retrospective reappraisal and has frequently appeared on lists of the most underrated films of the 2000s and its distinct pop art-style visuals have come to be appreciated with time.<\/p>\n<p>A sample 4K clip from the new release has been posted by Warner Bros. Entertainment and can also be seen below.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ign.com\/articles\/speed-racer-4k-digital-and-blu-ray-announced-limited-theatrical-screenings-in-april\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">IGN<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Previous article<a href=\"https:\/\/www.darkhorizons.com\/he-man-backrooms-airbender-trailers-tomorrow\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">He-Man, Backrooms, Airbender Trailers Tomorrow<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Next article<a href=\"https:\/\/www.darkhorizons.com\/hail-mary-author-gives-star-trek-apology\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">\u201cHail Mary\u201d Author Apologies To \u201cStar Trek\u201d Chief<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Warner Bros.
