Go Speed Racer Go!

By Alexis Glick

Last night I had the great pleasure of attending the IMAX premiere of Speed Racer here in New York City. First of all, if you have not seen a movie on an IMAX screen or did years ago and haven’t recently, you HAVE TO GO. It is INCREDIBLE!!! The coolest movie viewing experience especially for a movie like Speed Racer, which was shot on the green screen by the Wachowski brothers (maker of the Matrix movies).

The movie which took 22 years to make has a very well-known cast including Susan Sarandon, John Goodman, Emile Hirsch, Matthew Fox and Christina Ricci. It is based on a cartoon from the 1960’s. The man behind the 22 year quest to win the rights from a Japanese company when he was a senior in college is David Lane Seltzer. He joined me on Money for Breakfast to talk about the making of the movie and why he so passionately fought to have it made. It’s a remarkable story. He also happens to be the founder of Management 360, a management company. They happen to manage some of the biggest names in Hollywood. Take a look.
