Speed Racer movie?!?

Apparently, the rumor floating around is that the Wachowski brothers are making a Speed Racer movie. The other rumor is that Keanu Reeves is starring in it. Normally, I would think this is a bad idea...but the teaming up of Reeves and the creators of The Matrix worked out pretty good for the first Matrix movie. I'm not a big fan of the sequels though. Anyway, a Speed Racer movie sounds like it could be great. Hopefully they won't screw it up.
