Rain’s role in ‘Speed Racer’ is a rookie racer named TAE-ZO who tries to keep family.
To the questions of reporters about why he chose this movie even though he was proposed by many other hollywood movies as a leading actor, Rain answered that he wanted a step-by-step growth solidifying fundamental acting skill. Also he showed his confidence in the movie saying that he thought ‘Speed Racer’ with best directors and actors was a best choice for him as his debut in Hollywood.
Especially Emile Hirsch, who was casted as Speed Racer, expressed his love for Rain saying “I love Rain.” And he continued to show his interest in Rain saying that “I know that Rain is Justin Timberlake of Asia. Now I meet him as an actor, but I want to see him as a singer in his concert when it’s possible.”
‘Speed Racer’, based on the animation series ‘Maha Go Go’, is a mega action blockbuster. It will describe the young racers who race taking their lives in high-technology sports cars.
The movie already began to be shot aiming for releasing in May next year.
