A baaaaaddd mutha (shut yo' mouth) joins the cast of SPEED RACER!!!

Ahoy, squirts. Quint here just talkin' 'bout Shaft... and you can dig it. I don't know, guys. I didn't much care for the MATRIX sequels, but the more I hear about SPEED RACER, the more and more I'm digging on it. Richard Roundtree just got cast alongside Emile Hirsch, Christina Ricci, John Goodman, Matthew Fox and Susan Sarandon. Helluva cast and seeing Richard Roundtree in a movie like this just makes me happy. He'll be playing Ben Burns, commentator and ex-racer, a hero to Speed Racer. Sounds cool to me.
