With Matrix, the Wachowskis have created a sci-fi milestone that has gone down in film history. Subsequent works by the directing duo, such as the Matrix sequels, are much more controversial. For example, the Speed Racer released in 2008 was extremely polarizing. With the visually exuberant sci-fi image frenzy, the Opinions between love and hate strongly apart. The blockbuster flopped at the box office.
But Speed Racer will soon have one second chance in the form of a series reboot. Behind the project is none other than Star Wars and Star Trek mastermind JJ Abrams.

As reported by The Hollywood Reporter, JJ Abrams and his production company Bad Robot are developing a new speed racer series for Apple TV+. In addition to Abrams, Hiram Martinez (Snowpiercer, Get Shorty) will serve as showrunner and co-writer on the sci-fi reboot.
