While other movies are sporting leaks like a tenement faucet (ahem, STAR TREK), security around SPEED RACER has been tighter than clam's ass. Today we have our first glimpse of an actor in character from the set. It's from a Hungarian blog where they're highlighting one of the stuntmen from the film. The stuntman is posing with John Goodman in character as Pops, Speed Racer's father. OK, so it's not exactly Emile Hirsch as Speed or Matthew Fox as Racer X, but it gives you a decent idea where the Wachowskis are going with this one. Click on the pic below to head over and read some Hungarian and see the pic in full (there's also something about VALKYRIE in there if you can make heads or tails of it...).

Extra Tidbit: That car in the background doesn't look very SPEEDy...

Nice Moobs
Note to Goodman:

Light colored tight shirts.. not a wise idea.

...I don't know.
At first, I'm thinking "King Ralph", but then I start thinking "The Babe".

Somewhere inbetween there, I get "The Big Lebowski" and "The Flintstones".

Oh what the hell.
This'll either rock like a hurricane or sink like a stone.

Yup...
...that's Pops all right! But I'm not really sure about the stunt man, he doesn't have enough weight to fit as John Goodman.
