Audiences will experience a high-velocity thrill ride when the high-octane, live-action family adventure Speed Racer opens at Esquire IMAX Theatre on Friday, June 6. From the Wachowski brothers and producer Joel Silver, the creators of The Matrix trilogy, comes the re-envisioning of an enduring classic that blends live-action with groundbreaking visual effects. Speed Racer will be digitally re-mastered into the unparalleled image and sound quality of The IMAX Experience® with IMAX DMR® (Digital Re-mastering) technology. With crystal clear, larger than life images and state-of-the-art digital surround sound, IMAX will put audiences in the “fast lane” for this action-packed, totally immersive cinematic experience.

“We shot ‘Speed Racer’ in pure digital cinema for super clean images and ultrahigh resolution, which will make the IMAX experience even more spectacular for audiences,” said producer Joel Silver.

“The Wachowski brothers’ Matrix films were some of the very first Hollywood films to be transferred into the IMAX format,” explained Theatre Director, Doug Link. “They were also some of the most successful Hollywood films to play at the Esquire IMAX Theatre. We anticipate that Speed Racer will be just as visually stunning on our giant IMAX ® screen and we are happy that this film will be accessible to the entire family.”
