Speed Racer Movie Spoiler


(That old Tatsunoko designed car comes to life.)

Variety has probably given away what should have been a twist in Warner Bros' upcoming adaptation of Speed Racer. Below is both the non-spoiler and spoiler version of the casting update.

Speed Racer Picks Up Scott Porter

Scott Porter -- who you may know from Friday Night Lights, Ugly Betty or Descent -- has been picked up by Warner Bros. to play Rex, Speed Racer's older brother in (you guessed it) Speed Racer.

That basically sums up the update. So, for those of you looking for a little extra with a huge spoiler, check out the report in its entirety (highlight empty space below to read):
Porter will play Rex, the older brother to Speed Racer who fakes his death and returns as Racer X.
