In an interview with Empire Online, producer Joel Silver said very little about the upcoming live-action Speed Racer movie from the Wachowski brothers (The Matrix), other than it's going to look really cool. Of course, he's producing the movie, so what else is he going to say, that it'll be a lot of flash and no substance? Silver also said they might not even use cars, which I would assume means they won't use any real cars, and do some kind of fancy CGI effects instead, which I think actually makes sense for this kind of movie.
Silver also had this to say in the interview, regarding the Wachowskis: "They said they'd never work again the Matrix sequels." If you can figure out what the hell that sentence is supposed to mean, you're a better person than I am. I'm trying to figure out why Joel Silver speaks like Yoda.

I would assume it should be: "They said they'd never work again after the Matrix sequels." of course even then it would be open to debate as to if they meant they wouldn't work again out of choice or because the films were shit.

I'm going to assume the word "after" got inadvertently snipped from the interview in the editing process.

I like to imagine he was beaned with a crowbar in mid-sentence.

Maybe he meant re-work. Like, in contrast to G. Lucas and the Star Wars movies.
