There is a lot going on this morning. A first poster for The Dark Knight, a new Iron Man image, the first Prince Caspian trailer. And now we get the first look at Matthew Fox as Racer X in Speed Racer thanks to Entertainment Tonight. You can watch the clip below or here.

The American TV bastion of white teeth and never being knowingly underenthused scored a trip to the set of the Wachowski brothers movie about a boy (Emile Hirsch) who wants to be the greatest car racer ever and hung out with Fox, who plays the mysterious Racer X.

Fox's version of Racer X is a little different to the cartoon version. The white costume has been replaced by something a bit blacker, a bit more rubbery and a lot more pervy. Another thing we notice is that the film appears to have physical sets, despite Emile Hirsch telling us a few weeks back that the whole thing would be shot on green screen. We'll be honest, we feel a little betrayed and might just have a little cry to get all these feelings out. Oh, why, Emile? Why?!
