Shooting on the movie has started in Germany this week, and here is a last minute addition to the cast: Scott Porter (Friday Night Lights) will star in the movie as the brother of the main character, Speed Racer. This brother is a rather instrumental character in the movie, as it is his death at a race that urges Speed Racer to go on and try to become the best racer in the world himself. Other sites are splattering this announcement with spoilers, and although I'm pretty sure most people interested in this movie know what happens between the two brothers, I'll just keep it at that to not spoil things for the uninitiated (at least, until the first trailer which will no doubt spoil everything anyway).
