South Korean singer-actor Jung Ji-hoon, also known as Rain, has announced an April 23 visit to Hong Kong to promote his first Hollywood film, "Speed Racer."

The pan-Asian star chose Hong Kong as the only Asian stop on his promotional itinerary out of his love for the city, Web site Sina.com.cn reported on Wednesday.

"Speed Racer," a work by "The Matrix" directors the Wachowski brothers, is slated to open in Hong Kong and North America in early May.

Jung plays a rookie racer in the live-action film adaptation of a Japanese animation. The film also stars award-winning Chinese actress Yu Nan as Jung's sister, and Hollywood stars, including Emile Hirsch, Christina Ricci, and Matthew Fox.

i saw this on sunday. i really enjoyed this movie. i wasnt expecting much, and as a fan of the cartoon growing up, i'll admit i was not really wanting to like the movie.

for some reason i tend to not like anime live action adaptions.

this one suprised me.

just dont watch it with any epileptic people.

the one fight scene with racer X wasnt half bad either.

oh, and the monkey cookie. that was rad.

When I watched the sneak peak of this movie, I felt like I am going to love this movie. Heard a lot about it's original Japanese version. I am a big fan now. :-) :-)
