JJ Abrams to make live-action Speed Racer for Apple TV, because it went so well last time

Apple TV?!  You’re supposed to have all the original, artsy stuff!  Shame!

[Blatch]

Well, I'm not sure if "original" should count, given that they've made an animated Peanuts show and are working on a movie about the Grateful Dead starring Jonah Hill. This series fits right in with those. As for "artsy", the 2008 film has become a huge cult classic. J.J. Abrams being involved is a downgrade, but if this show can be at least half as trippy as what the Wachowskis made, I would call that a win.

I couldn’t think of a worse downgrade than going from a movie with the Wachowskis to a streaming show from Jar Jar Abrams.
