A question for Emile:
Emile... You were there, you saw them, they directed you. So, could you please explain Mrs. Patricia Chui and the rest of the world that the sex change operation of one of the Wachowsky brothers is a total lie? Could you help to reconfirm that truthe, which, by the way, can by found in New York Times, Reuters, CNN, BBC and the rest of the serious and MATURE information sources of this planet? Thank you, dude!

(for either)

In portraying a character that originated in an animated form, did any difficulties arise in translating his/her stylized and often exaggerated personality to a live action format?

(For Emile)

Your past movie roles have been quite varied, from all different genres and different types of characters; do you choose roles like these so as not to get "typecast", or do you choose roles that just feel right to you?

Emile, you made an interesting choice by moving your lips in sync with the dialog, unlike the cartoon. Was this choice a dictated by the directors or the result of research?

In regard to the green screen work, do you find it more difficult to work this way as opposed to working in a set or on location?

(for Christina and Emile)

what was your favorite part about making this movie?

for emile and christina:

did you get along well? were you guys aware of eachothers work before working together?

Emile, fans are looking forward to seeing who you bring to the film's WP. We hope to see you bring a lady friend.

Also, are you going to star in SR II?
I hear The Wachowski's want to make a sequel to the film, "Speed Racer".

Any more "green screen" films in your future?

Did you sign on to do this film simply because you felt the pressure to appear in a BIG budget movie? A lot of your peers are ante'ing up to star in BIG budget films, such as Shia LeBoeuf. Any pressure to compete with him?

Thank you.

Question for Chiristina:
It's a question in two parts really. Firstly are there any similarities or differences between working with such visonary directors as the Wachowski Brothers and one that you've worked in the past, such as the likes of Tim Burton, Terry Gilliam and Ang Lee? And since you've been acting for so long, do you yourself have any desire to get behind the camera and direct? (Either short or feature) As there was a rumour about you helming an adaptation of Speed Queen at one point.

I too agree with Johnny and want to add by saying you deserved an Oscar for Black Snake Moan, but also you should have gotten a lot more recognition for Monster, which I think was another underrated yet excellently played role from you.

This for Christina....I'm a huge fan of you for years! I really love your movies.Well, this is your first cartoon movie that you made, was it a good experience for you? would you like to make another movie like speed racer?
I know you're in NY filming your new movie NEW YORK;I LOVE YOU! and I'm sure this is going to be a great hit! good luck ;)...By the way, I'm from Perù (South america) and my name is kiara! love U!

Israel, from Madrid, Spain (sorry about my english)

- To Christina

Would you marry me?
It´s a real cuestion, but i know you have boyfriend...Then, here´s my question: If you had to choose one character of your big number of films, just one, which one would you choose, and why? - You can´t choose Trixie (promotion appart :P)


And another one pleaseee:
Will you come to Spain (finally!!) to promote Speed Racer??

PS: Of course you deserve an Oscar, but not just for Rae (Black Snake Moan) role. Selby (Monster), Elizabeth (Prozac Nation), Dede (The Opposite of sex), Wendy (The Ice storm) deserves too...

PS II: I love you, and your work.

This question is for the gorgeous and amazingly talented Christina Ricci ~ Are you even more afraid of monkeys now after the whole incident with the chimp on set? Cuz i agree and think they are the scariest creatures alive. Also, are you in the market for a gay best friend? Cuz if so im all yours.

For Christina:

I read that you once said, "I'm very shy. I can't even act that well when the camera's not on. I get really embarrassed."
Why is this? Why isn't it the other way around?

Dear Christina,

Honestly, do you enjoy working with green screens? Can't be easy, right?
