Flower-Power: Christina Ricci, Jake Gyllenhaal

"As we wrap up lunch and head out for a little shopping at Ricci's favorite area store, Lake boutique on Rowena, the conversation moves back to her upcoming role as Trixie in Speed Racer. And out comes one of the first urgently effusive comments of the afternoon: "It was honestly the most fun I have had making any movie, pretty much ever."

"She loved her fellow cast mates, Matthew Fox, Emile Hirsch and Australian newcomer Kick Gurry ("He can take a punch"); eccentric writing/directing brother team of Larry and Andy Wachowski ("I was like their dress-up doll"); doing her own stunts ("I learned to pick up a gun in mid-cartwheel on the second take, I basically have no more ambition in life"). But her favorite thing? The outfits, of course. Based on the 1960s Japanime series created by Tatsuo Yoshida, the Wachowski brothers brought their futuristic/fetishistic aesthetic that they perfected making the Matrix series to this hyper-real live action film". "The helicopter pilot one was the best. I look like an action figure. It's a zip up leather sleeveless hot pant cat suit. And I wear it with patent leather stiletto boots." Source: hollywoodlife.net
