Star Emile Hirsch and producer Joel Silver have spoken to USA Today about their upcoming blockbuster Speed Racer, which is set for a release date on May 9, 2008. Hirsch, has been a fan of the television series, and especially the high powered Mach 5 car, ever since he first saw it as a kid. "It was one of the coolest things I'd ever seen," he told USA Today on the phone from the set in Germany, where shooting will start next week. "That's when I started thinking it would be great to be on TV. And have one of those." Silver takes away any fears that the movie will be as dark as the earlier movies the directors, Larry and Andy Wachowski, have made. "Speed Racer is going to be very bright, very family-friendly," Silver says. "And it will have great effects like The Matrix, just with the car." To read more, click the link.
