'Speed Racer's' demon on wheels

USATODAY

Emile Hirsch was 6 years old when he saw his first episode of the cartoon Speed Racer and, more important, caught a glimpse of the Mach 5.

'It was one of the coolest things I'd ever seen,' Hirsch says by phone from Germany, where filming will begin next week on the movie adaptation. 'That's when I started thinking it would be great to be on TV. And have one of those.'

Sixteen years later, he finally got behind the wheel of the speedster, which gets its first look here and will be at the heart of the film, due May 9, 2008.

'My first thought was, 'Yeah, they got the car right,' ' he says. 'That's one of the best things about the show, so it was always going to be one of the most important parts of the movie.'

That and the return of Andy and Larry Wachowski, the brothers who are making their first directorial effort since The Matrix trilogy.
