Emile Hirsch May Be Speed Racer![]()
It looks like Speed Racer casting rumors are starting to heat up. The latest is that Girl Next Door star Emile Hirsch is in talks to play Speed, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Speed Racer is of course the live action version of the not really that classic, crappy cartoon of the same name being put together by Matrix creators Larry and Andy Watchowski. The show followed the adventures of a race car driver named Speed, but let’s face it the only reason anyone watched it was for the strange array of wacky gadgets he had hidden inside his car. The movie will feature his cool car, as well as other staples from the series like his arch enemy Racer X. Just last week we heard that High School Musical star Zac Efron was one of the actors contending for the part. Since it sounds like Emile is only talking to them about the role, Efron may still be a contender for the Speed. One thing is for certain, they’re definitely looking for a specific body type. Efron and Hirsch have a very similar look. |
