Go go, Emile Hirsch, Go! Is the young actor behind the wheel of the Mach 5?

Ahoy, squirts! Quint here with some SPEED RACER developments.

Looks like THE GIRL NEXT DOOR'S Emile Hirsch is the front-runner to climb into the Mach 5 for the Wachowski Bros' adaptation of the '60s cartoon, SPEED RACER.

He's not a bad choice. I always thought there was a little more depth to him than a lot of young actors. We'll see how the shoe falls, but it looks good for him right now.
