Emile Hirsch Promises 'Big Things' From 'Speed Racer'

It must be good to be Emile Hirsch right now. You're starring in a great new flick ("Into the WIld") directed by none other than Sean Penn AND you've just spent a couple months playing with a chimpanzee (two actually) and the Wachowskis for "Speed Racer."

You can read the full Emile Hirsch interview here or check out the full Emile Hirsch video interview here (including his story about singing with Lindsay Lohan). Or you can simply watch a bit of the interview below. Here Emile tells us why we should be jazzed for "Speed Racer." As if we needed a reason, right? Oh and he imitates a chimp really well.
