There’s nothing worse than watching a poorly cast movie that had the potential for greatness. Anyone that’s seen “Pearl Harbor” knows exactly what I’m talking about. Although Hollywood loves to match up a dynamic duo that can light up the silver screen, casting directors occasionally miss the mark. But if it’s energy and talent you’re looking for, we predict that the cast of this summer’s “Speed Racer” will deliver.

Emile Hirsh + Christina Ricci = Box Office Magic.

These two young actors are both known for their quirky roles. America fell in love with Hirsh as the high school president who falls into trouble after falling for a porn star in 2004′s “The Girl Next Door.” And who could forget Ricci’s performance in the critically acclaimed “Monster.” With the knowledge that they are in their own right, we are expecting big things when they come together as Speed and Trixie in “Speed Racer.”
