Apparently tired of fighting smug “Others” or trying to get into Kate’s pants now that Sawyer has already gotten there first, Matthew Fox (aka Jack on “Lost”) is in final negotiations to join the cast of the Wachowski Brothers’ “Speed Racer” live-action movie, reports The Hollywood Reporter. “Speed” is about a young race car driver named Speed (to be played by Emile Hirsch) and his quest for glory in his thundering, gadget-laden Mach 5. Fox will play Speed’s mysterious racing rival, an enigmatic soldier of fortune known only as Racer X.
