Emile Hirsch must have thought ‘Speed Racer’ was his big breakthrough. But now that nobody is interested in the movie, he’s getting his name out in a different way. While most of Hollywood probably didn’t know his name until now, Hirsch is making headlines by leaving his agency after ‘Speed Racer’ flopped at the box office this weekend.

Although he doesn’t say it, it’s quite clear the flop is the reason. If there was another reason, you wouldn’t leave your agency after such a box office weekend. Or his timing is really really off. Shari Rosenzweig represented Hirsch for the last 7 years at UTA. He got him roles like Chris McCandless in the critically acclaimed ‘Into the Wild.’ It seems quite harsh to leave your agency after all these years and just one ‘Speed Racer.’ But Hollywood is nervous and filmmakers are moving all over.

The agency shakeup is far from over. After Robert De Niro, Ben Stiller and Chris Rock respectively went to CAA, Endeavor and ICM, two more ‘big guys’ are getting ready to switch over. Nikki Finke was told Paul Thomas Anderson (’There Will be Blood’) “just wanted to move on. It wasn’t any one thing. He wants a change of scenery. It’s all very amicable.”

He is now reportedly going to the William Morris Agency, while John C Reilly is going to CAA.

It’s not like these people usually don’t swap agencies like cars, but the last few weeks has surprised everyone with so many major stars leaving or switching. Other than the ones mentioned above, Ashton Kutcher, Vince Vaughn, Jennifer Connelly and director Ed Solomon have jumped ship.

Looking at three of the biggest agencies in town, Endeavor was probably the biggest winner. CAA is not expected to gain nor lose. And UTA has been said to be the loser of this little spectacle.
