Continuing the tradition of cinematic greatness, Emile Hirsch attended the premiere of his new film “Killer Joe” at the 68th Venice Film Festival today (September 8).

The “Speed Racer” stud looked to be in good spirits as he arrived at the Palazzo del Cinema to greet the crowd of fans and press that had gathered.

“Killer Joe” is about a young man whose life is in danger due to a debt he’s acquired. And when things get desperate he puts out a hit on his evil mother in order to collect the insurance.

In addition to Mr. Hirsch, “Killer Joe” also stars Matthew McConaughey, Thomas Haden Church, Gina Gershon, and Juno Temple.
