The Green Hornet
June 23, 2008
Columbia Pictures has launched their official site for The Green Hornet, complete with a snazzy title treatment that touts star Seth Rogen's involvement and the planned June 25, 2010 release date. The Knocked Up funnyman will star and write the script for the action-packed adaptation based on The Green Hornet radio program, TV show and comic adventures that have remained popular since the character's creation in the 1930s. The story centers on newspaper publisher Britt Reid who fights crime as the masked adventurer alongside his ass-whoopin' sidekick Kato (famously played on the '60s TV series by Bruce Lee). Rogen recently said that the movie is expected to have a PG-13 rating. "That's an action movie, you can do anything violence-wise," he said. And Rogen also says that he'd love to have Kung Fu Hustle actor Stephen Chow as Kato. Official site :- http://www.sonypictures.com/movies/thegreenhornet/ |
Seth Rogen. Whooooooooo!

This is definitely sweet news.

I remember several years ago when George Clooney was signed on to be "The Green Hornet" and Jason Scott Lee was to be his Kato. It sounded like a good idea but Clooney left the project to make a movie called "The Peacemaker"and never returned to it. Of course he did make a super hero movie when he did the God-awful "Batman And Robin"but the less said about that the better.
Historical footnote: Did you know that The Green Hornet is the great grandson of The Lone Ranger? |
I thought it was his nephew!

With Rogen and Goldberg writing it I think it could be a blast. With the Pink Panther movies they were awful because they weren't even funny. If they make this campy and funny with action I think it could be good. |
