Green Hornet to be Action Flick
--by Stephen Schleicher
At the Superbad Panel at “the con” Seth Rogen stated the Green Hornet movie he and fellow scribe Evan Goldberg were working on would be an action movie and not a comedy.
Be that as it may, with Rogen set to star in the movie, I really wonder how people will take the film seriously. It’s kind of like Jack Black playing Green Lantern.

Columbia Pictures is expecting a summer 2009 release for the film.

Honestly? I doubt that the general public has the slightest idea who Seth Rogen is, and only a passing notion of who the Green Hornet is.

The general public surely recognizes Seth Rogan as the stoned loser from Knocked Up.
I still think this is a bizarre and horrible casting choice.

I think it is a strange choice also. But thats not to say that I think its horrible. I like him, and I think he may be able to do some good stuff with a character that hasn’t been used in quite some time. Maybes he’ll get it right, maybes it’ll be a disaster. Benefit of the doubt is required I think!
