Seth Rogen as "The Green Hornet"?
Film Gecko — ... as a superhero? I’m sure even HE finds this casting amusing. He’s set to play The Green Hornet in the upcoming film about the masked crime fighter. But hey, great way to break out of the sex-and-drugs movies he’s usually known for doing. It could work. ...

Geek Daily: 'The Green Hornet' Shapes Up and 'Tintin' Stumbles
Cinematical — ... looks like another quiet week in the land of the geek -- particularly since all my friends are off at Fantastic Fest. If you're one of the lucky people attending, eat a Wild at Artichoke Hearts pizza for me at the Alamo Drafthouse. I lie awake at night thinking about it, and wishing for the skill to replicate it. The biggest news of the weekend was a story that hit Variety late Friday night: Stephen Chow has landed the role of Kato in The Green Hornet and the director's chair. Rumors and Seth Rogen's wishes have ...

FilmChat — ...

Not Photo-shopped
Hollywood Elsewhere — ... -- four days ago! -- appears to confirm that Seth Rogen has indeed slimmed down big-time for filming on Stephen Chow 's The Green Hornet , which Rogen and Evan Goldberg are co-writing. He'll revert back to his au natural form after shooting ends, of course. I knew guys who looked like Rogen when I was in my 20s, and now they look like sumo wrestlers with a drinking problem.

Stephen Chow Won't Direct 'Green Hornet'
Get The Big Picture — You might not put it in the "disturbance in the Force" category, but I don't like the news that Stephen Chow won't be directing The Green Hornet. It was just a couple of months ago that Columbia and Seth Rogen pulled off a major coup, landing Chow as both the trusty sidekick Kato and the film's director. Chow would have brought an inventiveness, sense of humor, and appreciation of dizzying action that few directors can match. ...

Stephen Chow Will Not Direct 'The Green Hornet'
Cinematical — Did you do a spit-take over the news that Seth Rogen was going to write himself a starring role in The Green Hornet, but then kinda rebounded when Stephen Chow became involved? If so, you might not like this bit of news. Variety reports the film has lost Chow (of arse-kicking Kung-Fu Hustle fame) as director. Why? The dreaded creative differences. I was both puzzled and not very thrilled with the choice of Rogen, but have pretty much lost all hope if Chow isn't happy with the way things are going. There is the ...

Get The Big Picture — Whether or not he makes The Green Hornet, Stephen Chow will most certainly make a superhero comedy, and to that end, China.org (via Cinema Blend) has revealed that Anne Hathaway is set to star in Chow's other, homegrown action comedy. A source says the film, Chow's first foray into Hollywood, will be similar in style to Kung Fu Hustle, and that it will also ...

Rogen talks Gondry's Green Hornet
Filmstalker — ... function jokes that abound in Hollywood comedy. “To convince the studio to let him do it, he filmed a fight scene on his own...He just hired stunt men and did it by himself! Just to show some of the stuff he could do, some of the weird filming techniques he has and some of the stuff he can pull off. I mean, this is something he did in two days and it was instantly unlike anything you've ever seen before. It was impossible not to hire him once he presented what he could do for it.” The Green Hornet is sounding weirder and weirder as the comments go on. We're going to see ...

Total Recall to be remade
Filmstalker — ... (oh yes) and The Green Hornet . Original Films indeed. Can anyone defend this decision though? You know the question, and you have your opinions, but if we don't start voicing them back and showing them in the ticket buying then Hollywood will keep going - supply and demand. If we buy the tickets for a remake, we'll get another remake. Simple.

Between The Aisles - The Green Hornet, Monsters Inc. 2 & Arrested Development
Cut Print Review — ... I’m sure you’ve already read this a million places before seeing it here, but did other blogs have this cool trippy picture? Michel Gondry has taken up the reigns of the The Green Hornet after Stephen Chow dropped out. The film written by Seth Rogen and writing partner Evan Goldberg, has a release date of June 25, 2010, not to be confused with The Green Lantern, set to release in December 2010. I’m all for the incredible Gondry taking a stab at Hornet. His films are like beautiful mind trips that get ...

Rogen Admits 'Green Hornet' Still Needs a Kato
Get The Big Picture — ... would be the only reason to see The Green Hornet, but all the news that's popped up in the past three months or so has really soured me on the TV superhero update. Chow was going to direct (brilliant) and play Kato, a role originated back in the 1960s by Bruce Lee. Then he wasn't directing and he wasn't so sure about Kato, either. ...

Cameron Diaz In Talks For Green Hornet
The Movie Blog — ... I have not been thrilled with the Green Hornet news at all. Not in the least. I really like Seth Rogen, but him as The Green Hornet is a HORRIBLE miscast of the highest level. I’m also not really sure about why they’re making a Green Hornet movie in the first place. So a rich millionaire without any superpowers decided to fight crimes using his high tech devices and the assistance of a loyal sidekick. Sound like anyone we already know? (Granted… I said the EXACT same thing about Iron Man when they first announced they were making that and I ended up ...

Cameron Diaz in The Green Hornet
De Ultieme FilmBlog — ... is mij niets echt opgevallen. Cameron speelt vaak op automatische piloot maar van echt acteerwerk is nauwelijks sprake. Nu, het moet gezegd worden dat ze ook wel getypecast wordt en dat de regisseur vaak ook op zoek zijn naar het archetype van de blonde stoot. Na haar voice-oevr loopbaan in de Shrek-films, en haar domdwaze komediefilms van de laatste jaren dacht ik dat het 'over-en-uit’ was. Maar nu blijkt dat Diaz in de running is voor een rol in een Michel Gondry film, The Green Hornet (2010) , naar een scenario van Evan Goldberg en niemand minder dan ...

Could a New Kato Casting Call Completely Doom 'The Green Hornet'?

Chow Says Ciao To 'Green Hornet'
Cinematical — ... On Friday, Spoiler TV posted casting call information for the role of Kato in The Green Hornet, Seth Rogen's long-struggling feature based on the iconic radio and television hero. Prior to the call, Kung Fu Hustle star, writer and director Stephen Chow was attached to play the role, and it would have been one immaculately suited for the longtime fan of Bruce Lee, who originated the role on TV. But now it appears that Chow has another feature he would like to do, and the ongoing scheduling problems the film has suffered ...

Seth Rogen Says 'Green Hornet' is "Going Great"
Get The Big Picture — In case you're interested, Seth Rogen talked to Sci Fi Wire about the crumpled remains of his Green Hornet movie now that Stephen Chow is off the project. I won't rehash everything here, but I wish they'd just quit while they're only significantly behind. Rogen, on the other hand, is reassuring. "It's going great," he said this weekend. "In my head, we lost Stephen Chow in April, so it's ...

Nic Cage May Join 'The Green Hornet'...Seriously
Get The Big Picture — OK, so, last week I essentially started shoveling dirt on the corpse of The Green Hornet, and now we're hearing that Nic Cage is in talks to play a gangster villain. Do I honestly need to defend my position ever again? Cage, as you know, has shown flashes of something less than greatness but he's certainly interesting and unique from time to time. But that was several years ago, sandwiched between two very cold streaks of artistic and even ...

Seth Rogen's 'Green Hornet' Delayed Again
Get The Big Picture — Hey, what a shock: Sony is putting as much distance as it can between all the negative press surrounding The Green Hornet and the actual release date. A couple months ago, it was going to be one of the studio's big summer movies, having a late June weekend all to itself. Then they bounced it two weeks forward so it opened not only on a more crowded weekend but between Twilight: Eclipse and Inception, so nobody would be paying attention. And now it just got moved again. ...

Nic Cage Chooses 'Rabbit' Over 'Hornet'

I doubt he'll get a Best Director nomination, but the script seems likely to at least wind up in the running and with Waltz already taking home Best Actor at Cannes, it wouldn't be a stretch.

There's a little about the comedy aspect, and the more they talked about it, the more it sounded as though they were heading this direction. So the more I read about it the more I'm thinking that The Green Hornet is the joke and his sidekick that's the one keeping him straight and doing all the work, and seeing some of the body language on this short clip I'm ...
