Tv, Green Hornet | featured news

Seth Rogen's movie based on the pulp and television hero The Green Hornet has been moved from its original date of July 7, 2010 to its new date of December 17, 2010 according to Box Office Mojo . No reason for the move was given but one can presumes it's to give the movie more time for post-production--principal photography hasn't begun yet--and to get it away from Robert Rodriguez's Predators relaunch.

First he was going to direct and co-star as Kato in Columbia Pictures' Green Hornet , then he was only set to play Kato, and now Stephen Chow has exited the film completely due to scheduling conflicts.

Cameron Diaz is considering an offer to play the female lead in Green Hornet, opposite Seth Rogen.

Ever since Seth Rogen told us about the top-secret fight scene that director Michel Gondry shot with his own money as an audition for “The Green Hornet” movie, I’ve been dying to know what visual tricks the distinctive filmmaker has up his sleeve. Now, Gondry is finally talking about the groundbreaking technique ...

I was under the impression that even though Michael Gondry had taken over directing duties on THE GREEN HORNET, Stephen Chow was still going to be playing Kato. Maybe not. Cinemablend caught up with Seth Rogen at SXSW and when they asked him about it, he responded that:
"We have no 100% official Kato at this point."
Of course, Chow could still end up taking the role. It just hasn't been confirmed yet....

The funny-man actor discuses his first-ever superhero production.

Director signs on to Seth Rogen starrer -- Columbia Pictures has set Michel Gondry to direct "Green Hornet," with production to begin later this year.

Reports of "The Green Hornet's" demise seem to have been greatly exaggerated: Seth Rogen has circulated an e-mail refuting the rumor and expressing hope that the currently director-less project will make its 2010 release date.
