Sci-Fi Film and Television Developments
The Green Hornet
6/30/08 - Seth Rogen said recently that he and writing partner Evan
Goldberg are putting the final touches on a proposed Green Hornet
movie and confirmed that he will play the title character. Rogen
promised that the movie, based on the '30s radio serial and subsequent
TV series, will be packed with action. Still, many fans may be left
scratching their heads at the notion that the guys who did Superbad
are making a Green Hornet movie. Rogen offered this explanation:
"To us, it was just this funny notion that, when you say Green Hornet
to someone, the first thing they say is, 'Hey, Bruce Lee played Kato in
that show.' We really wanted to make this hero-sidekick movie. ... For
years we'd really been trying to write a movie that was kind of about a
hero and his sidekick. When we heard the Green Hornet movie was
up for grabs, we thought that could be the perfect way to do this story,
because he is the only hero whose sidekick is more known than he is. We
thought it would be a good way to tell this relationship story and just
do a big crazy action movie."
07/30/07 - Seth Rogen will co-write and star in this film adaptation of the 1960s TV series. Evan Goldberg will share writing responsibilities. No word on release dates.
