Seth Rogen Talks About The Green Hornet


As some of you may not have known, Pineapple Express star, Seth Rogen has been cast as The Green Hornet in the upcoming film of the same name. He has gotten into shape, and is ready top start filming this year!!

According to Seth Rogen, their tentative date to start filming is the end of June. When asked about Kung Fu Hustle star, Stpehen Chow's involvement, Rogen says, "He's kind of our mascot. (laughs) He may be Kato. I'm not 100% sure if that's the case, but it's a very likely possibility. I'm not sure. Honestly, we're kind of in the very early phases right now. We're just putting those elements in place so I'm being honest. I honestly don't know yet. "

Rogen also says that they were inspired by the original, but feel no obligations to staying true to it since the radio show and TV show were both different from each other, and both were different from the comic books. He was quoted saying, " We kind of took what we thought was good and left what we didn't."

I'm still a little skeptical about this film since I'm not sure if Seth Rogen could carry such a film, or could even pull off being The Green Hornet. I mean, I know that Rogen's in demand nowadays, but we're talking about a comic book film, not an R-rated comedy. BUT, Stephen Chow's involvement is very interesting, and I actually thought that he'd be perfect for Kato. I guess we'll all have to wait til they release more details or a teaser at least.

What do you think? Comment!!
