The Green Hornet Boys in Action on the Set

So what are the chances that Michel Gondry’s “Green Hornet” movie is not going to suck? I haven’t a clue. And frankly, I’m tired of saying bad things about the movie. Who knows, it may end up being amazing. You know, like “G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra” kind of...

First Look at Seth Rogen as the Green Hornet

Here’s your first look at Seth Rogen as the Green Hornet, mask and all on the set of “Green Hornet”. Or I think that’s Seth Rogen. The pic comes from Splashnews, who has a video from behind the scenes that has an embed function, but apparently it ain’t workin’ right...

Nicolas Cage Explains why he Left the Green Hornet

Originally it was reported (and believed) that Cage had left Michel Gondry and Seth Rogen’s “The Green Hornet” because his people and the studio couldn’t reach an agreement, contract-wise. That, apparently, wasn’t the real reason. Cage explains to The Canadian Press that...

Green Hornet Gets a Villainous Basterd

Looks like the boys at the “Green Hornet” compound actually traded up: days after losing Nicolas Cage, the film landed its villain replacement in “Inglourious Basterds” villain Christoph Waltz. So yes, it appears Waltz will continue playing bad guys for a while, which is an odd...

UnCage Him, Green Hornet! Nic Cage Drops Out of Seth Rogen’s Movie

Apparently Nicolas Cage’s role in Seth Rogen and Michel Gondry’s “The Green Hornet” was never a done deal, because Heat Vision Blog is reporting that, after negotiations for the actor and studio fell through, Cage has now left the project and the studio is on the look out for...

Unsurprisingly, Jay Chou’s Green Hornet Stunt Double is Less Attractive

The folks at SuperheroHype have your first look at the gang from “Green Hornet” on set. Look! There’s Seth Rogen and Cameron Diaz shooting a scene in front of fake press people! Look! That’s Jay Chou’s Kato stunt double driving around in a car! The film stars Rogen as the...

Official: Jay Chou is Kato in Green Hornet

They lost Chow, but they got Chou. It’s official: Seth Rogen and director Michel Gondry have found their new Kato, and it’s Taiwanese pop singer and actor Jay Chou. Chou is an unknown in the States unless you’re into Asian pop or watch Asian movies. He’s starred in a number of...

Has Seth Rogen Found his New Kato? And is it Kwon Sang-woo?

Maybe, maybe not. First of all, keep in mind that this is coming from a South Korean source and the original source material is entirely in Korean. Plus, Asian movie news, especially those that involve Hollywood, tend to be less reliable than those British newspapers from Across the Pond telling you...

Nicolas Cage is Green Hornet’s Bad Guy

Nicolas Cage does about ten movies a year, give or take a half dozen, and plus, he’s a comic book geek, so it’s no surprise that he’s currently in negotiations to join the luckless “Green Hornet”, the movie by Michel Gondry that’s set to star Seth Rogen as the former...

Has Chow Ditched Kato and his Pal the Hornet?

Look, I personally have nothing against Seth Rogen and this Green Hornet movie of his — okay, that’s not exactly true. I do find the idea of giving a supporting player in pot movies a major movie franchise to do with as he wishes to be slightly on this side of utter retardation, but whatever,...

Cameron Diaz to Fight Crime with the Green Hornet?

The girl must have a thing for masked crime fighters in green (remember her break-through role in “The Mask”?), because Entertainment Weekly is reporting that Cameron Diaz is currently in negotiations to board the Seth Rogen/Michel Gondry superhero movie as the Green Hornet’s love interest....

Michel Gondry to Direct Green Hornet!

You know, just when I didn’t think the whole saga behind “Green Hornet” could get any weirder, it just did: Sony and Columbia Pictures have just announced that Michel Gondry (he of “The Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind” and “Human Nature”, not to mention...

Updating Stephen Chow’s Superhero Movie Not Named the Green Hornet

According to someone name Wei Dasen, who works for Stephen Chow in some capacity, his boss has not only “resigned” as director of Seth Rogen’s “Green Hornet”, but he’s also shaken off the shackles of a co-star billing as well. At least, that’s what Wei Dasen...

Seth Rogen Says Green Hornet is Alive and Ready to Sting

It would appear Seth Rogen is not very happy with last week’s Internet rumor that his movie, “The Green Hornet”, was hanging on life-support over at Sony. In response, the The Mighty Guttural One has sent an email over to Hitfix, who floated the original rumor. Meanwhile, AICN’s...

Is the Green Hornet Movie Dead? Kaput? See Ya? Maybe.

Oh Seth Rogen, will this mean you will be denying those half dozen or so diehard fans of yours who are dying to see a “Green Hornet” movie the chance to do so? Probably, probably not. We already know that Stephen Chow, pretty much the film’s only saving grace to many of us, has already...

Stephen Chow: Now Out of Green Hornet Entirely? Yes, God, Please!

I’ve made no bones about it: I believe Stephen Chow playing sidekick to Seth Rogen in a movie is below a man of Chow’s stature. Most Americans have no idea who Chow is, so they foolishly believed him playing second fiddle to a schmuck like Rogen is a “step up” for him on his road...

Chow Quits as Green Hornet Director

The Green Hornet is screwed. Or maybe it’s the audience who is screwed. At least, if you were one of those people hoping for a good, decent Green Hornet movie that didn’t involve weed jokes. To be sure, the announcement that Hong Kong wunderkind Stephen Chow had not only agreed to star in...

Rogen on Green Hornet, Chow, Other Stuff

In an interview with the L.A. Times, Seth Rogen talked about his script for the upcoming big-screen version of “The Green Hornet” and Stephen Chow’s contributions. Yes, I’m still shocked they got Chow to do this thing. But after thinking it over for a while, I’ve come to...

OMFG. Stephen Chow to Star, Direct Green Hornet

So what have I been saying all along? That there’s no way in hell that a man of Stephen Chow’s stature would play second fiddle to an overrated second-tier leading man like Seth Rogen in “The Green Hornet”. Well okay, so maybe I was wrong, but considering all the facts, I don’t...

Seth Rogen is the Green Hornet. What, you Can’t Read?

If you were one of those people holding your breath that Sony Pictures would finally come to their senses and snap victory from the jaw of defeat by taking the Green Hornet property away from Seth Rogen, you’re sadly mistaken, chump. Sony has put up a logo for Rogen’s upcoming “Green...
