I am really really interested to see how this turns out. I am torn whether I think it will be bad or good. It could really go either way.

My prediction is that it will ONLY be either extremely funny/good, or extremely unfunny/bad. There will be no middle-ground.

I think Green Hornet is an ideal property to get turned into a different kind of movie under the movie blog’s own official remake rules. Not many people know the original and even fewer feel strong about it, so they’re free to improve, throw out what doesn’t work, and get creative without having to be held to 60 years of canon like a Batman movie.

Shocking.

No, really.

John,

Who GIVES a shit about the Green Hornet. They can do whatever the hell they want with that shitty character. Hornet looks like a goof naturally anyways. Seriously! Fuck The Green Hornet. If Seth Rogen and co wanna make a super hero comedy using some shitty ass hero, then let em. The Green Hornet as a character is totally and completely 100% dispensable.

I hated Drillbit Taylor but with The Green Hornet Seth Rogen should take this film more seriously and try to make it as funny as he can.

This has Drillbit Taylor-ism written all over it

Never got the appeal of Rogen. Think he’s just not that funny and he’s likely to be unfunny in this movie too. One can only play the same character for so long…

Hey Jason,

Personally I can think of a couple of instances where Rogen has let us down. Don’t forget he wrote Drillbit Taylor… one of the worst films of the year.

Seriously tho, when has Rogen let us down? His movies are funny and I have complete faith he’ll continue to follow through on that. Plus, as you mentioned, Kung Fu Hustle and Shaolin Soccer were both fantastic. I think Chow and Rogen will make a great pair.
