Green Hornet will have 'fast and furious action' says director
1 November 2009 7:16 AM, PST | The Geek Files | See recent The Geek Files news »
Ever since comedic actor Seth Rogen announced a new Green Hornet movie, superhero fans have feared all the years of work to get the genre taken seriously would be undone.
The later Batman movies of the 90s had made comic book adaptations a neon-lit no-go zone and it took Blade and then X-Men to revive them again. Now we have solid releases such as The Dark Knight and Iron Man delivering accessible, credible hits.
Rogen, previously known as a chubby comedian and not for any action hero roles, has co-written Green Hornet with Superbad partner Evan Goldberg. He will also play the lead role of newspaper publisher Britt Reid who has an alter-ego as the eponymous masked crimefighter, aided by a martial arts sidekick called Kato and a hi-tech car called Black Beauty.
French filmmaker Michel Gondry stepped in to direct the feature earlier this year, and that has gone »

Seth Rogen Updates The Green Hornet
28 October 2009 4:37 AM, PDT | Reelzchannel.com | See recent ReelzChannel news »
At a recent press junket for the TV movie Monsters Vs. Aliens: Mutant Pumpkins From Outer Space, Seth Rogen spoke about The Green Hornet, which he is currently shooting and co-wrote with Evan Goldberg (Superbad). Rogen told MovieWeb that it is a relief to finally be working on the oft-troubled movie.
It is [a relief]. An enormous one; constantly. But we still have to make it awesome. So the true relief isn't there yet.
With Stephen Chow dropping out as director and co-star, the release being pushed back five months, and Nicolas Cage also quitting the project, The Green Hornet has had it's share of troubles before it even started production. At one point, Rogen joked that The Green Hornet was never going to be made but would be promoted "for the next 10 years." Now that Rogen and director Michel Gondry are finally working on the movie, Rogen doesn't feel that the pressure's off. »

Seth Rogen: The Green Hornet is everything I imagined and more. And the Shaun of the Dead guys, Simon and Nick, are very wonderful. Oh my God! Simon and Nick. »

First Look: The New A-Team & Green Hornet’s Costume [Updated]
1 October 2009 10:01 AM, PDT | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »
Today we have a couple of first looks for you lucky Screen Rant readers: a first look at the new A-Team, and also our first look at the costume Seth Rogen will be donning to play the masked superhero, The Green Hornet.
We recently gave you the first look at the new A-Team van on the Vancouver set of the upcoming movie adaptation of the classic ’80s TV series. And today - thanks to ComingSoon.net - we have our very first look at Liam Neeson (as Hannibal), Bradley Cooper (as Faceman), Quinton “Rampage” Jackson (as B.A. Baracus) and District 9’s Sharlto Copley (as Murdock). It’s not the greatest of photos (I think we’re a few months away from official, high quality shots) but it nonetheless serves as our first look at the new Team.

First Look at The Green Hornet's Costume
30 September 2009 8:54 PM, PDT | Aceshowbiz | See recent Aceshowbiz news »
First taste on how Britt Reid will look like in his Green Hornet costume in "The Green Hornet" has been shared. Splash News has posted a video from the set of the masked vigilante adaptation which contains a brief glimpse at Green Hornet's costume. It isn't clear whether the man behind the costume is Seth Rogen or his stunt double.
Aside from exposing first look at the vigilante's costume, the video also displays some on-set explosions. A peek at Kato in his crime-fighting costume is also available to view. The footage from the set can be enjoyed via Splash News.
Rogen's co-star Edward James Olmos opened up earlier to Los Angeles Times that he will play Michael Axford, a reporter for the Daily Sentinel who works together with Britt Reid's father James. "We're the backbone of the paper," he said. "Things go awry, and I end up having to try »

First Look at Seth Rogen's 'Green Hornet' Costume
30 September 2009 5:50 PM, PDT | Cinematical | See recent Cinematical news »
No, that's not Seth Rogen looking like someone who decided at the last minute to be the Riddler for Halloween. It's presumably his stuntman. But it is our first good look at Rogen's costume for The Green Hornet, which has started shooting in Los Angeles. The picture is from a short video posted at Splash News Online, filmed paparazzi-style from behind the barricades where a stunt sequence was being shot. There's an explosion, and a bulldozer is dropped on a car, so that's pretty exciting.
Michel Gondry is directing the film, which is scheduled for a December 2010 release, and the screenplay is by Rogen and his old writing buddy Evan Goldberg. Jay Chou plays Kato, the Hornet's butler and chauffeur; Cameron Diaz plays a love interest; Christoph Waltz (who you loved in Inglourious Basterds) plays a villain; and Edward James Olmos plays a newspaper reporter trying to unmask the Hornet »

'The Green Hornet' Hit With a Bomb Scare
30 September 2009 1:57 AM, PDT | Aceshowbiz | See recent Aceshowbiz news »
Mishap apparently isn't ready to leave the set of "The Green Hornet". After a car chase scene went awry in early September, the Los Angeles set of the masked vigilante adaptation saw a bomb scare unraveling on Tuesday, September 29 as crew members found an unidentified metal object lying in the parking lot.
Following the discovery, the crew alerted the security which led to response from Lapd bomb squad. Preventing the worse, the squad reportedly blew up the object on the spot with a robot. A police spokesman told E! News, "Everything is clear, they only found a smoke detector." It is unclear whether the stars, including Seth Rogen and Cameron Diaz, were on the set during the incident.
Earlier in the month, the production was hit with an on-set mishap when a stunt driver, who was reportedly manning the Black Beauty car, lost control of the car and crashed into »

Seth Rogen Gets His 'Entourage' Revenge
27 September 2009 10:24 PM, PDT | Cinematical | See recent Cinematical news »
The greatest thing about last night's premiere episode of The Simpsons was just how current and fanboy-ish it was, and that's because it was written by Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg (Superbad), the former of which also voiced the character of Homer's Hollywood trainer. But perhaps the best part of the episode came when Rogen -- who's had a long-standing feud with the gang from Entourage -- used his character to take another jab at the HBO show after they used him as the punching bag for a storyline earlier this season.
Simpsons Spoiler Warning
The joke came right at the end of the episode when Homer is yelling at his Hollywood trainer (voiced by Rogen) for ditching him, thus nudging Homer off his diet and back on the chubby wagon -- a move that ultimately ruined the superhero movie he was starring in. So when Homer demands to know »

The Fall Season has returned and finally our weeks can feel slightly normal. Longstanding favorites like House and Grey's Anatomy returned to their comfortable fan base, while new shows attempted to make their mark and stand up against some veteran shows. Our first major week of regular programming brought us a cancellation, the F-bomb, and a high school choir belting out the competition.
Fox's "Animation Domination" Sunday returns tonight and it begins with an episode of The Simpsons written by superfan Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg. Rogen, who has lost a huge amount of weight training for The Green Hornet, wrote about a fictional comic book character called Everyman, who becomes a movie. In a parallel to Rogen's own life, Homer Simpson is cast in the role of Everyman, while Rogen plays a trainer who encourages Homer to lose weight and get in shape for the role. The only other »

Nicolas Cage on his decision to leave ‘Green Hornet’: Not interested in “killing people willy-nilly”
18 September 2009 8:45 AM, PDT | ReelLoop.com | See recent Reel Loop news »
Nicolas Cage explained his reasons for a quick exit from Seth Rogen’s The Green Hornet while promoting Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans during the Toronto Film Festival. Despite earlier accusations that his concerns revolved around the almighty dolla’, Cage was actually not very interested in the type of bad guy director Michel Gondry and Rogen wanted.
“The Green Hornet was something that I wanted to do, I think Michel Gondry is very talented and I had hoped it would work but I think Seth Rogen and Michel had a different take on the character,” the Oscar winner said. “I wasn’t interested in just being just a straight-up bad guy who was killing people willy-nilly.”
Nic only plays complex characters.
Cage, who is known to take roles that feed his inner little boy, wasn’t enchanted by the character Rogen and writing pal Evan Goldberg created. “I »

Michael Cera on Arrested Development and Superbad 2

During the press junket for "Youth in Revolt," WorstPreviews got to talk to Michael Cera about a possible "Superbad" sequel and the rumored "Arrested Development" movie. Cera first confirmed that he hasn't heard anything about the studio pushing forward with "Superbad 2." We then asked if someone has spoken to him about James Franco's idea of combining the characters from "Pineapple Express" with the characters from "Superbad." Cera replied: "I heard that before. [Writer] Evan Goldberg talked to me about that before, but I never thought that he talked about it seriously. But let's see what happens."
