The Green Hornet (2011)
Seth Rogen is the new Green Hornet? Britt Reid (The Green Hornet) wasn’t a bumbling retard. They might as well cast Steve Carell or Jim Carey.
The show, in 1966, was kinda like the Batman TV show, minus all the goofiness. I mean there were henchmen to gang up on the Green Hornet and Kato but, with no “BANG!” and “POWS!” People actually died on the show. Not real life dead, dead but, I meant, not knocked out after one or two punches. They had their hideout with secret doors and Black Beauty (the car) flipped out from under the garage floor. Their just were no shenanigans that you typically get out of a Seth Rogen movie.
I like how it seems that, Jay Chou (Kato) looks to be taking the role seriously. Since the original role on the TV show was played by Bruce Lee. I just wonder if Chou will be big in Hong Kong like Lee was.
Obviously, it’s going to be big budget explosions, bad-ass karate kicks, and stupid zingers left and right. I never read the comic, I’ve only seen the TV show. So, I don’t know how well it will stay true to form. Then again, when does any remake ever do so?
Thanks, Kato.
