The Green Hornet
It seems like the film adaptations and remakes of superhero movies just keep coming. According to Entertainment Weekly, it seems like the former Charlie's Angel, Cameron Diaz, is in talks to play the female lead in the new " Green Hornet" film! The film is a remake of the original Green Hornet movie that was first released back in 1940. Some of you might also recall the television series from the 1960's, where Bruce Lee played Kato, Green Hornet's sidekick. Seth Rogen ( Knocked Up) will be playing the lead role.

 I'm hesitant to say I am excited about this film. It seems to me as though the movie has a pretty goofy cast, and I am curious to see if the film will carry a serious tone, or whether it will be a sort of a spoof of the original television series and film. What do you guys think? Are you interested in seeing where this film goes? Are you looking forward to it? What about Kato? I kind of hope they don't butcher this film...

The movie is set for a July 9, 2010 release.

It seems like it will be very campy and tongue-in-cheek judging from the cast. Unless a seriously kickass martial artist like Tony Jaa or Cung Le is cast as Kato, I will have no interest in this movie at all.

I have a feeling its going to be all about the spoof and less about the serious tone...

Hahahaha!!! I'm sorry but I just can't imagine Seth Rogen playing the Green Hornet. Don't get me wrong, I'm a big fan of Rogen's. The guy's hilarious. But I just don't see it. And I'm not even a Green Hornet fan. XD

But Cameron Diaz isn't that bad of a casting choice. I heard somewhere that Kevin Smith is directing it. I'm a huge fan of Smith's.

It looks to me like they're going to make a mockery of something special.

Stephen Chow (the writer, director and lead from Kung Fu Hustle, Shaolin Soccer and many others) will be Kato.
I'm curious if nothing else to see how he handles an english role

Chow hasn't done anything serious.Last time I checked Green Hornet wasn't a comedy...

EDIT: Nope, nevermind. Upon closer inspection, I change my mind.

10 years too late. she was so hot when she first debuted. She was smoking in the mask. Age and plastic surgery has done a number on her over the years.
