Trouble in Green Hornet paradise...

Come on, don't be so hard on Rogen. Fat people can be super heroes too. :)

I have nothing against Seth Rogen; as a husky hairy fella meself I can relate to him. My big problem with this is that it will be directed by Michel Gondry. Not sure how fellow Comic-viners feel about this chap but I for one have an intense dislike for all his films and work to date. Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Be Kind Rewind............................. sorry, just had flashbacks of smug celluloid awfullness. Nah, Michel Gondry is up there with Gus Van Sant, Todd Solondz and Wes Anderson for directors who work I avoid on principal dagnabbit. And if that makes me a lowbrow plebian then so be it! 
Anyway... Seth Rogen... wierd choice for Green Hornet but in the words of Skeletor... NEH!

I hate this movie. It's on then it's off then the process repeats its self. I loved the original show and have a pretty good collection of GH comics. It's great stuff and nothing about the comics or the show come off as comedic. So why is this film going to be a comedy? It's like they just want to spoof the character. This movie could be darker than the current Batman movies but Hollywood is just going to make it suck. I'd much rather if it doesn't come out at all.

" I'm simply not going to see this. It looks like a farce of a noir hero. I can't say that the 60s cartoon-like series was great (neither was the 60s Batman which is was paired with), but I'm still bothered that the subject has to be approached as a comedic spoof.  It just seems wrong to do this to the Green Hornet and my respect for Seth Rogen has dropped quite a few points because of it. "

I love Seth Rogan films, for the most part. But this I just don't know if I can get behind. This reminds me of when Jack Black said he wanted to make a comedic Green Lantern movie. Lucky that project wasn't given legs, unlike this one. Although I am really looking forward to the Green Hornet comics by Dynamite.

"Come on, don't be so hard on Rogen. Fat people can be super heroes too. :) "

Delay doesn't mean anything.  I'm not wasting my time with this disaster.

Jay Chow is the one from the Initial D movie correct?

This movie will suck. Guaranteed.

Well, for starters, Seth Rogen is shorter than I am, and I think he might be shorter than Babs. But we can always argue it's a movie, right. 
 
The original series and the Adam West Batman were produced by the same producers through Fox, but The Green Hornet didn't have Lorenzo Semple Jr's indistinguishable comedic mark, which he would later repeat with Flash Gordon. Semple Jr. had a way of being ridiculously and visually faithful and stunning in accordance to the original material, as in these cases of Batman and Flash Gordon. Only rib-ticklingly funny. 
 
Some believe that when he was told Batman and Flash Gordon were comics, he thought they meant the funny comic strips, like The Peanuts. No. But, and a HUGE but, both Batman and Flash Gordon retained the visual look and FEEL of the comics to an irreproducible speculation. It's quite possible he and/or the producers mistakenly or purposely misinterpreted the whole Batman/comic thing from the start, BUT they still gave us Batman, with Adam West, for which we are all forever grateful.
 
Lorenzo Semple Jr. would probably have been dismissed as a writer altogether if he hadn't also penned such films as Three Days Of The Condor, The Drowning Pool, Papillon, the James Bond revisit Never Say Never Again and the 1976 release of King Kong. YES, that's the 1976 King Kong!! Just so you read that correctly!!
 
He did, however, write the screenplay for the motion picture adaptation of Sheena, with Leslie Stevens, no less, and starring Tanya Roberts, equally no less, which may have broken his campy mold. 
 
Lorenzo Semple Jr. can be seen and heard somewhere on YouTube giving movie reviews with a reviewer partner, believe it or not. Go look for him. I've heard he's quite entertaining.
 
 
 

" i cant beleive they would replace stephen chow. : ( "

" Come on, don't be so hard on Rogen. Fat people can be super heroes too. :) "

...Meh.

Well...

If I remember correctly. The Green Hornet show was suppose to be a Batman sort of story. I remember there was even a cross over of Green Hornet and Adam West's Batman show.  There was even an episode where they fight each other. Knowing Bruce Lee was in that mix always made he laugh.
 

please dont rape it
