Todd’s Movie Blog

I want to make an impassioned plea to Seth Rogen.  Before you make your version of The Green Hornet, go to YouTube and check out the small ten minute film made by French director Aurelion Poitrimoult. He shows in a short span of time just how The Green Hornet should be done, set at night with tons of action and a little bit of humor as Kato effectively handles a foe much bigger than himself and makes the wise choice of having The Hornet be just as adept at martial arts as his sidekick.  Having the villains as gangsters instead of a Batman inspired costumed villain keeps the film from being campy and harkens back to the character’s radio origins in Chicago during the thirties.  That should be the template for the new Green Hornet movie, not Iron Man or Wolverine.  Just give it a look okay?
