I saw a disturbing article on SyFy.com this week about the new Green Hornet movie. Rogen says that things are going great on the movie even though Stephen Chow left the project back in April and the role of Kato has yet to be filled. With a release date of July 2010 and the film has not been completely casted, let along filming even starting I have some serious doubts Rogen will make his release date. His assertion that he is not making an atypical superhero probably isn’t sitting too well with the studio heads, especially after Watchmen (the most non-atypical superhero movie ever made) didn’t achieve blockbuster status this past year. Maybe we’ll get some better news at ComicCon, as he announced he may show up with a preview.

I saw a video of Seth Rogen at ComicCon where they revealed the new Black Beauty. It looked a lot like the original, but even more “hot rod” like. I can’t imagine that this project will ever be successful. First of all, it’s based on a character that few people today know anything about (other than Bruce Lee was in the TV show). Second, you have Seth Rogen as the hero. Even with Alec Baldwin as The Shadow, the movie didn’t do well, so how can Seth Rogen do anything for The Green Hornet’s box office. The only thing that can save it is if they get a Kato who can do incredible stunt work and have a stunt coordinator who can come up with Jackie Chan level action. I still don’t think I’ll go see it just because I can’t stand looking at Seth Rogen.
