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. I saw a video of Seth Rogen at ComicCon where they revealed the new Black Beauty.
