 The Green Hornet...starring Seth Rogen
http://movies.yahoo.com/feature/movie-t ... ornet.htmlI like Seth Rogen (especially in Observe and Report), but really? Even with all the explosions, kung fu, and hip music, it's still frumpy funny-man Seth Rogen. but i don't know...maybe he'll win us over with this one (but I doubt it for me). but right now, the only reason to see this is Kato. Jay Chou is all right....but I'm still cringing at the site of this one for a few reasons. I gave the trailer a second look just to see if I missed something, but I didn't.

 Re: The Green Hornet...starring Seth Rogen
I've been sooooo curious how they were going to pull this off for so long. The trailer answers that question: Exactly what you'd expect in your most cynical mode. Formulaic Hollywood schlock. I'll probably see it anyway since I loved the TV series as a boy and don't really mind Rogen.
Vombie I think you and I are the only people who liked "Observe and Report." Maybe it tried too hard to be a twisted little flick, but it was a twisted little flick, and Rogen was painfully good in it.

 Re: The Green Hornet...starring Seth Rogen
Yes! Seth was always one of those guys that seem to just play himself in movies. then I saw O&R and he went upside my head. I think everyone in that movie really did a great job, but Seth killed it. lately I just throw in Black Dynamite or O&R for a laugh.
but yeah...Green Hornet...bad move.

 Re: The Green Hornet...starring Seth Rogen
Im on the fence.....Will prob just wait for the DVD.
I really did like Observe and Report too! (just to add to the record..)
I used to catch shoplifters @ Tower Records (DC, MD, VA).
We didnt wear ''uniforms" but watching this took me back to those wild days.

 Re: The Green Hornet...starring Seth Rogen
The idea of a Green Hornet movie has been in kicked in Hollywood foe at least 20 years- this is a disappointment. Its touted as an action/comedy and was written by Rogen and the guy who wrote Superbad. Kevin Smith is currently writing the very good GH comic, I would have been nice to get someone with a comic book background to be involved. Joel Shumacher, you have some competition!

 Re: The Green Hornet...starring Seth Rogen
I like Gondry and I like Green Hornet I'll go see it. The story line looks slightly dumb, but I'll suffer through it.

 Re: The Green Hornet...starring Seth Rogen
I'm surprised this wasn't directed by Judd Apatow. And WTF(?), why wasn't Ben Stiller cast as Kato? (As an alternative, I would accept Matthew McCounaghey as the Hornet, only if he were hopelessly and happlessly chasing for the affection of Kate Hudson.)

 Re: The Green Hornet...starring Seth Rogen
Anyone know anything about Seth Rogen's "japanese vinyl" collection? Heard him on the Adam Carolla Radio Show about a year ago being interviewed for the "Zack and Miri Make a Porno" movie and when asked what his hobbies were outside of smoking weed he said collecting japanese vinyl toys was one of them.
