Seth Rogen, Evan Goldberg, Neal Moritz, Michel Gondry and Christoph Waltz took the stage at the Sony panel in Hall H today and started their presentation with a long series of clips from The Green Hornet.

The biggest new part of the footage was a number of scenes with Waltz and his double-barreled handgun (Gondry referred to it, after, as a "stereo gun"). It's hinted that Waltz will have a costume as well at one point and we see a shot of a long red leather coat (but shot from the waist down) walking down the street. In another scene, it seems he's trying to design a mask in a mirror with construction paper.

There's one extended splitscreen shot where Waltz's character is dispatching bounty hunters to go after the Hornet, so it seems that there will be several smaller villains for Green Hornet and Kato to fight against.



Following the footage, Rogen introduced a 3D scene, showcasing "Kato Vision." In the scene, Kato and Britt Reid have bonded over their dislike of Reid's just-deceased father. They decide to "do something crazy" and break into a cemetery to cut the head off a statue of him.

The footage opens with a 3D animated hornet, flying at the camera and the classic theme playing over.

Reid wears a prototype Green Hornet outfit as a disguise. He has a regular trench coat, a fedora and a green bandana over his face. He successfully cuts off the head but, as he's leaving with it, he runs into a group of muggers attacking a woman. He tries to help, but gets chased himself.



Just as the muggers knock him to the ground, a fist bursts through the window of a nearby car. It belongs to Kato and we switch to his point of view. Everything moves in slow motion as Kato analyzes the scenes. He spots each and every object that could be used as a weapon, which blinks red to show he's seen it.

As he leaps through the air at the muggers, the scene deepens and multiplies (as the cars do in the trailer). The whole battle continues in slow-motion and, each time a weapon is disarmed, the blinking red turns off. Kato's own costume also seems to be somewhat of a prototype outfit, his mask replaced by driving goggles.

Right, because a 60 year old Bruce Lee makes a whole lot of sense in this movie.

Lol, thanks tea! :D

TABOO: Not a thing, sorry! However, now the panel is done and Comic Con ends tomorrow, I'm hoping that some pictures/footage will either be released or leaked online! :)

As for this movie, as someone who's never been a fan of the source material, the changes don't bother me in the least! I actually think that this movie is going to be excellent, at least based on the trailer and info I've seen so far!

From that description this acutally doesn't seem that bad of a movie as everybody said it was going to be.

I seen the trailer it looks silly... Green Hornet looks like will farrell and Kato cant act. It seems like it's
going to be filled with comic relief like a 1960's Adam
West's BATMAN version.

I am very unfamiliar with the Green Hornet but I like this comedic feel. Seems like a fun ride at best.

SETH ROGAN is going to sink this movie. He is not super-hero material. Probably cause he gets on my nerves. LOL This movie is going to be all KATO for me since I was a huge Bruce Lee fan.
