It was rumored, then under negotiation. Now its definitely happening. When MTV caught up with Cameron Diaz she offered a two word confirmation.
“I’m in,” she grinned.
Diaz has officially signed on to play Lenore “Casey” Case, historically Britt Reid’s beautiful secretary and one of the few people aware that Reid (who will be played by Seth Rogen) spends his off-hours fighting crime as the Hornet. In the soon-to-shoot film, however, Casey will be re-imagined as a forensics-TV-show loving amateur sleuth who remains in the dark about Green Hornet’s true identity—and is smarting from a recent divorce.
“I am making Michel Gondry’s movie,” she said of the visionary director, who Diaz said is giving the 70-year-old character an extreme makeover. “I am very, very excited about it.”
She went on to talk about how this incarnation of Casey would differ from previous ones:
“I think she’ll have her own little [differences],” explained the “Charlie’s Angels” star. “I’m going with Michel, because this is Michel’s movie and Seth’s movie. So, I’m playing the character that they wrote for us.”
