We have seen variations of these settings before in leaked behind the scenes pics. These have been released on Yahoo in anticipation of the trailer which debuts tonight on Jimmy Kimmel Live, so it should be online soon after, keep an eye on CBM for a looksee.
There doesn't seem to be too much excitement for this one. Partially because of Seth Rogen's involvement and also party because director Michel Gondry has said it will have comedic undertones. Personally I was never a big fan of the character anyway, but I am a big fan of Gondry's work so I am curious to see what he does with this.
Here is the official synopsis..
Britt Reid is the son of LA’s most prominent and respected media magnate and perfectly happy to maintain a directionless existence on the party scene — until his father mysteriously dies, leaving Britt his vast media empire. Striking an unlikely friendship with one of his father’s more industrious and inventive employees, Kato, they see their chance to do something meaningful for the first time in their lives: fight crime. But in order to do this, they decide to become criminals themselves — protecting the law by breaking it, Britt becomes the vigilante The Green Hornet as he and Kato hit the streets.
Using all his ingenuity and skill, Kato builds the ultimate in advanced retro weaponry, The Black Beauty, an indestructible car equal parts firepower and horsepower. Rolling in a mobile fortress on wheels and striking the bad guys with Kato’s clever gadgets, The Green Hornet and Kato quickly start making a name for themselves, and with the help of Britt’s new secretary, Lenore Case, they begin hunting down the man who controls LA’s gritty underworld: Benjamin Chudnofsky. But Chudnofsky has plans of his own: to swat down The Green Hornet once and for all.
The film will be released on January 14 2011 in 3D and IMAX 3D presentations.
