Before Michel Gondry or Seth Rogen were attached to The Green Hornet movie, Kevin Smith wrote a script back in 2004. Fast forward six years later and Dynamite Entertainment acquired the script and developed it into a comic book series that is completely different from the film that’s coming out this December. Kevin talks with MTV about his comic and where Seth Rogen is heading with the movie version.



Kevin wanted to make sure the comic book version got out ahead of the movie version:

"Seth Rogen and Michel Gondry are going to define the Green Hornet for the mainstream. So I just want to get in one last kind of...this is how Green Hornet was back in the day"

He also had this to say about the film version:

"It's action oriented but it has a lot more humor in it that the one we would have been allowed to do or the comic book series will have."



Green Hornet #1 goes on sale today including cover art by Alex Ross. Smith is using the overall feel of the radio serial and TV show but has still made a few changes with the biggest one being Kato is now a woman.

The movie is expected to be out this Fall sometime.

DogsOfWar-I knew Seth's version would obviously have comedy in it but after hearing Kevin's interview, I hope it doesn't end up on the campy side of things.
