Seth Rogen Shares More Details On The Green Hornet!

Yeah sounding crappier all the time, wish they kept it straight, comedy wont work!

Sweet find tho @ JOSH, hope ya had a good XMAS!

"He's kind of douchebag. A somewhat entertaining douchebag, but a douchebag all the same."

So does this mean he's playing himself? Wow, what 'ACTING' skills this man must possess! I can't stand the growing number of people nowadays who 'play' themselves in EVERY movie they're in and then call themselves 'actors' - WTF people?

I love how all the haters of this movie think that there's a "definitive" version of Green Hornet and that there can be no deviations. Hell, the NOW comics version wasn't even Britt Reid and Kato was a girl. BTW, I just borrowed the complete GH series on a bootleg DVD from a buddy and I can't wait to watch it!

@R8ITR- Considering most of Seth Rogen's movies are huge hits, what makes you say that nobody wants to see them?

The current comic based on SMith's run and all the side comics coming out of it are pretty good. They do have some comedy but its usually dark, or isn't some oneliner but comes generally from the situation and the protagonists reaction. Turning the film into a buddy cop/comedy thing is just wrong. The buddy cop part I can deal with. Making them partners and not hero and sidekick I like. But the slapstick humor shouldnt be in it at all!!!!

"why would anyone want to see a movie where the main hero is a douchebag." -marvel72.
Uhhhh....

All douchebags.


I think this movie will prove all of you wrong. I cant wait to see it!

I confirm Bigbywolf and loganoneil's comments. Green Hornet was never a dorky douchebag.

@loganoneil- I totally see what you're saying dude, and you're absolutely right about the Superman thing, but I feel like it's apples and oranges comparing the two. The main difference being that Superman has never, ever been out of the public eye. Ever. He's never not been in the comics and there has always been some tv/cartoon/movie of him in production. The Green Hornet is a different animal than Superman. He goes away for awhile and then comes back for awhile and goes away again. Lather, rinse, repeat. Therefore, I feel that the character is a little more open to interpretation than a character that has always been with us in some form or another since his inception. I really am a big fan of the Green Hornet, and I don't really see him as a jokey character at all. It's just that I don't mind a little humor thrown into the mix if it keeps the character fresh and relevant. I honestly don't think that Rogen is making a 100% comedy out of this movie. Yes, there will be comic relief, but I really think by the time the movie climaxes, The Green Hornet will be a full fledged hero. I understand that you don't like Seth Rogen, and that's okay. We can't all like the same actors. I really wish they would've cast someone different, if only that you could enjoy the movie too.

@loganoneil- Btw, I really enjoy these debates with you, simply for the fact that you're rebuttals are always intelligent, well-worded, passionate, and refrain from name calling. I hope when all the GH fervor dies down, we can be buddies. :)

MatchesMalone - Not a problem. I too have enjoyed the intelletual debate (it's a nice alternative to some of the name-calling that OCCASIONALLY goes on here). Your points are clear and concise (but totally WRONG - LMFAO!). I just see it in a different light - 'agree to disagree'.

I think the things we CAN agree on are the upcoming 'Thor', 'Captain America' and 'Green Lantern' movies! To quote that scholar Kent 'Flounder' Dorfman, "Oh boy, is this going be GREAT!"

...though now that I think about it, I'm not too sure about Ryan Reynolds and Chris Evans - LMAO!

Definitely will see this movie before I say it sucks. Actually, think it looks pretty cool. But we'll see.

Sometimes it looks good, others not so much. Just have to wait and see. Not a huge Rogen fan though

Green Hornet is NOT a douchebag.
Keep this in mind, guys.
"He's really not that awesome when you meet him"

I think "when you meet him" refers to the first time that you see the guy. He's simply saying that early on in the movie, Britt is not the hero Green Hornet would be later on. Meaning there's some kind of a transformation process here.

Granted I don't read the comics and I didn't follow the radio show and barely remember the series. I just remember that Bruce Lee kicked arse as Kato and Green Hornet was not a douchebag. However, are we going to assume that we will see Britt as the Green Hornet from the beginning of the movie? I don't think so.

So, even if Rogen said that, it still doesn't mean he will play Green Hornet as himself throughout the whole movie. Not that I mind that, as I personally like Seth Rogen. But for you who like Green Hornet but don't like (or even hate) Rogen, I think you should give this film a chance to find that you'll be pleasantly surprised.

Or at least, not that much disappointed. LOL!
Just a thought.
