All Change!
Michel Gondry of Be Kind Rewind and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind fame is now the director for this comic book adapation of the The Green Hornet. Seth Rogen stars as Britt Reid, a newspaper publisher by day and masked crime fighter and master detective by night.
Rogan and Chou on set
He is aided in his crimefighting duties by his more than able sidekick, Kato (Jay Chou replaces Stephen Chow) Kato was made immortal by the peerless Bruce Lee in the television series.
The Green Hornet has spanned many media having been portrayed on radio shows, film serials, television shows and comic books from the 1930's right through until the early 1990's.
We'll see how this does with Gondry in the chair. Though I think that I am edging slightly closer to agreeing with HornetSting and Herve this time around. (See previous article and comments)
