Green Hornet Trailer -- I'll Leave It to Bill Cunningham to Describe How Wrong this Is

Just like Kevin Smith, Michael Gondry and Seth Rogan just don't get this character.

It might help to start by taking the character seriously.

The Hornet should be frightening in his "role" as criminal mastermind, and Brit Reid should be unimpeachable in his role as crusading journalist. It is the perfect duality.

Trust fund loser who needs to redeem himself after the death of his father is so Freudianly lame.

Complaints aside, at least the film is coming out around my birthday. This will allow me to continue my "let's watch the worst movie of XX for my birthday party" tradition. Let's see how this compares to In the Name of the King.

Seth Rogen Green Hornet "Unexpectedly" Campy

Our good friend Bill Cunningham, he who (along with Harlan "freakin'" Ellison) has written a story for the upcoming Moonstone Green Hornet Chronicles and knows his Green Hornet inside and out, has the skinny on the upcoming Green Hornet movie.

It appears that the movie will be...

Prepare to look shocked.

You can do better than that.

CAMPY!

That's right. They promised the film would be serious and "dark" and "edgy." Apparently, what they meant by that is bright and silly.

We should have known when Steven Chow dropped out of the project and was replaced by someone with no Kung Fu that this was coming.

Oh Wait! We did.
