Seth Rogen Writing and Starring in 'Green Hornet'?

Will this finally get made?

The Hollywood Reporter and LA Times both have articles stating that Seth Rogen is in final negotiations to co-write and star in The Green Hornet for Columbia Pictures based on the 1960s television series.

Rogen will be penning the script with his Superbad buddy Evan Goldberg following the adventures of Brit Reid. A wealthy publisher of The Daily Sentinel by day, Reid roams as a masked crime fighter by night, dedicated to protecting the lives and rights of the city's citizens. Reid is accompanied by Kato, a chauffeur-bodyguard-personal assistant during business hours who transforms into a masked sidekick with a knack for martial arts when the sun goes down. The two cruise around town in a dark sedan known as the Black Beauty.

This is not the first time The Green Hornet has been talked about. Back in 2004 Kevin Smith was tackling the project for Miramax Films with Jake Gyllenhaal in talks to star in the title role. Beyond that a variety of names have been attached along with actors such as Jason Scott Lee and Jet Li have been rumored to play Kato.

Rogen and Goldberg would also co-exec produce the pic.
