Seth Rogen's 'Green Hornet' Gets Teased

This seems like it is a bad idea...

I am not sure how much longer the Seth Rogen factor is going to be in play. For that matter I am not sure how much longer people will be laughing at the antics of his good buddy Judd Apatow. Regular readers already know I am not an Apatow bandwaggoner, but unless they really modernize The Green Hornet of which Rogen will star in and is co-writing with partner Evan Goldberg I don't see how it can do much better than Speed Racer.

I never saw the TV show and I have never read the comic, but I just don't have a good feeling about it. Sony, on the other hand, feels different and even though the film won't hit theaters until June 25, 2010 a teaser site has launched with the above graphic. You can check it out here, but the graphic above will pretty much spoil that experience since there isn't much more to do there except Register for Updates, which basically means "Sign Up For Spam". I leave that decision up to you.

In other news, did you hear Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen won't actually have the "2" in the title? If you are saying, "OH SHIT!" join the club, I was flabbergasted. That means it will just be Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, which I think is really confusing.

I AGREE.. THIS IS NOT GOING TO BE A GOOD MOVIE.. AND THEY ARE OVER STATING THE SETH ROGEN APPEAL BIGTIME. IT WAS THE INITIAL "WELCOME BACK TO THE CRUDE MOVIE" THAT MADE HIM A STAR NOW HE'S ALREADY FEELING STALE. IF I SEE ZACK & MIRI MAKE A PORNO IT'S DEFINATELY FOR ELIZABETH BANKS SHE'S FUNNY ALL AROUND AND CAN BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY IN A DRAMATIC ROLE ALSO..

AS FOR TRANSFORMERS I DONT FIND IT CONFUSING IN THE SLIGHTEST I THINK DROPPING THE "2" IS GREAT… RISE OF THE FALLEN STATES THE NEW (SUB)TITLE.. I REALLY HATE IT WHEN SEQUELS USE A NUMBER IT OFTEN REMINDS ME GODDDDD HOW MANY OF THESE HAVE THERE BEEN..FUCKIN STOP ALREADY… IT SEEMS FRESH(ER) WITHOUT THE NUMBER ATTACHMENET GOES FOR ANY FIILM.. TRUST ME YOU'LL FEEL THE SAME WAY ONCE THEY START PUSHING "SHREK GOES FORTH" SEE SOUNDS REDUNDANT AND STUPID AND BEEN THERE ALREADY….

I have seen some episodes of the television series, which was Bruce Lee's first step to stardom in the west.
The Hornet is a lot like Batman but with less gadgets. He's allso supposed to be an expert in hand-to-hand combat but outclassed bij his side-kick, on tv at least.

Batman is old but has stayed in the public eye where the Hornet hasn't and Batman currently has a lot of succes.
This strong competition, the Hornet being outdated and the names Rogen and Apatow don't promise much for this feature.
