The first Green Hornet pictures have been unleashed on the internet.
Seth Rogen, star of Knocked Up and Pineapple Express, is the unlikely casting choice as the lead Britt Reid/Green Hornet for director Michel Gondry, the enigmatic man behind such films as ‘Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind’ and ‘Be Kind Rewind’.
The film also stars Cameron Diaz, Oscar-winning Christoph Walz from Inglorious Basterds, Edward Furlong, Edward James Olmos, Tom Wilkinson and Jay Chou as Kato.
The script was co-written by Rogen, and sees debonair newspaper publisher Britt Reid fight crime masked superhero The Green Hornet. At his side is martial arts expert Kato, who in previous iterations has proven to be the star of the show.

The Last Airbender will carve a new path in visual effects, showing you things no movie ever has: water tentacles and gusts of fire. We visited Industrial Light and Magic, and saw what every other movie will be copying soon.

Sci-Fi Epic ‘Ready Player One’ Coming To Warner Bros

When the statement “think Willy Wonka, The Matrix, and Avatar rolled into one” is used, and not referring to a drug-induced coma, you can understand why a studio like Warner Bros. would greenlight the project.
