New rumors are swirling that Adam Sandler will be appearing in the Green Hornet film, "Two different people in the industry told [the LA Times] that Adam Sandler has a brief but key role in the movie as a certain surprise superhero...I heard which one, too, but I don't want to ruin it. Sandler and Rogen have another project together as well." [LA Times] More »

Seth Rogen's Green Hornet movie was looking like a weird mutant hybrid, with a script by Rogen and Evan Goldberg, but direction by Hong Kong comedy legend Stephen Chow. How would Chow be able to make Rogen's trademark slacker comedy work? But now there's some excellent news: Chow is taking a hand in rewriting the Hornet script himself, and contributing a lot of his own silly ideas. Promoting his new movie Zack And Miri Make A Porno, Rogen also gave an update on the animated Monsters Vs. Aliens and explained why he's not on board for Ghostbusters 3, even though he's already fan-cast in it for life. More »

Now that "superhero movies" have become Hollywood's biggest summer genre, we're going to see a flood of films deconstructing superhero tropes in various ways. But the most exciting superhero revamp may not be Watchmen or Kick-Ass, but rather the Green Hornet, the Batman-esque action-comedy starring co-writer Seth Rogen. Why? Because of its new secret weapon, co-star and director Stephen Chow. More »

While Will Smith's Hancock may have failed to kill the superhero trend in movies this summer, we think we've identified the actor who stands the most chance of being the unwelcome nail in this genre coffin - Seth Rogen. It's not enough for him to be writing and starring in the upcoming Green Hornet movie. Now he's being prepped to appear in a future Kevin Smith scifi superhero movie. When will the madness end?

No, probably not. Not even Rogen's self-deprecating humor can generate enough buzz to make me want to sit through this bargain-basement superhero movie. Rogen says Hornet, which he's co-writing and starring in, will be about a superhero whose sidekick (Kato) is more famous than he is. But to us, it's just more proof that movies have scraped the bottom of the superhero barrel. More »

Ever since this weird teaser trailer for Seth Rogen's apocalyptic movie leaked out a year ago, we've been wondering when we'll actually get to see the Knocked Up uber-dork outlive us all. Now we know: Rogen andKnocked Up co-star Jay Baruchel will go nuts together in Jay and Seth vs. the Apocalypse for Mandate Pictures. The two friends get locked in one room together after the apocalypse, and comedic gold results, according to Rogen. Fingers crossed it's more brilliant Rogen work and not a studio forcing him to make an "American" Shaun Of The Dead. More »

That means most people will think of the Green Hornet as a paunchy, Jewish hero if this thing actually gets made. Since most audiences today aren't familiar with The Green Hornet, we've put a shorthand guide together for your edification. More »
