Watch the Trailer for The Green Hornet

Anxious to see exactly how Seth Rogen will play a comic book hero? Take a look at the first trailer for The Green Hornet, released late last night.

The movie, directed by Michel Gondry and also starring Cameron Diaz and Christoph Waltz, is set for a January 2011 release. It tells the story of playboy Britt Reid, whose rich do-gooder father is killed, leaving Britt to avenge his death and carry his “clean-up-the-streets” torch.

It looks like Hornet, a departure from Rogen’s usual fare, will be plenty full of big action sequences and the Knocked Up star’s signature awkward humor.
