The Green Hornet Review

Director: Michel Gondry Writers: Seth Rogen, Evan Goldberg Cinematographer: John Schwartzman Stars: Seth Rogen, Jay Chou, Christoph Waltz, Cameron Diaz Studio: Columbia Seth Rogen, slacker superhero There’s never been a worse superhero than the Green Hornet. Not that the movie is completely irredeemable or that Seth Rogen does a poor job; it’s just that his Britt Reid is not very good at the whole superhero thing. Or even the whole decent-human thing. His qualifications for the job seem to be: 1. Having a limitless supply of money. 2. Having a side-kick that does all the work....  read more

Assessing Nine Comic-Book Movies in 2011

Nearly every comic-book movie has either been great fun (The Dark Knight, Spiderman) or so awful as to elicit anger (Batman and Robin, Spiderman 3).

First we learned that super-freak indie auteur Michel Gondry (Eternal Sunshine) would helm the film, long set to star Seth Rogen.

Kevin Smith's Green Hornet to be Released as Comic Book

Over half a decade ago, Kevin Smith was in charge of bringing the Green Hornet to life, but one thing led to another, and Seth Rogen is now helming the project (along with director Michel Gondry) and writing the script. Now, Smith will revisit the comic-book hero with a comic book adaptation based loosely on his script, according to Entertainment Weekly. ...  read more

Michel Gondry directing Seth Rogen's Green Hornet

The Green Hornet was floundering. Despite its blockbuster star, Seth Rogen, the film was stuck in development hell. A director was found, Kung Fu Hustle's Stephen Chow, but still nothing was moving forward. Finally, the film was assumed canceled, or at the very least, unlikely to be made until a decade later with a totally different cast and crew. Now, Variety has announced that the project is saved, with a release date set at June 25, 2010. What's more, the only surprise bigger than the film's resurrection is the news that Michel Gondry, the lo-fi auteur behind Eternal Sunshine of...  read more

Seth Rogen to star in cancer comedy

They say laughter is always the best remedy, no matter the situation. Life is Beautiful, Roberto Benigni's Oscar-winning drama, made light of one of the worst atrocities the world has ever seen. Juno, Paste's 2007 movie of the year, was a smart-as-a-whip comedy about teenage pregnancy, a subject nobody finds particularly funny. And Woody Allen has poked fun at everything from sex with sheep to czarist Russia. Now, Freaks and Geeks alum Seth Rogen will try and convince moviegoers cancer can be funny. Wish him luck. ...  read more
