Sony is moving forward with what may be the most unlikely superhero film yet: The Green Hornet starring Seth Rogen. The Knocked Up star will play Britt Reid, a bored playboy who inherits his father's crusading newspaper and spends his nights fighting crime with his sidekick, Kato. Additionally, Rogen is currently penning the film's script with his writing partner, Evan Goldberg (Superbad) Sony has yet to hire a director for the project. Hornet is due in theaters on June 25, 2010.

Oh hell no! Seth better loose like 30 pounds and buff up before they start filming! No offense but only because he scored with a hot girl in Knocked Up that doesn't make it "millionaire-playboy" material. I loved the TV series (I watched re-runs) and let me tell you, he doesn't come close to the standard set by Van Williams. I mean, who's gonna be Kato? Jack Black now that he made a Chinese martial arts animated film? Is it April? because otherwise this is not funny.

You can't compare this:

I'm curious as to who they will cast as Kato (Bruce Lee in the original TV series).

This has to be a joke. He's way to out of shape to be a super hero.

Rogen has already gone on record saying his first choice for Kato would be Stephen Chow from "The Royal Tramp," "Shaolin Soccer," and "Kung Fu Hustle."
