Hey, everyone. ”Moriarty” here.

I’m still amazed they’re finally making this film. Lately, there are a number of loooooooooooooooong in-development projects that have finally happened. INDY 4. THE CURIOUS CASE OF BENJAMIN BUTTON. And now, THE GREEN HORNET. I love the casting of Stephen Chow. I love that he’s directing it. I have utmost faith in Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg as writers.

And now, there’s a new bit of casting announced, and I suspect that for many comedy fans, this won’t be a name that they immediately get excited about.

I’ll tell you, though, I recently had a chance to sit down and see about 30 minutes or so of OBSERVE & REPORT, the new film from Jody Hill, director of THE FOOT FIST WAY and HBO’s upcoming EAST BOUND AND DOWN, and Michael Pena has a role in that film that is so absolutely bizarre and hilarious that it makes sense to me that Rogen, who is the star of OBSERVE & REPORT, would immediately want to work with him again.

Here’s the e-mail we got earlier today from erstwhile editor of IESB, Robert “Not the one who crashed the train” Sanchez:

Peña says Seth Rogen has offered him a role in the upcoming superhero film THE GREEN HORNET.
