Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. I know you were as bummed as I was when Stephen Chow dropped out of the director's seat (and there's no mention of him participating as Kato in Variety's new piece today), but they've moved in a fascinating choice for helmer.

One Mr. Michel Gondry now looks to be directing GREEN HORNET, starring Seth Rogen and scripted by Evan Goldberg. That's definitely good news. I think the focus of BE KIND REWIND wasn't in the right place (the Sweding, to be specific), but I loved both SCIENCE OF SLEEP and ETERNAL SUNSHINE and, even more relevant, I loved his episode of FLIGHT OF THE CONCHORDS this season. He did the one where Jermaine falls in love with an Australian and it's just as doomed and forbidden a love as Romeo & Juliet. Easily the funniest episode of the season.

Anyway, that's the news. I think it bodes well and I'm really curious to see what the familiar pairing of Goldberg and Rogen brings to this particular material. I didn't grow up on the show like a lot of people did, but the iconography has stuck with me. What are your thoughts?

This is what I get for just acting upon reading, instead of checking my own site first. Here's my take from the double post:

Hey folks, Harry here and GREEN HORNET officially just jumped the rails and is in territory where I can't conceive of what this movie is going to be now. But I'm excited, terrified, intrigued, filled with trepidation and curiosity. Brilliant & sometime erratic director Michel Gondry is directing Seth Rogen and Stephen Chow in THE GREEN HORNET according to Variety. I have no earthly idea what the resulting film is going to be. Not a single moment. What is this film now? I really haven't a clue.
