UPDATED!! This Pic Of Seth Rogen As THE GREEN HORNET Isn't As Cool As Neeson As Zeus...
HERE's another pic of Rogen in costume, holding his little Hornet gun. This one shows Kato beside him.
Merrick here...
Over the weekend, Batman On Film slipped this picture of Seth Rogen (in costume as The Green Hornet) onto the internet.
As far as I know, this is the first time we've seen any pics of Rogen wearing the actual hero costume from the movie (although there've been some photoshops making the rounds).
Or, did I miss something?
Thanks to Ryan for the heads up.

seeing as how the image is broken lol- also possibly first?

.. that's the Green Hornet alright. Looks a lot better than I expected actually.
-
that looks horribly fake.
-
It doesnt look like him to me.
-
looks like he's late to a halloween party.
-
... I mean ANYONE, at all, ACTUALLY clamouring for this thing? Half the world hasn't even heard of the Green Hornet. The other half will just get it confused with the Green Lantern. And BOTH halves, surely, really really don't want another Seth Rogen film.
-
from the spirit movie?

...or oscars. in more categories than i can count.

This Pic Of Seth Rogen As THE GREEN HORNET Isn't As Cool As The Pic I Just Took Of A Turd In The Toilet Bowl.
-
I'm freakin' shocked.
-
else we would have assumed those are his normal street clothes
-
.. did someone have to bring up that movie they called The Spirit? I'm bummed now. Will Eisner needs to rise from the grave and gouge Frank Miller's eyes out for making that travesty.

Yes...this was a franchise just screaming for the big screen. Just like The Phantom. Or The Shadow. Or Elektra. My goodness, this is long, long overdue. And my god yes, we need an overexposed comic actor with current buzz in the title role, naturally. What role will Shia have in this blockbuster? And Jude of course. And Megan as the love interest! Perfect! There; I'll be stopping by the studio myself this week to pick up my check.
-
Until we see some moving images, I'm still on the fence with this. But I'm still almost certain it's only an action/comedy reinvention that WILL win Oscars, or epic failure on the scale of Howard The Duck.
-
you missed something. this is like the third or fourth shot of rogen in that costume i have seen in the last days.
-
otherwise, I don't see how a 'mystery man' outfit makes sense in the age of the superhero.
-
CRAP!
-
Hats off for getting in to the role.
-
This will be a Jeopardy answer in ten years. THIS WAS THE LAST MOVIE THAT SETH ROGEN EVER STARRED IN.
-
Because it was, Green Hornet fans, would madder than I don't know, a hornet.
-
because I can't tell who it is. It sure doesn't look like Seth Rogen.

How quaint.

But there are more photos at that link on the top right side of that page. So you can see more images of him in costume if you desire.

I appreciate the little touches in character presentation. It could also mean Rogen's neck is too fact for the 17" collar, which is also *very* possible.

The Popeye Doyle hat takes the cake. I betcha the whole time he was doing that scene he was thinking, "Man, I'm about to keel over! This shit is heavy wool and it's about a million friggin' degrees out here! And I dopped 20 pounds before this started filming! I should have dropped 10 more...Fuck!"

-
Kung POW chicken bitches!!!!!!!!!
-
...that is what this reminds me of.
-
Half the movie, Rogen will be a fit gent, the other half he'll be the Pillsbury Dough-jew. See how I threw a "jew" reference into another word? That's for you, Rogen. I learned from the master.
-
i think it looks cool

I expect 6th or 5th place at the box office opening weekend if they are looking and a haul of no less then $3m in BO returns.

That's not Rogan, That's one of his stunt doubles...
by bizarroasimovlives
Kinda like those three or four stuntmen on stand by in Spidey suits when Tobey can't handle a certain stunt.
Only with Rogan, they got a couple of thin guys waiting to double his fat ass when scenes that include running or fighting come about, or walking for that matter.
No matter how much he "commits" himself to this role, There's noway an audience is going to take this shit seriously. Green Hornet should've been played by Daniel Craig or Ray Liotta or somebody more badass than Rogan .
He should've done "THE GREATEST AMERICAN HERO" instead. That material is more up his alley. -
Was it about Ahmadinejad being a Jew?
-
Asscot Chang??!?!?!! BWAAHHHAHHAAAHAHAHHAAA!!!!!
-
Add Rogen to my list (along with Diablo Cody) of "When will everyone realize their 15 minutes were up 15 minutes ago?"
-
I pissed myself while unconscious from that news!!!
-
With that freaky mutant hand! Hey, don't sweat it, Seth (may I call you Seth?) Billy Zane did the Phantom and he managed to lead a happy life afterwards. No wait, skinny Leo Dio kicked the shit out of him, he lost all of his hair, and now plays supporting roles in direct-to-VHS tape movies in Guatemala.
You have saved that Knocked Up money, right? -
I just don't get what the tone of this film will be.
-
I prefer to call him a "Jew For Mohammed" even though Mohammed probably wouldn't have like Ahmadinejad personally. A "Jew For Member's Only" maybe?

Damn you Seth!!!!!
-
if you look at the other pics you can tell
-
Wouldn't that look amazing in HD!!!!
-
First of all, so what if Rogen is known as a comedic actor? Would this be the first time such an actor did a more dramatic role? While I'm not comparing their acting ability, Tom Hanks was thought as a comedy guy for years.Second, why must an adapted character be known by kids or teens? Do they have to KNOW the character to like the movie? That's the attitude that gives us no original movies. So, they'll just think it's an original action hero. Big deal.
-
Seth is looking a lot better than I thought he would. He looks heroic and determined. I will just wait and see how this develops.
-
How is it that the stunt double looks just like Seth Rogen?

Unlike most of the people in this thread, I still like Seth Rogan and want him to have a long and prosperous career. Unfortunately he took the Hornet Bait. It's been dangled in front of so many before and most of them have realised eventually that it's a bad idea and get off the project. Basically Seth Rogan is a naive sucker for doing this. He's going to have a bona fide grade A level bomb on his hands I'm guessing. There is NO demand for this character. So Seth if you're reading this, I hope the script and direction is AMAZING and you pull this off. But that's what it's going to take, because you ain't riding through on the coattails of this property's rabid fanbase, buddy... No. One. Gives. A. Fuck.

-
I was wrong. Shit!
-
A paunchy comedic actor and a pop star as Green Hornet and Kato! Wonderful! Brilliant! The Hollywood brain trust strikes again!...Fuck heads!
-
part comedy part action. Rogen desperately wants to do action. The closest anyone gets to a "buddy cop" action movie with humor and action these days is Rogen. The genre is starved and even now he is making the "comedy" more of the focus than the action. Jokes>action+blood/diaz=Green Hornet. I actually liked PE more for Franco and McBride but I liked the attempt at a new tone in action comedy. Craig Robinson was great in PE too. HOT TUB TIME MACHINE!!!!!!!!
-
This will (hopefully) bomb.
-
that bong he is carrying is loaded?
-
Didn't Funny People (costing 75 million to make??? Does Johan Hill really eat that much these days?) flooping hard mean anything to Seth Rogan?
-
Well, I'll give him this, at least he has lost weight. But the comment that he looks like a Comic-Con fan dressed up as the Hornet rather than the Hornet is spot on. Hollywood just loves certain people. If they love Rogen and want to have him make crappy comedies forever that's fine, but an action hero?
-
...why the fawk you're even watching him. Stay fat, Rogie. At least we can laugh at that.

But it looks promising.

-
I was afraid this movie wasn't gonna get made
what a fuckin waste of money -
No, seriously. Much better than I expected. I still have no faith that the movie will be good, but at least that image doesn't make it look like THE SPIRIT (although it very well could be).
-
But only as a Superhero revisionist movie (not as a parody, which is boring and predictable). The only reason to make a movie about the Green Hornet is to take him places and do things you could never do with Batman or any of the other major heroes (like have the hero lose or very flawed).
The Green Hornet should be to superhero movies what THE LONG GOODBYE and CHINATOWN were to detective movies, and MCCABE & MRS. MILLER and LITTLE BIG MAN were to Westerns. -
I'm really looking forward to seeing this crash and burn upon release. The arrogance of thinking they can shove one of the most boring characters in history down our throats through sheer force of personality...
-
I think the key to successful mature porn (for me at least) is that you can tell the old bird was a real fucking slut in her prime. I don't want none of these malformed type of older ladies. I want a 45 year-old that still takes care of herself, has a lot of enthusiasm and is extremely into the sex. That's what's needed. Banging granny is too twisted for my old-fashioned taste.
-
The Hornet hate is amazing. What did he ever do to you guys? Ha! I'm reserving judgement until I at least see a trailer though. These set photos are almost always lackluster at best... but then again I've always liked the pulpy crime-fighter stuff. Even if this isn't great it might make some money and clear the way for another Shadow flick or even better, Doc Savage.
-
Ha ha, I was thinking the same thing. It must be hard work to be so pissed about EVERY god damn thing posted on here. I don't know how they do it. I mean you look at that picture, it's not much, but I think Rogen undeniably looks better than anybody figured he would. Oh well, still gotta go on here and try to work up some crazed pitbull outrage.
Plus, who the fuck calls somebody a "ponce"? Sorry Raymar, you lost this battle as soon as you thought calling somebody a "ponce" was the approach to take.
Anyway I can't really picture what this movie is gonna be like, and that's why it's interesting. I mean, Rogen writing a super hero movie, Michel Gondry directing? That's a weird combo. That's the kind of potentially weird and unpredictable movie I look forward to. I'd think more people here would appreciate the potential of this thing. -
...and we all know how weak that shit was.
-
.. WAS weak... but only because Frank Miller thought he was more clever than Will Eisner. It should have been kickass. The comics certainly were.
-
I won't write this one off because I haven't seen anything yet either, but I get the vibe that this is an expensive revival of a character that is really isn't sought after by the geek community at large. You're right, there's potential here but Rogen's wearing thin for me and Gondry's ETERNAL is the only movie of his that I liked.
-
and don't give a rat's ass about the Green Hornet.

That old 60's show was pretty fun stuff. And it introduced the world to the awesomeness of Bruce Lee. Sure I'd rather not have pudgy, lame-ass Seth Rogen as Britt Reid but I remember the same thing being said about Michael Keaton as Batman. Sure I'd rather have a great Hong Kong action star like Stephen Chow (How'd they fuck that up, anyway?) as Kato instead of some poncy Asian pop star (But maybe he'll surprise us). I'm sure we'll at least get something strange and unexpected from Gondry so people, just give it a freakin' chance before you freak out all over. Damn.

Take a look at the 2nd picture linked at the beginning of this article. Who does that look like sitting down behind the Green Hornet? You can just see part of his head, but with Rogen, that's all it takes. It is obviously Rogen sitting behind the guy wearing the Green Hornet suit in that 2nd picture. This guy is a stunt double or stand in, given even more credence by the fact that in the 2nd picture, the guy in the Green Hornet suit is standing on a padded mat lol.
-
Seth got jacked you can hear the frustration in his voice. He is nowhere near that decent of an actor to fake it. He was violated
-
"Hey... hey... HEY!!!"
-
in the second pic
-
another picture shows that guy behind him is clearly NOT Rogen. I guess that is Rogen in costume in that pic.
-
I, too, cannot understand the mean spirited "cool" cynicism that every damn story is met with. If you want to say you THINK it'll be bad, that's one thing. But to sit there and type that you're looking forward to it being bad? Wouldn't you like something to entertain you, for Christ's sake??No one seems to be able to get this type of character right yet. The Shadow sucked because they tried to cram all this weird magic and mysticism into it. The Spirit failed because Miller can no longer approach anything resembling a superhero without making it a twisted, ironic parody of the genre.
-
it isn't green hornet hate, it's seth rogen hate
Having mumbles play any superhero or any kind of action character is a waste of resources and time -
The epitome of suck. Also, eventhough Seth Rogen lost weight, he still looks fight. Seth should just stick to comedies. That's what he's good at.

look at the fucking source article you turkeys...its the stunt double..Rogan is fucking WATCHING HIM from the back

Not The Green Hornet.
And The Green Hornet was cool (emphasis on WAS) back in the 30s and 40s. You know, back when Batman basically ripped him and the Shadow off, and when US GIs in Europe would call Patton "The Green Hornet" because of that God ugly tanker uniform he made with the gold football helmet. -

Almost no one likes The Green Hornet and about 60% of the world never even heard of him. So why is this shit being shoved down our throats? There's this whole campaign around it. This kind of forced likability that's being put upon us. Were Hollywood execs expecting us to be excited when they announced Seth Rogen as the Green Hornet? OMG! What a great choice! Because he's a box office draw and you know, just yesterday I was in bed thinking, who would be perfect to play the amazingly famous, Green Hornet!

Wow, I can tell soooooo much about this film from a few pics leaked to the internets. It gives me the chance for a good, solid opinion of the work. You guys need to shut the fuck up. I don't see your asses out there making a film. try it sometime instead of sitting around sniping at the incomplete work of others.
-
There have been multiple sets of these photos and the guys sitting on the truck in the background are the stunt doubles. It's Rogen and Chou acting out the scene.
-
That is why Bruce Lee stole the show as a supporting character. For those (and it seems like everyone)who don't know, Rogen was on Howard Stern months ago talking about this project. This was still when Stephen Chow was attached. He said that this movie was going to play like a Clouseau Pink Panther deal. The Green Hornet is a bumbling retard who is always saved by Kato. Anyone clamoring for a serious film or think Rogen is trying to do a heroic turn are sadly mistaken. That said Rogen is no Sellers but he still might pull it out.
-
StatelyWayneManor, you win for funniest. BringingSexyBack, you get second. Thanks!
And Vern et al, this movie really deserves to be hated, that's why we're all hating on it. But you pegged me, at least. I look forward to it's sucking and bombing. But there's always hope. Is there a reason to hate on this less than Catwoman and Co? -
But I fucking doubt it!

i mean really... rogen as the green hornet?? i hope it is successful and a good movie just for the curiosity factor, cos i simply can not imagine how it can be good

Just sayin..
-
I disagree. I think this looks way more fun already than Clash of the Titans. It's guys in masks running amok, while Titans appears to be overdressed English actors standing around and speechifying at each other. I'll take the Hornet and Kato and the insane French guy who made "Eternal Sunshine" any day.

Ok granted there is a double in one of the pics behind him. You don't know the other is a double. The whole point of a double is they are the same height and weight as the actor. You could be right, but pure speculation at the moment, man.

It's going to be a bad ass monster/ action movie. I'll take both movies if I'm allowed. If not I'll take Perseus and Zeus and the insane French guy who made "Incredible Hulk" anyday.

...please explain to the rest of the world who this Green Lant... I mean Green Hornet and his gay Asian lover is supposed to be. So we (rest of the world) can also be in on the joke. Are they from a actual show or comic???

cut back on the cheeseburgers and trimmed the jew fro.
-
Thank ya much

I'm so sick of these damn spoiled Hollywood brats getting their way because they're the flavor of the month.
Do you have any idea how many potentially great intellectual properties have been bludgeoned to death on film due to talentless mo-fos getting to make their "pet projects"? -
used to be on tv here in the UK!
-
Typing Green Hornet into google would take less than a minute. Please don't lump the rest of the world in with you. We all pretty much know what it is or have seen it.
-
If you have to ask, the material is not for you.
-
.....so if studio executives are so un-creative, why aren't talented people taking their jobs?
I know Jews control Hollywood, but surely even those crazy Shmeckle motherfukers should realize that quality = goldmine? Right?
So why aren't they hiring basement dwellers by the thousands? Just hire every TB'er here.
Imagine what they would create....

This material is not for *anybody* anymore. It originated in an era where "crimefighting" was taken more literally and the bad guys robbed banks and kidnapped heiresses, then high-tailed it over county or state lines to evade the local keystone cops who didn't have anything beyond local jurisdiction. This is the stuff of radio shows from the '30's and '40's (The Shadow, The Phantom, Dick Tracy)--and it flat out does not translate to a modern era. "Oooo, that guy sure is bad, he's bootlegging whiskey--*with no tax stamp!*--quick, call the Green Hornet!" "Boy, Big Al's Gang sure is causing trouble, extorting those merchants over on the West Side. And the cops can't do *anything!* We need the Green Hornet!" Yawn. Either the film is a period piece like The Shadow, The Phantom etc. and dies the death of camp, or they set it in the modern era and audiences will be unwilling to suspend belief that a guy wearing a green mask and outfit from the '40's could survive 15 minutes in a street fight in Compton--much less deal with, say terrorists blowing up hospitals, hijacking nuclear weapons, or other modern concerns. "Oh no, that man just robbed a bank--and he has a *machine gun!* This looks like a job for the Green Hornet!" Please.
-
I guess the geeks were right after all, Seth Rogen as The Green Hornet is really not such a good idea. Good Lord!
-
This is a bomb from the word go. What a terrible waste of financing.
-
The Phantom is the closest movie one can measure this against (and potentially the cock-gobble fest that was The Shadow). This movie looks terrible. Just be honest Harry and team....it looks AWFUL and there isn't the slightest bit of excitement over its' release. Oh and Vern? PONCE! PONCE!

..and we ALL know what those pics have in common.....riiiigght..

I can't wait for Jonah Hill to be casted as CAPTAIN AMERICA.
by roketopunch
He was born to take this role.
-
A dust cloud? Jonah Hex, maybe? Looks like they're in the "Old West."
-
And this is coming from a Jew. We're corrupt as hell. We also have a "Us Vs. Them" attitude. Fuck, we even have a name for anyone who isn't a Jew---Gentiles. I challenge any Jew to defend our race in a inteligent and coherent fashion because I can't. BTW, Bernie Madoff rules bitches!!!!!!!
-
The Green Hornet - about a guy who dresses in a green suit and coat and mask and hat and fights bad guys. The picture shows a guy dressed in a green suit and coat and mask and hat in some sort of dramatic pursuit.
The actor in the suit seems to be in good enough physical shape to portray this action-oriented character.
What do you want? Nipples on body armor? CGI? Puppets? -
Where's Media Messiah when you need him?
-
reassess "Daredevil" after this.
-
When was it decided that
a) this movie "deserves" to fail
b) this material isn't "fit for anybody"
c) having Rogen attached means that this movie "must" bomb, and above all
d) that all of you discerning Scorceses and Kubricks can feel validated in these opinions because a photo.
What a bunch of jackasses. By all means come slag on something if it deserves it, but at least wait until there is something worth slagging ... like even a script, or trailer or single scene. .
There is simply no breathing room here any more. The hate comes instantly, and solely for hate's sake. I'm getting too old for this shit. I gotta go find a better place to hang out. Somewhere with movie fans. -
you'll never be able to fight crime in those boots. You'll hear them from a mile away, and they'll slow you down and hinder your escape plan. The sound person is obviously going to edit out the dragging and shuffling noises made from those boots.
-
Stellan Skarsgård in Thor, eh? Always like seeing him, though I don't think he has quite the godlike presence and fieriness for Odin. But he would fit the bill if Branagh's going for a moodier, Wallander-style approach. Which doesn't sound as fun, but he's the boss. I'm already disappointed in the casting for Thor himself, but am definitely wanting Branagh to prove me wrong and come up with something great. Can't wait to see how this is going to look. We can at least feel confident that Branagh won't stick anyone in a black leather trench coat.
-
If you look at the other pics, you'll see the stunt double working on set. Rogen is chubbier and has more stubble.
-
...is the typical movie "fan" of today. That is, a typical pavlovian douchebag that starts drooling at the prospect of this week's latest studio pap, just because it's something new and shiny and distracting. Nevermind that 99% of what the studios churn out is dogfood anyway, or that the provenance of The Green Hornet rests in radio serials from the 1930's with a hero that spent his time fighting racketeers and crooked officials (ooooo, real action hero material for the 21st century). Nope, despite the distinct stench of failure we "should wait until there is something worth slagging"; this tard doesn't understand that the entire *premise* is worth "slagging"--you don't get that this is not and never was a good idea. "Ooohhh, you should wait till they come out with a script or a trailer or a single scene!" Yeah right, *then* we'll have enough to judge better. I can tell from your vernacular that "y'all ain't from round here" and may not even know what a green hornet is. Rest assured that your betters from the Colonies that created the original character are looking out for your welfare by giving advance warning: this whole effort is just a paycheck to all involved and the results will most assuredly reflect it. And your admonishment to "wait and see" is music to hollywood ears and a reminder that they can continue to recycle old ideas and titles, over and over again, because there will always be a hard core of idiot m00kiedoods out there always willing to give the benefit of the doubt on opening weekend, even for the most phoned-in of efforts. Gee, thanks.

negative dickheads like you on this site shitting on every single thread. He's right, wait till there's actually something to bust on. It's ONE still from what appears to be a 2-hour flick.

-
as thor, minus the 300 fucking fat ass beer gut body of course.
-
that you can't even think straight anymore. Why does it matter AT ALL if this is a character anybody likes? I personally don't give a shit other than the Bruce Lee angle, but why does that mean it's a good or bad movie? Did you only like DARK KNIGHT (assuming you did - some of you I'm sure have never liked any movie ever) because it was a registered trademark you already liked? I would argue no, it has nothing to do with "franchises" and "intellectual property" and all this stupid businessman horse shit you guys always talk about - it's that it's a great story told using those things.
Would you have NOT liked RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK if it turned out Indiana Jones had already existed as some pulp character nobody heard of? Maybe, but if so you're a dumbass.
The argument that this movie is terrible because your teenage friends never heard of what it's based on before is completely meaningless, and yet has come up probly 50 times in this talkback. Let's do better than this, talkbackers. Let's start demanding AT LEAST basic competence of ourselves if not excellence. -
Oh I'm sorry you're right. The Green Hornet looks to be an exciting addition to the pantheon of action hero films that have come out of hollywood in recent years. Hollywood's track record with superhero and action hero films has been remarkably "successful", with *each movie* attracting *at least* one or two adherents who feel the story captures the essential heroic elements of the title character. The Green Hornet is expected to be no different, and boffo BO opening weekend is practically guaranteed. As the majority of the movie-going public, particularly the basement-denizens that frequent a certain website known by the initials "AICN", appear to have masochistic tendencies and an inability to apply rational thought in assessing the likelihood that a formulaic film based on an 80-year-old obscure crime fighting character would make for an interesting film for the 21st century, there will be few if any naysayers to put a damper on opening weekend receipts. Bravo hollywood, bravo! I'm sorry you think there's too much negativity around here, perhaps it's overcompensation for the typical comments by slobbering cock gobblers such as yourself who feel that every POS pinched out by the studios is "worth a look" or that "it could be good, just give it a chance!" Learn to read the writing on the wall and become a more discerning consumer, or we'll only continue to be subjected to the whims and brain farts of hollywood. You dick.
-
That's actually not a conventional pistol, it's a gun that sprays knock-out gas. The Green Hornet used a variety of unconventional weapons in fighting bad guys: the gas pistol, "infra-green" (sigh) headlights on his car The Black Beauty, Kato's martial artistry, etc.
-
Unless you are trolling, in which case: well done!
-
Yeah, there are "fanboys" who will just see anything that comes along. They aren't that common on the talkbacks though except when Transformers movies come out. The other side of it is the arrogant douchebags that are so proud of being cynical and nitpicky that they think just pissing over everything is some kind of subversive attack on corporate America, and as a consequence they'll never notice or acknowledge anything interesting or original that happens to sneak out of Hollywood. I am not calling you an arrogant douchebag, to be clear, just strongly implying that the words you write indicate that you are definitely one. So don't be offended.
Your argument would make sense with another movie that seemed generic, but this is the writer of PINEAPPLE EXPRESS and the director of THE SCIENCE OF SLEEP. It would be an odd combo even if it wasn't them trying to do what they claim is a fairly serious super hero movie. You can't pretend that this is gonna be very similar to other super hero movies that have ever come out, at least not until there is some evidence to support that, which there isn't yet. -
I cannot stop laughing when i see Seth in that green suite, i cannot stop laughing about the whole concept.
Maybe against all odds this will be a sleeper hit but i smell turkey.
Also reading this talkback made me laugh out loud.
"So this is how cinema dies, in a green suite" Classic.
-
they're trying to adapt the character FOR the 21st century? Douchebag? Btw, how did you know the pet name I gave to your mom? "Slobbering cock gobbler"?
-
stick up for this movie, but I'm also not about to call it a "piece of shit" because I don't know thing one about this project. Learn to enjoy it, don't step in line or just simply GET FUCKED are your options. In the mean time...feel free to pollute the threads.
-
Fuck fidelity to the source material. Some things just doesnt age well.
-
You admit you "don't know one thing about this project" but suggest that everyone else lay off even though they actually know what The Green Hornet historically was all about. I'm told that I "can't pretend that this is gonna be very similar to other super hero movies" even though: 1) hero setup is taken directly from radio and film serials, and its non-camp tv show in the '60s. 2) hero dresses up in period costume--with trademark mask. 3) hero arms himself with gadgets and stuff associated with previous incarnations of the character. I don't know, it sure looks like the filmakers are adopting enough standard superhero tropes that this film is going to be quite similar to other superhero movies. It makes sense to give a film that is a completely unknown quantity the benefit of the doubt, but if they've adopted this many constraints associated with the original source material, it's hard to see how they can end up with anything that ends up too far from that material. The "evidence" that supports that this will not turn out well *is* the source material; we don't need to see if, gee, maybe they came up with a compelling script, or wow, what a trailer. The Green Hornet is a bad idea in the same way that The Shadow, The Phantom or The Spirit were bad ideas--no compelling conflict, no compelling villains, just a guy prowling around after baddies. You know, enjoying film also means being able to understand what it is that you *don't* enjoy as well, and being able to recognize bad ideas or poorly executed ones. Just a heads up: this is one that has red flashing lights and a bright neon sign on it that says "failure."
-
Please share the script you obviously must have for this. Or the shooting edits, or the dailies, or whatever it is that you must have access to, since you're so sure that this movie is: unfaithful to source, exactly like all the other crap, and suffers from having any compelling story or villain.
Because reaching that opinion must be based on something more substantial than just a set photo, right? Because that would be douchey, and you have made it very clear that you're a discerning student of film and a savvy observer of Hollywood. So you wouldn't jump to a fanboy conclusion like that just based on no evidence, right?
Remember the fury on this site when the first photo of Daniel Craig as 007 popped up? And the frothing that took place, and the petitons? And then the movie came out to both critical and fanboy praise?
On second thought, you probably hated it from the first set photo to the end credits, and so were proven right.
Please tell me a couple movies you really loved, so I'll know where your head is at in terms of your considerable opinion regarding this one. -
1) I'm not "so sure the movie is unfaithful to source"; if you understood my rants above I made it pretty clear that they're being *quite* faithful to source--which is the problem.
2) The Green Hornet did not have compelling villains (he fought "racketeers") and his alter ego was a newspaper publisher. On the face of it, these are not obvious hooks on which to hang an action movie.
3) I've not reached my opinion on a set photo; my opinion is based on my knowledge of the source material, and the set photos I've seen have clearly identified this as a period piece where filmmakers have gone back to the source material to base their movie.
4) And I said before, no one needs to see a script, or a trailer, or the dailies, to see how this is going to end up. They have started this venture with crap; where can they go with it? It's clear you know nothing about the history of this character or previous productions involving him, otherwise you wouldn't be so insistent that more "evidence" is needed. Come on: I would no more have high expectations for this movie than I would a Barbie movie, or a movie about the Flying Nun. I mean, good lord...at least give some indication that you can recognize a reasonable or unreasonable subject for a movie that's intended to entertain. Jeezus. -
Firstly, fuck you again.
Secondly, I've seen the freaking source material. I've watched the show. I know about this character and its various treatments. You are not the only fucking genius that understands the source material, and to use this to justify your hate for this is exceptionally stupid.
Thirdly, none of the problems you have with the Green Hornet TV or radio shows, or plots, can provide you with any insight on this movie. We don't know if it's being played straight or sideways, or if this movie will be good or bad, or whether it will have a plot or a villain or not.
Fourthly, fuck you again.
Fifthly, you are truly one prescient little fucker if you can determine that "set photos I've seen have clearly identified" what the plot for this will be, and that "no one needs to see a script, or a trailer, or the dailies, to see how this is going to end up".
Holy fuck, man. Seriously. For this, two more fuck you's.
And finally, for compelling me to come on here and talk about a movie, and a character, and a property that I absolutely have no vested interest in, a very special fuck you.
I don't care if this movie sucks or soars, I am not opening my mouth for this to be "shoved down my throat" (how the fuck does Hollywood shove movies down YOUR throat anyway, asshole?), I am not getting all jazzed about it or saying we should all line up and "give it a try."
I may never see this. I may see the trailer and decide to take a pass. I may read a review by someone who's opinion I trust, and decide it's not for me.
But there is no way in hell I could stoop to the level of douchery you've displayed, by guaranteeing a film will suck because I can't imagine how it could be a "reasonable subject for a movie".
For the love of god and to restore just a sliver of faith in the high schoolers of America, would you please tell me you are just a troll? -
Dude you need to stick to half a cup. Coffee is not your friend.
-
"Please tell me a couple movies you really loved, so I'll know where your head is at in terms of your considerable opinion regarding this one."
Even if it is a period piece it could still end up being relevent as a film for today. With todays film standards, what does it really have to lose? I'm a film fan through and through. I know when to give a flick a chance and when to call it a day. Couldn't there be a chance that your *gasp* wrong here? -
