She is approaching 40. That is insane.
Remember when she use to be hot?
MEH DEUX!
Poor Rogan.I jsut DON'T SEE this being a hit, but I imagine i won't TRULY be able to judge untill some sort of trailer gets cut.But man, it can't be anything near entyertaining.I do LOVE GONDRY though
I still don't understand what to expect from this weird collaboration, maybe, that's good thing? http://protectyourbutterfingerbar.yahoo.com/?v=5I4PxnJtk
who's playing kato now?
Not that I'm some cranky fanboy keping score or anything ;). WHo loves ya, Merrick? I DO!!!
I think I would be interested.The only 2 decent things are CAGE(he's great, espeically in a zany role...and ESPECIALLY if he's the bad guy-something he doesn;t do)...and Gondry. But rogen? Diaz? Adama? man, this doesn't seemt o fit together
You've got to be kidding me with the retro shit! It's like instead of the Tumbler they tried to recreate Barris Batmobile in Begins. It's absolute nonsense to have this turd putting around in a CONTEMPORARY reboot!
Why is it traumatizing?
instead of movies?
he had producer credits on that dragonball thing...urgh...
It feels like they've been making this movie for 20 years.
still looks to damn goofy for this role. He lost a little weight but kept the scruffy beard and the Jew fro. I guess being incognito is the whole point. I would never fucking believe he was a super hero or crime fighter or whatever.
Cosmetic surgery is a helluva thing.
remember, Chow baled on this shit, not the other way around. I think he's a smart dude. This looks like dog shit. No fucking way this will be taken seriously.
Slowed my system down dramatically. Can't even open Safari (of all things).
Wow, I'm sorry to hear that, Merrick. I haven't had that sort of that issue with S.L. I wonder what's up with your installation?
Merrick, when you say you cannot open Safari, are you trying to open the verrsion of Safari that was installed prior to your upgrading to Snow Leopard? Because you should be using an upgraded version of Safari that comes with Snow Leopard. I'm not sure if the version of Safari you were using prior to installation will work anymore.
Feel good comedy of the year!
a head of lettuce left out.
Is kevin smith involved?
in The Mask ? She looks haggish now. I mean for Hollywood not for the Earth.
Is this "the" running joke here? I must be out of the loop because, yes she looks older than Rogan but she doesn't look hagard either.
Prove that Knocked Up and Pineapple Express were flukes, thats 3 in a row people. 3 flops in a row means Rogen is technically in a recession. Very very very bad idea to make this movie. But then thats the Weinstiens for you.
It's almost this fanboy pasttime to bash the guy. Damn.
Snow Leopard tells me I need a new version, but there are no newer versions available that I can find (at Apple's site & what not). There were no Safari options/toggles during the install?

Even Ben Affleck worked his ass off and trained to act blind for a turd like Daredevil. You'd think at least Rogen would do a COUPLE of sit-ups. And Kato's mask fits like Catwoman's helmet, btw. This won't make a dime, like The Phantom or The Spirit didn't make a dime.
Like a LOT.
I mean yeah he's a decent weight now but not exactly superhero material. He still looks like a pie-muncher.
it's cool that he's seemed to slim down a bit, but is it really that hard to give him a haircut that doesn't make him look like a stoner?
is he in this movie or did he just show up on set, he seems to have a moustache, but it might be for another role
I' rather watch video of a colonoscopy than this shite!

if this is stylish camp with a nice bam pow filmed look, it could be amazimg
...than willingly pay to see anything with that cock Rogen in.
Sorry, but he's just got one of those faces I'd never get tired of punching.
Seriously, why?
Rogen should've did the Brown Hornet instead.

Overrated bitch in Hollywood of the last twenty years only second to that useless cunt Julia Roberts. Fucking asshole refuses to do nudity but didn't mind wearing leather and fishnet stockings while blasting her nipples with compressed air to get them hard back when she was a nobody.
In comparison, there are hundreds of great British and European actresses that can not only give a good performance but will also drop their clothes any time. Serously, why is Cameron Fucking Diaz considered to be some sort of superstar and Eva Green is relatively unknown apart from Casino Royale?
If you're going to do a character like the GREEN HORNET, you have to do him right. Doing that means you need to actually, you know, listen to things like his credo as it's said on the radio show: "He hunts the biggest of all game - public enemies who try to destroy our America." Yeah, that's just exactly what Seth's pot-smokking character is going to do, go after the Mexican drug cartels or Chinese toy manufacturers. No, he'll go after white businessmen and corrupt U.S. offociais. Uh-huh. Keep smoking, Britt.
I love my iPhone - but would never use an apple computer because of the limitations in hardware upgrades and the lack of game support. I would love to mock your bogus install...but the only good thing I can say about my last 2 years VISTA experience is that I have gotten REALLY good at troubleshooting and re-installing my O/S. But of course Windows 7 will fix all that......please God let Windows 7 work....
... is to hate this. But I had the same reaction with Keaton and Batman back in the day and had to eat crow. Of course Nolan's is better, but the Burton version revolutionized Batsy back then. I hope I'm wrong about this one too.. it IS Gondry after all.
Just hearing her name makes me angry. With her goddamn smile from one ear to the other. She's also a thief who robbed Ellen Burstyn at the Academy Awards.
... underwhelmed.
Well put. Rogen was great in 40 y/o virgin, but he started to lose my support around an hour in to Knocked up - the bits where he is yelling at the doctor over the phone and then the sister in the delivery room are cringe inducing. Superbad (most overrated movie in years) sealed his doom - worst ad-libbing and fake laughter. I predict Rogen will be on sitcoms in another couple of years then do a stint as a game show host and finally end up dealing pot out of his car.
is that him? i want to say no, but the build, the head shape sorta looks like the guy.But the hat and glasses make it impossible to tell.THIS to me is the MOST interesting thing of this lot of pics.
When did that happen?
Craig's 'stache is for a character he's playing on Broadway in a show called "A Steady Rain" with Hugh Jackman.
but that is Bond, James Bond.
Diaz was good looking for The Mask and ever since then it's like she's been sucking on the fugly pills. Julia Roberts... fucking hell! She just shit and fugly.
Lastly I'm glad Chow bailed in time and this is already getting an Avengers vibe.
Thank you Seth for somehow getting your greesy mitts all over this property. I used to have such hope for a great big screen version of Hornet. Now I'm just getting the same wired feelings I had prior to seeing Batman and Robin. I know I shouldn't be this judgementel for a few pics, but I can't help it. I miss Chow. I wish the studio had fired Seth's big ass and kept Chow.
okay, this WILL seriously flop(sorry Gondry...there IS hope for you yet at least)
On the Snow Leopard DVD, go into the Optional Installs folder. Double click on Optional Installs.mpkg. Theree are many programs there, including Snow Leopard versions of iChat, Mail and Safari.
Seriously...
Oh wait, he's a fat useless unfunny douche. I forgot.
Freshly cooked Buffalo Wings with a side of Garlic Fries. Yummy:)
Seth Rogen as The Green Hornet is the worst casting since every actor was cast in "Batman and Robin."
For the 2-3 Rogen apologists out there, consider where the hate comes from. The guy was in 7 (7!) movies in 2008 - wtf? No one is that entertaining. And now, not content just to make too many movies, he has also turned to making really shitty movies, like Funny People. A big factor is he isn't a comedian and too many of his scripts allow for too much ad-libbing. Fewer projects, better written scripts might salvage his career, but I won't be seeing his movies. That grinding fake laugh of his makes me want to put a gun in my mouth.
Remember when that was supposed to happen? Clooney was gonna do it, but dropped out to do Batman & Robin? So they were gonna get Kinnear? That would at least have been unintentionally funny.
He's not going near this piece of shit, is he? It doesn't matter who else is involved. It has Seth Rogen in it, which equals total ass.
All I do is bitch about stuff that hasn't come out yet so I can be all trendy and start a new wave of hate. All Hail Being Pathetic!
Jeez that thing is huge. You almost expect her to be stumbling around in Size 22 high heels too.
Nobody under the age of 40 wants or needs to see THE GREEN HORNET. Seth Rogen could barely get people to the theater by tagging along with Adam Sandler in FUNNY PEOPLE. No one's going to give a rat's ass about this film. You watch. A #2 or #3 opening weekend at best... then off to oblivion it goes!
this will be *Thee* movie to not see
Hopefully it will kill rogain's career
and the silver age shall begin
Little off topic, but whatever. Funny people apparently made 1.2 million total in foreign box office. That is pretty remarkable when you consider that Land of the Lost made 13, Bruno made 76 and The Proposal made 110. I didn't realize how much foreigners despise Adam Sandler.
George Clooney but the George Clooney right after from Dusk to Dawn when he had the whole charismatic but dangerous deal going for him.
My choice for Kato would've been without question Jet Li. I envisioned the movie being directed by Steven Soderbergh or someone of his caliber. I would like to have seen it shot as a period film late 50's. Gangster running amok but none is more feared and respected than Green Hornet. The gangsters are not aware of the Hornet being a Vigilante, just a bad-ass that make people disappear when they step over the line.
I know I'm day-dreaming, I just expected something better than what we're about to get with Rogan.
I think Rogan is a decent COMEDIAN, I liked him in most of the movies he's been in. I think his acting could use a little bit more work. However his performance in Observe and Report was surprisingly good.
I just hate the fact that a favorite show of mine is about to be played for camp. The Green Hornet was not the Batman tv show. I know I should wait before I pass judgement and maybe I am "Trolling" but damn...this thing looks fucking terrible.
His movies just don't do well overseas. The humor doesn't translate.
Okay, 1) Merrick, sorry to hear about the Snow Leopard problems. I have a mac myself, love apple, but you're not alone... there have been a lot of reported problems with Snow Leopard installation. Do some googling and you'll see. They are fast at work at the first update, so maybe that will help. But it's a little shocking that the system that is intended as a "polish" on what's come before has been released with so many issues. 2) Okay, I can see the bashing of Diaz... she's a COMPLETE ditz, and that's incredibly unattractive... she's an average actress, she's also the celebrity known to have the most serious skin problems and has to be heavily made up, BUT I'm sorry, each and every one of you is completely full of it if you're going to tell me you wouldn't be all over her if she came on to you. 3) Julia Roberts?! What is with the hate? I don't get it. First of all, she actually CAN act, whereas with Diaz, again I think you have more of an argument. Secondly, watch any Letterman interview with her... she's great, and her loyalty towards him is genuine. And third, she's beautiful. Was then, still is now, and again, you're full of it if you're telling me you wouldn't be all over that. 4) Rogen's mistake here was doing this movie over a known property with a history, when this is clearly looking like it's going to be a comedy. He's not paying attention to what the movie industry has pretty much figured out by now... take the superhero adaptations seriously and handle them faithfully. If you want to do a comedy create a new, original character with no baggage or expectations. 5) Rogen is by now already insanely wealthy. I don't think he gives a rat's ass what ANY of you have to say about his looks, laugh, or abilities. 6) I agree on one thing- This movie looks BAD. As in, "cease production immediately" bad.
Every notice she has that sunken. thin eyelid, too much make up to cover up wrinkles, spooky old lady eye thing going on? Too much time in the sun, there, Cam. Um... yeah... a press conference. In a superhero movie. Didn't see that coming.
I saw this a few years ago..... If only somebody would've gave them a budget to do a full length http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Rjm53J1G4M
Ha ha ha. I have always hated Apple's arrogance.

It's not their fault that American audiences are too dumb to want to see something well made as opposed to trash like Transformers.
You can hate it if you want to, but you're comparing a "hiccup" to a belch, followed by a dry heave, followed by a full rush of puke drenching everything in it's path.
I do a pretty heavy load of music production, and my computer is working better ever. You do have an Intel Mac, right, Merrick?
. . . estimate of how many friggin' talk backs we'll get on this thing before it finally comes out? I feel sorry for anybody w/ high hopes.
They should feature Merrick on a new commercial with the kid from Die Hard:4. Mac sucks!!!!

to upload shit to photobucket. Snow Leopard must be overrated.
It was kind of distracting that every computer device Justin Long used had to be an Apple.
Or was he just on set that day?
This flick will just be what the old tv show was..a d level Batman knock off.
I guess Edward James Olmos has a lot of free time in his hands, now that Battlestar Galactica is over...
No wonder movies cost a bazillion dollars to make.
If I saw Cameron Diaz walking down the sidewalk, I'd cross to the other side of the street. Bleech.
http://tinyurl.com/2w4apm
I like the car
the 60s series was a failure,opposite to Adam Wests batman.But when The Master became worldwide famous,u know the rest..
i sincerely cant understand why they want to make this movie.anyway,its their money.
Did everyone think that Michael Keaton, a comedic actor, as Batman was a good choice? Those movies were good. Give Rogen a chance. And if Seth is still considered fat...get on your own scales.
Michel Gondry seriously lost me when he made Be Kind Rewind and Science of Sleep. Also the removal of Stephen Chow still pisses me off. This movie could have been great if he was Kato and/or directed.
I'm fairly sure Rogen is gonna pull of his lame "jew wise-cracks" about his fro and such when the film hits. Michael Keaton was dead serious in Batman and pulled it off well. Rogen and his fool friend Goldberg wrote this script, and it's clearly gonna have Rogen as more of a "funny hero". Death to Apatow productions. I'm sick of those guys.
And your stupid Snow Kitty.
Just how retro IS this movie?
PC Users are boring anyway...
The way I see it this is a very risky movie. It is supposed to be a "Clouseau" stlye bumble while being carried along by Kato. Rogen isn't Sellers(at all) and Kato is nobody. At least with Chow you had some bankabilty. Diaz isn't helping anything. This is a COMEDY. Not much love of funny around here. I don't hate Rogen but he is fighting an uphill battle.
He's only "working" in Hollywood because he's a Jew. All this guy ever does is fucking smoke weed. Merrick, what do you think about him?
... is what a slam on the US this is. Yeah, we're all pot-smoking idiots. There's a reason so many conservative talk radio show hosts use the tagline for the GREEN HORNET radio show in their openings. "HE HUNTS THE BIGGEST OF ALL GAME - PUBLIC ENEMIES WHO TRY TO DESTROY OUR AMERICS!"
I don't know what happened there, but that's a random paparazzi photo of Daniel Craig and his girlfriend in New York, where he's in rehearsals for a play. He's obviously not in the same location as all those other photos.
Looks like she is done up or something
in all the pics. why has no one mentioned how goofy he looks? is he "crying"?
AICN. Loved Observe and Report. I didn't see it. Zack and Miri - sucked. Funny People - underperformed. In terms of career. This film is so important.
Just ask Matt Damon. If it wasn't for Bourne. He would be outta here. Seth please bring A game to this film.
...but right before being offered Batman & Robin. We might have been saved from nipple suits.
Just looks completely odd! I should know! I watched the TV series as a kid alongside Batman & Robin...
badly...
She actually made me believe she enjoyed fucking Rogen in "Zack and Miri". She's the fucking female Phillip Seymour Hoffman.
You've all decided to hate it in advance.
If Chow had stayed on to play Kato and direct you still would have bitched about Rogen and the script.
None of you know Anything about this Film.
I repeat: NONE OF YOU KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THIS FILM.
Has the script leaked? Not to my knowledge. If it's so Shitty why did all these people sign on? Your beloved Chow signed on as well, originally. He was willing to play Kato for awhile even if he didn't direct. How Shitty a script could it be?
You're all assuming it's going to be campy and that Rogen has no respect for the characters. They've been trying to make this movie for DECADES. Why would they hand it to someone who's going to do a piss take?
Rogen has rightly pointed out that the interesting thing about The Green Hornet is that his sidekick is a better fighter than he is. That can be comedic without being campy. And Rogen has been getting in shape for the part. Have any of you whiny bitches lost as much weight in the past year as he has?
Rogen and Gondry and Diaz amd Cage and Olmos have all been involved with films we've loved. And films we haven't loved so much. And a few we may have hated. JUST LIKE EVERYBODY ELSE IN HOLLYWOOD.
This might be this generation's BUCKAROO BANZAI for all we know. A cult movie people will still be watching 20 years from now. With that director and that cast there's no way this is going to be boring.
Can we at least wait for a FUCKING TRAILER before we assume this project isn't worth watching?
I realize everything with Seth Rogen in it is automatically despised by talkbackers, but this is low even for you guys.
Didn't you shit on Avatar based on a 2 min trailer?
RIGHT ON!!! Fuck Cameron Diaz though. Comedy kryptonite. Unless she plays straight. If she is trying to be funny..game over. Rogen has to be brilliant in this. Not sure he has the chops. I'll give 'em a shot. Anyone begging for a serious Green Hornet is a bed wetting dip shit.
This doesn't look like a good film, but it's sufficiently outlandish that I hope it succeeds. As a film fan, I like to be proven right in my surmises, but what I like even better is to be convinced in the face of all reasonable objection, and for Michel Gondry to convince me that Seth Rogen is an adequate superhero would be glorious indeed.
You have a valid argument but still, Seth Fucking Rogan!?!?!?!? Why not hire Bobby Lee for Kato? This is just fucking stupid. I mean he lost a bit of weight doing coke and now we're supposed to respect him as a serious actor? I can feel my eyes getting crossed like the first time I heard Nic Cage was playing Superman. Fuck!!
I can't get over how much I can't get enthused about Green Hornet. Seth Rogan just doesn't seem right. Merrick, just try to redownload safari. whatever version they have at the apple site. Even if it says there is nothing new. Just reinstall. If you restored the computer after installing Snow Leopard it would have put the old Safari back, since it is one of your old apps. And then you might have some strange issues. I haven't had any issues with my install. But, I've had some non-related hard drive issues. Of course, apple was quick to repair them (one day) for free. That is why the apple is worth it. For a laptop at least. For the people that commented about Windows 7, I've been running it for a few months now. It is hands down the best mainstream operating system I have used. Better than snow lep. But each has its own strengths, so I will keep using them both for various tasks.
Olmos has earned a right to be in better films than this shit.
Could you please stop reporting on total bullshit? Hey look, it's somebody on set getting a coffee! OOOOHHHHH Cameron Diaz doing nothing interesting at all while Seth Rogen sweats... Fuck man... It's just not "cool news" It's not news worthy even for entertainment news. Wake me up when something cool happens... ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
The naked gay guy from the Hangover (the one that everyone says was in Knocked Up, but I don't know how anyone remembers any aspect of Knocked Up so I know they are lying)? He's is in everything these days.
More pictures of Seth Rogan sweating!
Michel Gondry's dad?
Thank you! Trying this now.

Chow was the ONLY ray of hope this thing would be any good. Now that he bailed, there is no way this thing will be nothing less than craptacular. Seth Rogan as a superhero makes as much sense as a submarine made out of paper. Just that pic of Seth sweating like he's at an all-you-can-eat-buffet just DOES NOT fill me with hope.
Fucking nerds in a uproar, and over what? The Green Hornet is a piece of shit character to begin with.
By more RAM. I installed Snow Leopard and my system is as good as it ever was. If anything it's probably snappier with the new OS. If you're seeing a slowdown, it's either your applications (check in Activity Monitor for high CPU or Memory usage) or it's the fact that you just need more memory for all the stuff you're running :)
This movie will probably suck. That is all.
a friend of mine is working on the film, they have a few stunt teams, and the martial arts is being handled by an all asian team. so at least we get real kung fu, lets hope this director knows how to pull the camera back and use wide shots, and zero shakey cam.
