The New Black Beauty

Comic Con In Photos: Seth Rogen Unveils Green Hornet's Sweet Ride

Actually looks a lot like the old Black Beauty....

Well at least they didnt mess the car up. I love them big ol' Imperials!

Hasbro has the toy rights, so I'm assuming we will see a toy version.

[EMCE Hammer]

Yeah.......Seth ****realllllly**** looks like the guy who should be driving that car. Will Ferrell unavailable? I'd say this baby is a few Kato fart jokes away from being a blockbuster.

NOT BAD.. I was shuddering for a moment, waiting for the link to open, thinking it would have been some weird 'steroidal' take-off, like the latest Batmobile renditions.

It still has that element of coolness to it...

Van Williams was never a muscle man but he was a good looking masculine guy. I thjink he is rolling over in his grave on this casting. The car is great and if they make it a period piece it could work. The lucky thing for them is George Barris didn't have the design rights on black beauty so they could use the same design unlike all batmobiles since 66

I think Van Williams is still alive.

Rogen wouldn't be my first choice, but he may surprise us. He seems to be heading away from the straight slapstick stuff. He has slimmed down a lot, and Kato does most of the physical stuff, so it may work.

The car looks nice. Good move on keeping it close to the 60s version.

Van is not dead yet. I like the car. Not sure about the movie yet.

I never thought Keaton would pull off Batman, and Ledger as Joker....not after Brokeback Mountain but well let's just say I'll watch it before dropping judgement. Car does look sweet. Nice and simple, just the way it should be.

Van is not dead yet. I like the car. Not sure about the movie yet.

So I guess he's just rolling over in his bed?

[ScottA]

I wouldn't be surprised if he has a cameo in the film.

[Riffster]

he's promised to play the roll serious, so we'll see

I got to hang around with Van Williams one afternoon in Toronto, he made an appearance in a video store and it wasn't well announced. Just ended sitting there telling stories to me and a couple of other guys. He was warm, extremely friendly and genuinely interested in meeting people.

He made an appearance in "Dragon" as the Green Hornet director.

I never thought Keaton would pull off Batman

Bad example...Keaton DIDN'T pull off Batman.

My mistake Van is alive for some reason I thought he had died but I think I somehow crossed him with Clint walker

[The Toyroom]

Love the car....not so thrilled about seeing Rogen's smiling mug next to it or his name plastered above the Green Hornet logo....But I guess it won't matter because the old adage is "Chicks dig the car...."
