"Knocked Up" star Seth Rogan as The Green Hornet???

So who's gonna be Kato...Jackie Chan???

[Action Martin]

Yeah,.. You'd get some "serious" acting outta George Clooney ,.. running around with that Half-Cocked Smile interacting with everyone.

Kinda like Van Williams did in the tv series. On the radio and serials the Green Hornet was pretty much a solemn character. But when Van Williams portrayed him, he added a bit of "cool" to the character. I think a "Danny Ocean" as Green Hornet would work.

^^^^ You might as well as have Seth Rogan as the Green Hornet.

What exactly does he need a physical trainer for? Green Hornet usually just sits back and lets Kato do all the work, and its not like he wore form fitting spandex either.

You know Hector, you laugh, but I bet some suit would be like hell yeah that would so work. My bet would be John Cho from the Harold and Kumar movies.

I like John Cho...he's really a funny dude...but he ain't no martial artist.

[Hector]

I would've loved a younger Jet Li...but he's too old now.

If I were in charge of casting for the role of Kato...my clear number one choice would be the amazing Tony Jaa:

I hear what you're saying, but Michael Keaton worked out to play Batman back in 1989, and he ended up in a rubber suit with molded muscles.

Maybe the Green Hornet and Kato will both be wearing bullet-proof armored Kevlar trench coats to face off against "realistic" hoods armed with guns.

sorry to say, but physical training is not going to do much to make people believe he's the green hornet.

Sadly, rumor has it this is the plot for the film. It's a comedy where GH gets all the press (even though he is considered a criminal) and Kato does all the work....and Kato aint liking it.

Hasbro locked up the toy rights when the Clooney version was shopped around a couple of years ago...bet they are real impressed with what they have to work with now!

There is a guy setting up a one man Green Hornet touring show thats planning to hit the convention circuit next year. Cant say what he all has planned, but I think it will do more justice to the legacy of the character than this potential mess.

Yep...Dont want to mention it without permission though. If he can get everything going that I heard he wants to do though, it will be pretty cool.
