Green Hornet


Most people, when they think of DC, think of Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman. But then there's the secondary character people think about, then the third, and it goes to the point where there are characters that no one's ever heard of.
With Green Hornet however, this is not the case. While Britt Reid aka Green Hornet has not appeared in many forms of media, he has had his share. A radio series back in the 30's, two movies serials in the 40's, and a tv series back in the 60's. In the late 90s, people were talking about a Green Hornet Feature-Length Movie starring George Clooney and Jason Scott Lee., but it never was greenlit.

Several scripts have been written in recent years, one by John Fusco in 2002, one by Kevin Smith in 2004, but were never fully developed into movies. Two years ago, a ten-minute Green Hornet Fan Film was released online. (You can view that by clicking on green hornet fan film)

But in the past two years, wheels have been moving full-steam, and a new movie, simply titled Green Hornet, will star Seth Rogen as Green Hornet. Seth not only plays Hornet, but is writing and producing as well. The film is set to be released on June 20, 2010.
