Set Photos from The Green Hornet Surface

Crazy Critics has gotten ahold of some set photos of the Green Hornet currently in production right now for a December release date in 2010.

i have been so skeptical of this film from the beginning due to the casting of Seth Rogen, the arrival/departure of Stephen Chow and then other casting decisions like Edward James Almos and Cameron Diaz. I mean it just seems they want to make this movie and will bring in anyone they can for the film. Michael Gondry is the about the only thing that could be good about the film.

The Green Hornet made his debut on January 31, 1936 on WXYZ Detroit, the creation of the station’s George W. Trendle and Fran Striker, who also created the The Lone Ranger. The series, which ran until 1952 on the Mutual and NBC Blue networks, followed the adventures of Britt Reid, a bored playboy whose life is changed when he inherits his father’s crusading newspaper, The Daily Sentinel. He saves the life of Kato, a Japanese man with incredible technical and martial-arts skills, who becomes Britt’s closest ally — and transforms Britt’s car into the supercharged Black Beauty, which gives them an edge as they search for evidence to expose the city’s underworld in the newspaper. When Britt and Kato witness a brutal mob hit, Britt invents his secret identity — taking his name from his powerful car’s defective horn. A skilled fighter and expert marksman, the The Green Hornet uses two special, non-lethal guns to subdue criminals: one fires a potent knockout gas while the other produces the “Hornet’s Sting” — an electric shock. The Green Hornet is being directed by Michel Gondry, and it stars Seth Rogen, Nicolas Cage, Cameron Diaz, Jay Chou, Edward James Olmos, David Harbour, and Tom Wilkinson. The film opens December 17th, 2009.
