Sony Pictures has just released the initial set of images from Michel Gondry’s cult classic, The Green Hornet. The movie is based off the classic 1930's radio serial (of which it was adapted into movie serials and later into a TV series). It stars Seth Rogen as the luxuriously rich playboy Britt Reid, who moonlights as the masked vigilante The Green Hornet. Assisting him in his crusade against crime is his Asian valet, Kato (portrayed by Jay Chou). The film also stars Cameron Diaz and Christoph Waltz. Apart from doing mostly comedy, this is Seth's first outing as an action star. His noticeable weight loss also paid off especially in landing and portrayiing the pivotal lead role.
Despite some negative buzz the upcoming Green Hornet movie has been getting online, the official theatrical version of the movie's trailer was released so that it may change what some haters may think of the movie. Green Hornet is set to be released on the silver-screen on January 14, 2011.
Here’s the updated synopsis, the new images and the trailer of the Green Hornet movie;
Britt Reid (Seth Rogen) is the son of LA’s most prominent and respected media magnate and perfectly happy to maintain a directionless existence on the party scene – until his father (Tom Wilkinson) mysteriously dies, leaving Britt his vast media empire. Striking an unlikely friendship with one of his father’s more industrious and inventive employees, Kato (Jay Chou), they see their chance to do something meaningful for the first time in their lives: fight crime. But in order to do this, they decide to become criminals themselves – protecting the law by breaking it, Britt becomes the vigilante The Green Hornet as he and Kato hit the streets.
Using all his ingenuity and skill, Kato builds the ultimate in advanced retro weaponry, The Black Beauty, an indestructible car equal parts firepower and horsepower. Rolling in a mobile fortress on wheels and striking the bad guys with Kato’s clever gadgets, The Green Hornet and Kato quickly start making a name for themselves, and with the help of Britt’s new secretary, Lenore Case (Cameron Diaz), they begin hunting down the man who controls LA’s gritty underworld: Benjamin Chudnofsky (Christoph Waltz). But Chudnofsky has plans of his own: to swat down The Green Hornet once and for all. Green Hornet stars Seth Rogen, Jay Chou, Christoph Waltz, Cameron Diaz, Edward James Olmos, David Harbour and Tom Wilkinson
