Seth Rogen Takes Green Hornet
Columbia Pictures appears to have a lot of faith in Seth Rogen since the success of Knocked Up: according to Variety, they've just given him writing/acting duty on the long-discussed Green Hornet project. Once rumored as a vehicle for typically-handsome leads George Clooney, Mark Wahlberg and Jake Gyllenhaal, the dashing masked millionaire is now apparently more of an awkward, chubby guy with curly hair.
Don't get me wrong, I like Seth Rogen, but I'm not sure a classic character like Green Hornet should necessarily be more out of shape than I am. If we don't maintain Green Hornet's serious role as a monument to handsome white male superiority over lesser races we use as personal man servants, we'll only have Fantasy Island and a handful of other examples.
