This is the new trailer for The Green Hornet, the movie based on the long-running character who started life on the radio. The Green Hornet has since been seen in comics, on TV, and in previous movies.
The Green Hornet this time is played by Seth Rogen, the portly star of Judd Apatow comedies such as Knocked Up and Anchorman.
Rogen is a very funny and likable man, but it remains to be seen whether he can pull off this particular role. The trailer hasn’t managed to yet convince me that this is the case; he’s funny and likable, as you’d expect, but badass? Hmm, I’m not sure.
Most of the action seems to have been left to Jay Chou who plays The Green Hornet‘s trusty sidekick Kato. The Green Hornet is due to be released January 2011.
