The Los Angeles Times reported the rumor that Knocked Up star Seth Rogen is in final negotiations to write and star in a feature-film version of The Green Hornet for Columbia Pictures. The newspaper cited anonymous sources for its report.

The studio announced in March that it had optioned the rights to the superhero franchise, which follows the adventures of Brit Reid, wealthy publisher of The Daily Sentinel by day and masked crimefighter by night. Reid is accompanied by Kato, a chauffeur-bodyguard-personal assistant who transforms into a masked sidekick with a knack for martial arts.

Neal H. Moritz is developing the project with Rogen via the producer's Original Film company. Moritz has been chasing the rights for years, having been a big fan of the '60s television series. He declined to comment on Rogen's involvement to the newspaper.

Sony is said to be eyeing a 2009 release.

Rogen is just the newest player in a large and varied cast of characters who have tried to bring Green Hornet to the big screen. A Green Hornet film was previously announced at Universal, with Ron Underwood directing. Three years ago, Miramax entered a deal with Kevin Smith to adapt and direct a Green Hornet film.

I'd rather see a film about

Ditto. That would be a great movie. Why didn't they include him in the "Fat Albert" movie??

I'm guessing because the Fat Albert movie was created by people with equivalent respect for their subject matter as the jokers responsible for the CGI/live-action Garfeild movies did. Or, maybe they were saving him for the sequel.

Anyway... I guess we can forget about Kevin Smith directing this now. Not that I expected or wanted him to follow through anyway... It's supposed to be an action/adventure, not a comedy, and most certainly not vulgar. I was actually scared he might get the rights though.

Uhhh... you do realise the Fat Albert Movie was created by BILL COSBY himself, right? He even wrote the screenplay.

But then again, he didn't actually write any of the original cartoon series.

Brown Hornet was sadly only in the background and on Bill's T-shirt.

Well me and my Older Brother are in to Green Hornet. He owns a ton of the comics and we used to watch the TV Show. So I really hope this Movie is good.

After a year of not hearing anything about this film. It's been given a release date! Looks like Thor will have some competition come June 2010!

Check out the logo from the official site for it:

Seth Rogen??? WTF?! He also apperantly co-wrote the script and is the executive producer. :ohwell:

Don't you read the sh*t you post?! It was in the original post you wrote! No wait, never mind. You just copy and paste.

As the first post says it was a RUMOR that he was to star and write it.... now it's official that he's starring, CO-writing, AND producing it...

Stephen Chow has been cast as Kato!

I love Stephen Chow. This is going to be awesome!

I don't know much about the Green Hornet and Seth Rogen annoys the hell out of me, but Stephen Chow is awesome, so count me in if he's involved.

Well.. here's the first look of Jay Chou as Kato.... Uh.... WTF?!

The car is like the coolest thing about this film so far.... :ohwell:

Is that really him and not some stunt guy? Maybe it's a bad picture but he looks much older.

He does have a stunt man for all the action, so it's possible.

Not sure what the complaints are about. That looks exactly like Kato. He looks off there because he's wearing sunglasses. Obviously he won't be wearing those during the movie. This is a picture someone took while he was on a break between filming scenes.

Oh no! You're using logic! Run away!
