Buzzing About

Our first look at The Green Hornet film...

Michel Gondry's The Green Hornet is based on the 1960s television series. The film stars Seth Rogen as Britt Reid, Jay Chou as Kato and also stars Cameron Diaz, and Christoph Waltz

Reid 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 mysteriously dies, leaving Britt his vast media empire.

Striking an unlikely friendship with one of his father’s more industrious and inventive employees, Kato, 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 the Hornet as he and Kato hit the streets.

The action looks very cool but the tongue in cheek humor proved flat at least here and I am not sure if that's a good thing or not

The film comes to theaters January 14th, 2011
