Hornet's Sting Turns Green

The first trailer for the film remake of the television cult classic, The Green Hornet, has hit the net. The film, directed by Michel Gondry (Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind), looks extremely fun and entertaining in the action department, and the banter between Britt Reid and Kato looks spot on, I just still have reservations about Seth Rogen and his portrayal of newspaper magnate Britt Reid, a.k.a. The Green Hornet. While the flashes of Academy Award-winner Christoph Waltz as the baddie are enough to wet anyone's whistle, Seth Rogen just makes Reid come across more as a buffoon and not enough like the suave playboy he was in the TV show. To put it simply, a George Clooney-type. Regardless, the Green Hornet's car, the Black Beauty, looks awesome in action. Check out the trailer:
