It has been reported today by many sources that the film adaptation of The Green Hornet has been pushed 5 months back from its original July 2010 release date to December 17, 2010. HitFlix was able to reach the film star Seth Rogen for comment. He said “It gives more time for post, which would have been immensely rushed if we were to come out in the summer. It also affords us more time to promote the film, (now we can go to Comic-Con with more than a car!) and ultimately is a great vote of confidence from the studio.” This is the most recent news on the film since it was announced that Edward James Olmos had joined the cast. The film is directed by Michel Gondry and written by Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg.
This feels like a weekly event know with all the recent Hornet news. First it was that Cage might be playing the villain. Then the Olmos report and now this. I think this pushback is a good move because this is a film that is going to need a lot of good advertising since most of the younger audience arnt even aware of the existence of the Green Hornet character. Also, allowing more time for post is always a plus (usually).
Are you excited about the long-gestating, high-profile The Green Hornet?
