pochorenella 0 Report post Posted February 18, 2004 Big fan of Kevin Smith here. He revived the Green Arrow comics to great success, had a nice run with DareDevil, so I'm confident on his abilities for this other "Green" Dude. Hopefully it'll be a decent movie outing. Wonder who'll play the Hornet and Kato? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
starvenger 0 Report post Posted February 18, 2004 If they made Kato a female played by Kelly Hu, I won't complain. Much. Seriously though, they should get Donnie Yen for Kato... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

EdwardKnoxII 0 Report post Posted February 18, 2004 Kevin Smith To Helm The Green Hornet Smith to direct superhero film... Kevin Smith once vowed he would never direct a superhero movie, but it turns out he will. Smith will write and direct The Green Hornet. The script is expected to be completed by this summer. George Clooney and Jet Li were originally set to star in the film back when it was at Universal. It is unknown who will star now that Miramax has the project.

WrestlingDeacon 0 Report post Posted February 18, 2004 Smith was supposed to have written, produced or directed about two dozen films in the past decade. Wasn't he supposed to be making Fletch Won next? I'll believe this one when I see it in the theaters. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'll believe this one when I see it in the theaters. Yeah, Smith pretty much said "I won't do it without Jason Lee." The studio said no, and his reply was pretty much, "ah well, I'll do it anyway."

I think Smith is gonna ditch Fletch altogether (and rightfully so) because he couldn't find a suitable replacement for Chevy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest red_file Report post Posted February 19, 2004 Hmm. So this is the BIG NEWS he's been promising to reveal for a month? More than a little disappointing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Brush with Greatness 0 Report post Posted February 19, 2004 George Clooney was already fucking Batman once. Personally I think Bruce Willis would make a cool Green Hornet. Dunno why. I just think Willis could pull off a comic book type superhero. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

His performance in "Unbreakable" is why you probably think that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brush with Greatness 0 Report post Posted February 19, 2004 No, no. Unbreakable he doesn't really have that goofyness/quirkyness. It's sort of that Blind Date/Die Hard/Pulp Fiction type quirkyness and sense of humour that I think would translate well. I guess in a way John McCaine is a superhero.

I was thinking you meant the seriousness part of him that can translate well into a super-hero character, like in Unbreakable. My bad there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This was on newsaskew.com, I think it came from the View Askew message board first, but it's from Kevin. WHAT'S THIS MEAN FOR "FLETCH WON" and "RANGER DANGER"? Everything just gets pushed back a year. If it's any consolation, Harvey's insisting we go right into "Fletch" after "Hornet" wraps. So they should still be doing it.
