It's official: After
months of murmurings,
Seth Rogen is set to star as the
Green Hornet in the upcoming, eponymous film.
Per
EW, Rogen will play the story's hero, Britt Reid, a playboy with time and money on his hands. He inherits his dad's newspaper and starts fighting crime at night with his buddy Kato. Rogen and writing partner Evan Goldberg are writing and producing the film.
The
Knocked Up star may seem like an unlikely choice to play a studly, winged crusader in a deal that could end in a stinging disaster. Yet, similarly surprising choices have worked out to be inspired ones in other such flicks, like
Tobey Maguire's
Spider-Man and even
Robert Downey Jr.'s
Iron Man. How do you think the
Hornet casting will fly? You have time to mull it over; The movie opens in June 2010.
