Seth Rogen On The Green Hornet Sequel: "Not Any Time In The Foreseeable Future"

Probably for the better that it stays out of the public eye until 10 years passes before a more serious take on it. That being said, I thoroughly enjoyed the humor infused version of the character, it was missing a decent script and characterization to put it among the upper tier of First Class, Thor, etc.

Hornet was not great by any means, but totally watchable (Kato Vision was cool). I would have loved to see what Kevin Smith was planning on doing with it when he was still attached:

MAYBE BECAUSE IT WAS A BIG, STEAMING PILE OF HORSE SHIT! Of course, that's just my opinion, but Rogen could at least acknowledge how terrible the film was, kinda like how Kevin Smith did with Cop Out. Seriously, the only funny scene was with James Franco, which managed to bring my expectations up for a film I thought would be quite funny.

If you consider that at least GREEN LANTERN tried its best to remain true to the source material versus GREEN HORNET which made the main lead and brains of the duo and a worthless goofball of the team--- then YES 10 times fold.

If you find Rogan's Green Hornet entertaining therefore you haven't watch the original series in the 60's.

@ krooklyndodger

i did say one of the worst,compared to the green lantern they're probably about even,all i enjoyed out of the green lantern was the stuff on oa & the other outer space scenes.

as for the green hornet all i got from that movie was babes,the car & the end credits.

This movie was cheesy imo. Thank God he won't further defile Green Hornet.

Listen, the green hornet wasn't terrible, but it certainly wasn't great. Seth Rogen killed it, and this took a serious low blow to the original series, which has the potential to blossom into something like Batman. Bruce Lee, Van Williams, that was one kick ass show. A serious, and true version of the Green Hornet is needed, not some comedian, a boring Cameron Diaz, and a ridiculously stupid villain. Give it a couple years, make it serious, and we'll have success

Thank goodness. It was a slap in the face to the Green Hornet. What a joke and terrible adaptation.

We don't want a sequel to Rogan's Green Hornet. We want a serious reboot.

the movie was garbage, seth rogen had no business being involved with green hornet at all. the asian guy in it (i forget his name) he was the only decent thing in the movie. it was a shame that christoph waltz who was the main villain did such a crappy job in the movie, he is a good actor and did such an amazing job in inglorious basterds. any true fan of green hornet who grew up watching the old series with bruce lee shouldnt like this at all. i hope we dont see a sequal but a well deserved reboot that doesnt have a freaking comedian as the lead role.

@ Boekelaar
Again obviously you have no idea of the source material particularly the TV series of the 60's. If you are you wouldn't be defending such a crappy movie.

Let's put it this way, why did you think Superman III and Schumacher's Batman and Robin was so despised by CBM fans. Think about it, would it feel right to portray Captain America as a bonehead ?

I have nothing against inserting humour to CBM or having comedian portray them as long as they are appropriate and DOESNOT deviate from the character. Robert Downey Jr. IronMan /Tony Stark was mostly funny but remained true to the character. Chris Reeve nerdy portrayal was limited only to Clark Kent but never to SUPERMNAN. Michael Keaton a well known character actor-comedian played both straight as Bruce Wayne and Batman. Of course there are funny situations as Bruce Wayne but never as BATMAN. Even Adam Wests in 60's portrayed the Caped Crusader as a dependable hero not as bonehead. Chris Evans was a riot in the Fantastic Four because Torch was funny. But as Captain America Chris was serious and allowed a few humorous situations . CBMs does need humour to be entertaining. But NEVER DEVIATE FROM THE CHARACTER or worse make a mockery of the source material.

Unwatchable and dumb as shit.

Green Hornet was created as a knock-off to the Batman series. With Batman being such a success, the studio wanted another hit, and with Bruce Lee on board it still was a failure. I for one enjoyed the opening sequence, but it WASN'T Batman, and it was obvious the show was made as a bad rip-off. When I saw the new take on this character, I loved it. The balance of humor and action was awesome. The characters Hornet and Kato had charisma for once and the effects as well as the art direction were great. Out of all the garbage pumped out by Hollywood and deemed significant, I can hardly agree that this film is the worst outing in the last few years. The haters are probably Broke Back Mountain fans. I give Hornet two thumbs up!

You guys are a bunch of whiners.

The Green Hornet exceeded my expectations. It was a really fun movie with a different take on it than most other comic book films. Take it for what it is, an action comedy. I thought it was very well done and would like to see another.

skip the sequel, go for the reboot..... in 10 years.

Good cause he was the worst part of the film! Not nearly as bad as I feared but still not the right tone for me. Jay Chou was awesome though! There's a French made fan film that was better than the thetrical film. It didn't need to be 100% serious but still.

@SackUSMC27- EXACTLY!!!I like the idea of a bored socialite that fights crime for the excitement and cause his city is so corrupt.

Thanks for [frick]ing up this character's legacy, Rogen!

I actually enjoyed this movie, it was pretty good but I don't it has to have a sequel.

@SackUSMC27

Far as Green Hornet straying away from the source material, that's not why I hated it. I don't remember it having much source material to begin with. And I don't mind the slap stick comedy approach to it or the hit and miss talents of Seth Rogan. It's the execution of the whole thing. They have everything they need to make a decent film and they just made pure shit.

GH plays like it's going to get better when you first start watching it and it never does. It's not funny, the story is half-assed and it's BORING. I could barely pay attention to it. Then it seems like it goes on and on when it should be ending. There was no substance to glue the actions scenes together and Cameron Diaz is just there to add... Cameron Diaz. It's a terrible film.

Who's this "pretty-boy do-gooder who has always been a model citizen deciding to fight crime for the heck of it"? Never heard of him.

thank goodness, worst movie of the year so far, even Green Lantern was slightly better than this bullshit. At least then I didnt have to watch Seth Rogen be the annoying bastard he always is and at the same time, mess up a classic character (cue someone replying to me that Ryan Reynolds did the same to Green Lantern lol)

Kato was awesome though, I hope the actor who played him has a bright future in more, much better movies

It wasn't a good Green Hornet movie...but it was a good movie. That is, in the world they created, they stayed within the confines of that world, didn't take themselves too seriously, created fun characters and did some original things.

OK, the villain sucked and Rogan was not at all believable as a spoiled rich guy who wants to do the right thing...but I still had fun watching it.

Green Lantern was far, far worse -- it barely made sense from moment to moment.

for those who don't know, a movie needs to make somewhere between 2 and 2.5 times its production budget in order to break even. this movie had a production budget of 120 million, and had to make somewhere between 240 and 300 to break even. this helps make up for all the money spent on making the film, advertising it all over the world and distributing it all over the world. it made 228 million world wide, meaning it didnt break even, and it had to be put into 3d just to do that. Also, more of the foreign gross goes to oversees exhibitors and distributors, so a lot of the over seas gross isnt counted as studio profit, and the movie made even less money when you factor that in. the film was a bomb.
