Seth Rogen to write & star in 'Green Hornet'

"Knocked Up" star Seth Rogen has entered into final negotiations to write and star in "The Green Hornet" for Columbia Pictures.

Columbia Pictures announced in March that it had optioned the rights to "The Green Hornet," the adventures of wealthy publisher (and "Lone Ranger" descendant") Brit Reid, who spends his nights fighting crime alongside his Japanese chauffeur-bodyguard Kato.

Now Neal H. Moritz ("I Know What You Did Last Summer") is developing the project with Seth Rogen, the star of the hit film "Knocked Up." Moritz has been chasing the rights for years, having been a big fan of the '60s television series, which starred Van Williams and Bruce Lee.

Rogen's deal was confirmed to the Los Angeles Times by a number of sources both inside and outside the studio, who are involved with the film. Sony is said to be eyeing a 2009 release.

Rogen next appears in the August release "Superbad," based on a script he co-wrote with Evan Goldberg.
