Seth Rogen is an
interesting choice to write The Green Hornet because he is a comedian. He’s an
even more interesting choice to play
The Green
Hornet because, well, look at him. That’s been the joke of all of his
comedies. Rogen continues to take a humorous approach to a potential workout
regimen.
"[I wonder] If they still
have those things that they just electronically work out for you as you lay
there doing nothing," Rogen pondered. "They electronically stimulate your
muscles into working out so I can be lazy and athletic at the same time. Pay
someone to exercise me."
The Green Hornet
property was under
Kevin Smith’s
banner for a long time: the ultimate comic fanboy wrote a script but decided not
to direct it. Rogen will not take the opportunity to read Smith’s draft.
"I’m actually friends with
Kevin Smith and he said I probably could read it if I wanted. I don’t want to. I
have no interest right now in reading it I would say. At some point."
If he read it before, he
might fall in love with an awesome idea that Smith still owns. "Exactly. I’m
just afraid of that."
