A Little History on The Green Hornet
The Green Hornet, from a super-hero perspective, has average capabilities when it comes to fighting crime with super normal powers but what makes him and his sidekick “Kato” stand out is his ability to outwit the criminal contingent in his city. However, due to his almost vigilante nature, legitimate law enforcement see The Green Hornet as a criminal, hence, his need to stay in the underworld of crime.
In 2011, The Green Hornet, the movie will make it’s debut . Seth Rogen will play Britt Reid/The Green Hornet. Jay Chou will take place as The Green Hornet’s sidekick “Kato.” Cameron Diaz will take the role of Lenore “Casey” Case albeit with a comedic flair. Black Beauty, The Green Hornet’s car is a mix of a 1964,65 and 1966 Chrysler Imperial. Both BMW and General Motors were turned down so the classic car could be used. The initial trailer release for the movie was out on June 24, 2010 of this year.
