I wish Hollywood would just take the money they use on some movies and donate it to a starving country instead of throwing it away on a ridiculous idea like this one. The Green Hornet?!?!? The GREEN FUCKING HORNET?!?!?!?!?!? Who in the world today is a fan of the Green Hornet? Besides that no talent hack Kevin Smith that is? I mean when a superhero movie like Ghost Rider flames out as quickly as it did with a far more interesting character than one last heard from in the 60's what chance does this movie have? C'mon Hollywood get it together and just give he money to Darfur or sometin'. This movie will be as big as The Shadow and The Phantom (two other clown superheroes with no fan base or cool villains to make them interesting). OK my nerd rant is over...:mad:

There's a new buzz in Hollywood: Columbia Pictures is bringing comic-book hero The Green Hornet to the big screen.
The crime-fighting exploits of The Green Hornet have been chronicled for decades on radio, television and in comic books. On Tuesday, Sony Corp.'s Columbia Pictures said it was making a motion picture on the newspaper hero.
Neal H. Moritz and Original Film will produce the movie, Columbia Pictures Presidents of Production Matt Tolmach and Doug Belgrad said. Columbia optioned the rights to The Green Hornet from Moritz, who acquired the rights from Green Hornet Inc.
"With the radio show, television program, comic books and novels, there is ample source material to bring this classic crime fighter to life," Moritz said in a statement.
The Green Hornet made his debut on Jan. 31, 1936, on WXYZ Detroit as the creation of the station's George W. Trendle and Fran Striker, who also created the Lone Ranger. The series ran until 1952 on the Mutual and NBC Blue networks.
The Green Hornet ran in several comic books and, in 1966, the character was turned into an ABC-TV series starring Van Williams as The Green Hornet and Bruce Lee as Kato. It ran for one season.
