Green Hornet Gets Release Date
UPDATE: Rogen talks about the film.
Well, it seems those rumours were true all along, with Entertainment Weekly confirming that the studio has greenlit Rogen's involvement as scribe and star, also unveiling a release date in the process.
SORRY ABOUT THE WORD "rumour" BEING INCORRECT IN THE TITLE
The film - which revolves around the titular crime-fighter and alter-ego of Britt Reed, a bored newspaper magnate who fights crime with his sidekick Kato (famously played in the '60s TV show by Bruce Lee) – has been pencilled in for a June 25, 2010 US release.
UPDATE:Rogen has also spoken to the folks at comingsoon.net on a number of aspects of the film. Firstly, he confirmed that Green Hornet will be a PG-13, saying "that's an action movie, you can do anything violence-wise."

Do you see Rogen as the Green Hornet?
Apparently Stephen Chow hasn't signed on for the role of Kato, but his name has come up negotiations and he said they would "love to have him".
"We weren't even sure going in we could be more of a Jet Li type guy who maybe isn't the funniest guy in the world, but he's physically very impressive, or whether it would be more of a Stephen Chow type guy who can do martial arts, but clearly has a sense of humour. In the version that we've made it seems like a Stephen Chow type guy would be more suitable for the role. Again, until they officially greenlight it, it's hard to make any of those decisions," Rogen continued.
The tone of the film will be a "very intense action movie" but also focus on the humorous nature of the relationship between Kato and the titular central character; "a lot of comedy comes from that" he said. "It's kind of a funny dynamic and a funny relationship and no movies really did that except Batman & Robin. No movies did that well."
Rogen said he and Sony are now actively searching for directors, but no-one has yet signed on for the film.
