Proof that the green hornet won't be a "comedy"

[Comics N' Toons]

Straight from the horse's mouth! ! !


Michael Gondry talks about the movie in the most complete interview I have found yet!

Action movie w/ bits of comedy (only coming from their relationship)

He says we'll see a "NEW & DIFFERENT SIDE OF ROGEN"

EDIT: a Superbad interview with Rogen & Goldberg where they talk about TGH.

Also, a couple Rogen interviews

Right now I'm where youtube is blocked. No details needed about what he said, but Who interviewed him and where?

 

[Comics N' Toons]

He was interviewed by a guy @ Comiccon who seemed to have our fears to and was drilling Gondry about it being comedic!

Gondry repeatedly states: ACTION OVER COMEDY

 

[Punk&ComicBooks]

Gr8 finds! Its probly going to take more than that to convince the closed mindeds though. Slowly we`ll start to see the haters secretly turn into lovers when trailers start showing

 

[Comics N' Toons]

Oh i know it will... that's alright, let them have their stupid opinions... we'll show 'em

 

[OctaviusINC]

I'm really hoping this movie is good.

I love GH.

I like Rogen.

And so far I like everything I've seen and heard so far.

How much more action than comedy..? That's what worries me.

 

[Comics N' Toons]

well, i read online somewhere (i conveniently can't remember) that they were going to limit the one liners to maybe 2 or 3 for the whole film (that's less than most James Bond films) and that really the only comedy was going to be jokes between Reid and Kato and Axeford and Casey (kind of how they did in the radio series).

For the life of me, I can't see a funny Kato.

 

[Comics N' Toons]

Rush Hour? oh god... so many mixed signals

Gondry says its an action movie and not a spoof... you say it's Rush hour...

oh damn

 

[lou2099]

So that guy was a liar.

 

[Comics N' Toons]

he's on a forum under and assumed username... no one is going to know it's him,

but by the description, I'm mixed.

 

[Comics N' Toons]

double post! Damn

 

[Comics N' Toons]

Yes Lou, I think Blindbuzta was a liar!

If you'll notice, SHH deleted my "A NEW REVELATION THREAD" and apparently deleted all of that guy's posts b/c they are no longer here, plus if you go to his profile under posts it reads 0.

All of that guy's posts were deleted! ! !

Wonder what that means ???

either it was real and taken off. or pure BS and was taken off, but either way it doesn't really matter. Maybe Sony had him killed.

 

[OctaviusINC]

Huh. Was he starting some ****?

Because there's been plenty of BS'ers on the SHH boards over the years and they've lasted longer than this guy AND they've been for all bigger superhero films.

Don't know. I re-posted his "plot revelation" over at the Imdb TGH message board. Hefollowed me over there to the movie "Dave" message board, of all places, and posted a message there that he PM'd me asking for me to take his username off of the comment. I did so I can be left alone.

His info could have been legit given these circumstances, but he also could have been a liar and a troll. Either way it is weird because like you said, there are much bigger, important movies that garner that kind of scrutiny.

I was at a Kevin Smith Q&A the other day. Smith said Rogen told him he wouldn't do the film unless some comedy was in there as Gondry even explained. Rogen said he wanted action like to be like Pineapple Express in terms of how brutal he wanted the action to be. This was back when Zach & Miri was filming tho.

 

[Comics N' Toons]

Yes, Lunar Wolf, "SOME COMEDY" that doesn't mean "ALL COMEDY"

James Bond has comedy... not comedy films

Indiana Jones has comedy... not comedy films

Funny, I read a Wizard interview the other day where he said that Rogen and him have never talked about the movie. He said that Rogen acted like if he were dating his ex-girlfriend.

Smith makes up so much stuff that it's hard to tell when he's telling the truth or not.

I don't recall him ever making stuff up?

Sometimes people tend to not talk about something, then talk about it, so then they didn't not talk about it anymore.

Before this I've never talked to you about Kevin Smith, but after this I will have.

Thank you! I really dont know why people always thinks that man makes up stories...If you watch an Evening with Kevin Smith for the first time I can understand how ridiculous those stories about John Peters and Tim Burton can sound but if you really do your research you`ll find that they`re true. Anyways back on topic- I really dont know why so many people are concerned about how much comedy is in here when they dont know jack about the character in the first place

well put!

It doesn't take much to know GH is a serious character.

I mean, he was never super dark super violent creature of the night.

But he's serious and stern.

He's not Seth Rogen.

At least, that's what a lot of people are thinking and why they're assuming such things as comedic tone.

I like what I'm seeing and hearing...so far. So as a big GH fan I'll give Rogen a chance because....what the hell else can I do?
