[Check out my
video review here] Sony Pictures has
just released the first trailer and official images from THE GREEN
HORNET. I was extremely impressed by the trailer especially after
all the pre-production problems and uncertainties. Seth Rogen has
made the transition from fat stoner to superhero quite well and I'm
liking the chemistry between him and Jay Chou. The action sequences
and effects both look solid and I can't wait to see what the man
behind Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (Michael Gondry) can
do with a bigger budget. I'm really looking forward to this one.

Britt Reid is the son of LA’s most prominent and respected media
magnate and perfectly happy to maintain a directionless existence
on the party scene — until his father mysteriously dies, leaving
Britt his vast media empire. Striking an unlikely friendship with
one of his father’s more industrious and inventive employees, Kato,
they see their chance to do something meaningful for the first time
in their lives: fight crime. But in order to do this, they decide
to become criminals themselves — protecting the law by breaking it,
Britt becomes the vigilante The Green Hornet as he and Kato hit the
streets.
Using all his ingenuity and skill, Kato builds the ultimate in
advanced retro weaponry, The Black Beauty, an indestructible car
equal parts firepower and horsepower. Rolling in a mobile fortress
on wheels and striking the bad guys with Kato’s clever gadgets, The
Green Hornet and Kato quickly start making a name for themselves,
and with the help of Britt’s new secretary, Lenore Case, they begin
hunting down the man who controls LA’s gritty underworld: Benjamin
Chudnofsky. But Chudnofsky has plans of his own: to swat down The
Green Hornet once and for all.
