Finally a Firm Release Date For The Green Hornet While at Comic Con this year you got the First look at the Green Hornet Car. Those waiting to be stung by “The Green Hornet” will have to wait a little bit longer. Columbia’s adaptation of the crime-fighting hero starring Seth Rogen has been pushed back from a July 9 release date to a Dec. 17 2010 unveiling. This is the second move for the flick, which originally was scheduled for a June 25 opening. Production on “ Hornet ” began production in Los Angeles this week, a little later than anticipated. Stephen Chow was originally tapped to act as director and as the character of Kato but stepped down as director. Michel Gondry boarded as helmer in February and then during the casting process, which saw Cameron Diaz and Nicolas Cage join the cast, Chow exited the Kato role as well. (Asian actor Jay Chou is now playing the role.) The new date gives the FX-heavy movie more time to get ready in post. Leave A Comment- Source- THR
