michel gondry1 12 11 b 1 1 Interview: Michel Gondry on Green Hornet and Changing a Genre

This week in theaters Academy Award winning director Michel Gondry takes on a new kind of Super-Hero movie with Seth Rogen in The Green Hornet. Though the film has been taking heat from bloggers and fans since the project began, that never stopped Gondry from taking an unconventional super-hero story, with an unpredictable super-hero who is more known for his side-kick than himself, casting risky actors and seeing the project through to the end. If there’s one thing that Gondry is, it’s an inspiration to all of us to get off our asses, stop criticizing others and start doing things ourselves. And as he said in the press conference earlier that day, sometimes tequila helps with that!

Update: For more info on Green Hornet check out our video press conference coverage.

This will be the last year Seth Rogen comes to Comic-Con as the Green Hornet. We’re sure you have your own opinions about the latest superhero and who’s playing him, but while many of the panels we’re covering at the event don’t really belong at a comic book convention, The Green Hornet sure does, so let’s give ‘em some credit for that. We’ve got Rogen and Christoph Waltz, director Michel Gondry, writer Evan Goldberg and producer Neal Moritz in the house. Here we go…

5:32 PM: Seth Rogen has just taken the stage and he still looks skinny. He just made a crack about Ryan Reynolds. He’s tired of people getting them confused.

5:36 PM: They just showed a long trailer with some new footage. It had a darker tone. There was still comedy but Christoph Waltz’s character is really bad ass. He’s scares me.
