Summit Entertainment continues to branch out into other genre’s of film by acquiring the Seth Rogen produced comedy, formally titled, I’m With Cancer. The film stars James McAvoy as the lead with Rogen on board in a supporting role. They’ll be joined by two actresses from the Twilight camp (conveniently) Anna Kendrick and Bryce Dallas Howard.
Finally a clear photo of Seth Rogen in character from The Green Hornet has popped up online. We’ve already seen the actor in costume as his alter ego Britt Reid, but we’ve been yearning for something more. Over at SplashNews, they’ve posted a couple of behind the scenes photos that feature both Rogen and Jay Chou as his sidekick, Kato.
Take a look at the Hornet in action…
DVD Releases are very comedy heavy this week as Ghosts of Girlfriends Past and Observe and Report bring the late-spring funny to DVD store shelves.
Also, as TV Season gets underway, it’s one of the last chances to catch up with last season as several shows release last year’s seasons on DVD including huge hits “30 Rock” and “The Mentalist.” And, as always, the three worst DVDs of the week.
Check it all out below…
These past few weeks, production on the Michel Gondry big screen adaptation of Green Hornet seemed to be moving along smoothly. That was before it hit another major casting snag, which centered on the film’s supposed villain Nicolas Cage. Cage had been rumored for several months to be in negotiations to star as the bad guy opposite Seth Rogen’s heroic Britt Reid. It turns out that the creative forces behind the film and the actor couldn’t come to terms on how his character should be portrayed.
Here’s what Cage had to say…
Recently, production began on Michel Gondry’s film adaptation on the Green Hornet but an important element has been missing, Nicolas Cage. For months the actor has been attached to star as the film’s villain opposite Seth Rogen, but according to THR, things have gone south. Cage has officially dropped out of the movie.
This weekend we brought you a couple of behind the scenes photos from the upcoming Green Hornet film with Seth Rogen and Cameron Diaz. The cast and crew must be filled with worker bees because several new images have popped up online that feature the actors set up at a different location.
These photos reveal so much about the look of this film, and that’s not necessarily a good thing…
Green Hornet is everywhere! Previously, we reported on the film’s release date being pushed back from July to December 17, 2010. It will go head to head with the highly anticipated Tron sequel, and several CGI Smurfs. With that type of competition, it’s no surprise that the film’s cast and crew have jump started their production. We’ve got a few behind the scenes photos of Seth Rogen, Cameron Diaz, and director Michel Gondry mugging for the camera.
The film has been cast (well almost all the way cast), a screenplay is locked down, and a director has been picked…it’s time for ACTION! As of today, Michel Gondry, Seth Rogen and a few new additions are on their way to bringing The Green Hornet to the big screen!
You’ve got a lot of interesting and creative talents with all different types of backgrounds working together on this film. If this film works, it could be one of the best superhero films made.
Gondry is known for creating some of the most thought provoking, interesting and visually beautiful films, while Seth Rogen has proved time and time again to be able to deliver great comedic screenplays and performances. With a wide range of producers involved, with a resumes as different as I Am Legend to Pineapple Express, we’re in for a real treat.
I could regurgitate the information, but I won’t tease you with that. Here’s what Sony just sent over to us about the film…
I should have known better than to get my hopes up. The Green Hornet adaptation has had fans on an up and down roller coaster this past year, with no signs of slowing down. As of late the film has been on a winning streak acquiring several talented actors for key roles, but out of the blue here’s another sign of darkness. According to /Film, Hornet has had its release date pushed back once again.
