"As you get wrapped up in it, as there's two years of time where people are saying how bad it is, without having seen anything, it does get frustrating and, ultimately, just disappointing, more than anything. You look at these outlets that, as a comic book nerd, I kind of respected at times and thought were interesting voices just say things that are insane and completely uninformed and uneducated and based on no reality whatsoever, and it's kind of like, 'Oh, that's disappointing. I thought these guys were cool.' But they're not. They're just like everybody else."
"It is nice that people actually have to base their assumptions on the movie now and not just what they think the movie is going to be like."
OK, my $.02. I've been vocal the casting of Rogen in the title role. I know some out there that I've discussed this about will remember how I quickly brought up Michael Keaton being cast as Batman. However, my fears were calmed somewhat when the trailer came out. When the Green Hornet trailer came out (not to mention the fried chicken TV ads), my fears doubled. Now, it's possible, POSSIBLE, that it's better than we fear. In the interview, Rogen made it clear that the cast and crew were totally aware of the outlash and it affected them. My question is, why did they put the trailer together the way they did? If you have an actor that best known for screwball comedies trying to do something different, the trailer shouldn't have a bunch of funny lines in it. In this case, it should have been action and a little drama.
Will I spend $10 to go see it? No. Green Hornet is a cool character and deserves better than this. I'll wait for the eventual reboot.
