Green Hornet’ one of the most popular television shows in the seventies, is back in action as a motion picture with a recreation of the popular character Seth Rogen. ‘Green Hornet’, the latest Hollywood movie is now being screened at the Liberty Cinema to packed audiences.
Directed by Michel Gondry, the movie, released on January 28, in Colombo, starred Seth Rogen, who co-wrote the script with Evan Goldberg. Also starring were Jay Chou, Cameron Diaz, Edward James Olmos, and Christoph Waltz.
Britt Reid (Rogen) is a spoiled brat, whose primary goals in life are partying and annoying his father, James Reid (Tom Wilkinson). James is a billionaire newspaper mogul in Los Angeles that fights corruption through his paper, while Britt parties into the night and frequently appears in his father’s paper, generally in a less than flattering light.
When his father James mysteriously dies, Britt is faced with the prospects of running a newspaper empire that he neither wants, nor cares about. He soon meets his father’s old mechanic, Kato (Jay Chou), and the two form an unlikely bond, fuelled by the fact that neither has even begun to crack their potential. While Britt is intelligent but unmotivated, Kato is a gifted engineer and martial artist that does nothing with either ability.
They see their chance to do something meaningful for the first time in their lives: fight crime. To get close to the criminals and fight criminals, they come up with perfect cover: they’ll pose as criminals themselves.
Protecting the law by breaking it, Britt becomes the vigilante the Green Hornet as he and Kato hit the streets.
