ABOUT THE GREEN HORNET
In the 3D action-comedy The Green Hornet, Britt Reid (Seth Rogen) is the son of Los Angeles’ most prominent and
respected media magnate and perfectly happy to maintain a directionless
existence on the party scene – until his father (Tom Wilkinson)
mysteriously dies, leaving Britt his vast media empire. Striking an
unlikely friendship with one of his father’s more industrious and
inventive employees, Kato (Jay Chou), they see their chance to do
something meaningful for the first time in their lives: fight crime.Â
To get close to the criminals, they come up with the 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. Using all his ingenuity and skill, Kato builds the ultimate
in advanced retro weaponry, Black Beauty, an indestructible car equal
parts firepower and horsepower. Rolling in a mobile fortress on wheels
and striking the bad guys with Kato’s clever gadgets, The Green Hornet
and Kato quickly start making a name for themselves, and with the help
of Britt’s new secretary, Lenore Case (Cameron Diaz), they begin
hunting down the man who controls LA’s gritty underworld: Benjamin
Chudnofsky (Christoph Waltz). But Chudnofsky has plans of his own: to
swat down The Green Hornet once and for all. The film is directed by
Michel Gondry. The screenplay is by Seth Rogen & Evan Goldberg, based
upon “The Green Hornet” radio series created by George W. Trendle. The
producer is Neal H. Moritz.
