What's Green and Waiting for Its Closeup?
Because kids today dig crusading newspaper editors...
A Hollywood studio has snapped up the movie rights to The Green Hornet, the crime-fighter franchise best known for launching Bruce Lee's screen career.
Columbia Pictures, home of Ghost Rider and the upcoming Spider-Man 3, did the snapping, the studio confirmed Wednesday.
2 Fast 2 Furious' Neil H. Moritz, as first reported by Variety, is on tap to produce.
No stars have been announced, which might be for the best since every time a star previously has been announced, or publicly linked to the project, the movie never got made.
Various studios, producers and even writer/director Kevin Smith have been trying to get a Green Hornet movie going for years. At various times in the past decade, George Clooney, Mark Wahlberg, Hugh Jackman and Jake Gyllenhaal were all talked up as leading-men material.
Born as a radio serial in the 1930s, The Green Hornet concerns Britt Reid, a pretty-boy newspaper editor/publisher who dons a masquerade mask to fight crime from the chauffeured comfort of his battle-ready sedan, the Black Beauty, and who counts the Lone Ranger as a distant blood relative. (The Green Hornet and The Lone Ranger were created by the same team, hence the connection.)
The Green Hornet came to television in 1966, in the wake of the more-successful Batman series. The one-and-done Hornet starred Van Williams as Reid, and Lee, the future kung-fu superstar, as Reid's ride, Kato.
Capitalizing on Lee's 1973 death, old episodes of the Green Hornet TV series were culled together for a 1974 theatrical, also called The Green Hornet.
