“The Green Hornet” is not a drug comedy, but star and co-writer Seth Rogen knows he will have to remind people of that again and again between now and the film’s January release.

“It might be the only movie we have without any explicit pot references,” Rogen said, referring to himself and writing partner Evan Goldberg, a tandem that has given the world the bong-hit cinema of “Superbad” and “The Pineapple Express.” This film’s emerald title led to a lot of hemp wisecracks from the cast and crew.

“Yes, there were a lot of jokes flying around the set about the name of the movie — jokes that the studio begs me not to make. But I will.” Rogen, with a wink, added that his masked man and Kato might go the Cheech and Chong route for “Green Hornet 2.” “If they let us do an R-rated sequel, maybe we can go there: ‘The Greener Hornet.’“

Seth Rogen has told MTV that he and collaborator Evan Goldberg might direct their next comedy, “Jay and Seth vs. The Apocalypse”, based on a trailer they created with Jay Baruchel. The concept is clever: After the world ends the only two surivors are Jay and Seth…but they really don’t like each other all that much. Simple, but plenty of room there for stuff to happen.

“It takes years to write a goods movie, that’s what we’ve learned,” Rogen said of building the post-apocalyptic comedy. “We’re finally going to script form. Once you’re there, you’re kind of on the home stretch. It means you have the key ideas to build the movie,” he added. “I think me and Evan might direct it, which might be a big step for us.”

Seth attended the, “Paul” panel at the 2010 San Diego Comic Con. For those unfamiliar with “Paul,” it is a movie about two British comic-book geeks traveling across the U.S. encounter an alien outside Area 51 – Seth is the voice of the alien (Paul). I want to give a HUGE thank you to my friend, Jess at www.isabel-lucas.net for providing these pictures for me. Head over to the gallery for the latest additions.

Rogen attended the Toronto production of Rock of Ages on July 17, telling people that “he was just there to enjoy the show.” Accorinf to the report, however, Rogan may have been taking in the production for more professional reasons.

Seth Rogen “couldn’t believe” he got to star in a movie with Cameron Diaz. The Hollywood funnyman admits he was shocked when the sexy actress agreed to join the cast of The Green Hornet.

“We couldn’t believe we got her to be in the movie,” says Seth. “It was a real pleasure every day but it was surreal. It’s one of those things that’s crazy, too … ‘I’m talking to Cameron Diaz right now!’

“I was really in awe of her but she’s a true delight to work with. She’s really funny. She’s just great.”

The Green Hornet – Director Michel Gondry, who makes movies with a special, personal signature, is taking on The Green Hornet – and he’s doing it in 3D. Comic-Con audiences, prepare yourselves.

In The Green Hornet, Britt Reid (Seth Rogen) is the son of L.A.’s 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. 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.

Confirmed to appear in person to unveil this early look at The Green Hornet in 3D are the Hornet himself, Seth Rogen, director Michel Gondry, writer Evan Goldberg, producer Neal H. Moritz, and actor Christoph Waltz.
