Speaking at the South by Southwest film festival “The Green Hornet” director, Michel Gondry previewed his vision for The Green Hornet, and remarked that while it would be more conventional than some of his quirkier past efforts such as Be Kind Rewind, it would still offer his trademark style.

“I think the way the action unfolds, there is a sort of sense of geometry in the dynamics in the scenes,” Gondry told SCI FI Wire in an exclusive interview on Sunday. “I think that corresponds pretty much to my style.”

But when elaborating on his vision, Gondry took exception to those who have been criticizing him for veering from early source material, some of which can be legitimately found in ‘Green Hornet’ comics dating back to the ’40s…which Gondry apparently believes don’t exist. According to the director, who seems to hold the opinion that the original radio series is the only legitimate basis for the movie, there’s really no comic-book for the character at all.

“Let’s set the record straight,” Gondry said. “There is no comic book of the Green Hornet, so I don’t want people to tell me, ‘You didn’t respect the comic book,’ because I dare them to show me the comic book. I know that Kevin Smith did one lately. It’s probably great, but that’s his vision. There’s no right to claim Green Hornet is a comic-book figure. It’s a radio show to start with, and … a TV show from the ’60s, so that’s what there is. If people think we owe to follow the rule of a comic book, there is no comic book of The Green Hornet, so f–k that. I’m sorry, but I don’t owe anything to any aficionado of the comic book. I’m doing a film.
