“The Green Hornet is Kind of a Douchebag”

Posted on December 28th, 2010

Seth Rogen has branded his character in The Green Hornet as “a douchebag”. The Pineapple Express star plays debonair newspaper publisher Brett Reid in the forthcoming action movie, a character that he describes as possessing less than admirable qualities throughout his transformation into the titular superhero.

He told Virgin Media: “No, he’s not a hero in any way that you would expect him to be a hero, in any way, shape or form. He’s really not that awesome when you meet him, I have to say. He’s kind of a douchebag. A somewhat entertaining douchebag, but a douchebag all the same.”

Rogen, who also wrote the movie’s script along with Superbad colleague Evan Goldberg, revealed that he made sure Reid’s sidekick Kato received more credit for the hero’s crime-fighting success in the new adaptation.

“There are two guys out there, risking their lives, getting shot at – and one of them is the sidekick? Let’s be clear about this, Batman and Robin do exactly the same thing. In our approach, the relationship is the superpower. Alone these guys are kind of nothing, but together they’re able to accomplish things that no mere mortal ever could.”

The Green Hornet is due for release in the UK and the US on January 14, 2011. (Source)
