We’ve seen glimpses, poorly shot set photos here and there, of Michel Gondry’s “The Green Hornet” starring Seth Rogen, but thanks to Yahoo we now have our first two official photos from the film.
Both photos obviously feature Rogen as the Hornet hero and Jay Chou as his sidekick, Kato.
“The Green Hornet” was written by Rogen and longtime collaborator Evan Goldberg (they penned “Superbad”) and also co-stars Cameron Diaz, Edward James Olmos, Tom Wilkinson, Tony-Award nominated David Harbour, Edward Furlong, and Christoph Waltz (“Inglourious Basterds”) as the villain.
A trailer is expected later today apparently, so look for an update on this post when it’s live.
Originally scheduled for a December tentpole release, the film is now scheduled to hit theaters on January 14th after undergoing a 3D conversion (natch). Some rumors have dogged the production and the 3D-up and release date change didn’t help, but we’re still holding out at least some minor hope. Update: The full trailer debuted on Jimmy Kimmel Live tonight. Here it is and honestly? No wonder this thing was bumped to January it looks… generic to put it generously.
