Internecine geek beef! Drew McWeeney, formerly of AICN, now of Hitflix, reported earlier this week that the “Green Hornet” project starring Seth Rogen was looking like it was “on life-support at Sony,” and apparently not long for this world. Sony apparently caught cold cold feet when it seemed like Stephen Chow (“Kung Fu Hustle”) — who was supposed to direct, but pulled out of that gig — seemed to be waffling about any kind of participation in the project.
Now McWeeney’s old boss, Harry Knowles at AICN is claiming he has better sources and his people tell him Chow is still attached and the project is still moving forward! [ed. Congratulations? ]
Knowles throws down the gauntlet in seemingly fun competition and asks his old pal to challenge or respond. Eh.
Which nerd do you believe?
