/film have posted a promo poster for Michel Gondry's
The Green Hornet, and a full costume look at Hornet (Seth Rogen) and Kato (Jay Chou) in the newly announced action figures from Mezco Toys. The posters were part of the Sony booth from a Licensing Expo in L.A. where the first trailer for Hornet was unleashed, and according to
Comic Book Movie; "it wasn't received too well". Full look at the images after the jump;
Over the past year or so, I've struggled to understand the negativity behind the Hornet - which all seems to be based on the "Seth Rogen" factor. But I'm more than curious for this one. I think Rogen has moved away from his usual persona with
Observe & Report and
Funny People, if you go back and watch his two movies last year - there's a darker Rogen on show, and its not the one we are used to seeing. I think he's going to really surprise people when the movie is finally released in January. This could be for him what
Ghostbusters was for Bill Murray...
The figures ships in November 2010. Available on
Mezcos website for $80.
