Seth Rogen's 'Green Hornet' Gets a Teaser ... Site

On the final episode of Dinner for Five, Jon Favreau and guests discussed the legendary "is" credit. The only person at the table to have received an "is" credit in his lifetime was, surprisingly, Peter Billingsley, who was given an "is" credit for The Dirt Bike Kid. The "is" credit is indeed rare, so when it comes along we must congratulate the actor or actress enjoying this royal honor. And, as you can see above, Hollywood has given out another "is" credit, and it's gone to ... Seth Rogen.
Yes, ladies and gentlemen ... Seth Rogen is The Green Hornet. Sony has established a teaser site for the previously-announced film, which comes with a nice shade of green and a release date of June 25, 2010. Still a far way to go, but I'm sure it will be well worth the wait. Rogen will play newspaper publisher Britt Reid, who, at night, fights crime as a masked superhero known as The Green Hornet with Kato, a martial arts expert, at his side. This version of GH was written by Rogen and Evan Goldberg (Superbad, Pineapple Express), and there's no director currently attached.
So, who's looking forward to this one?
Catch the Lone New Installment of 'Dinner for Five' This Week
Filed under: Fandom », Home Entertainment », Trailers and Clips »
Since I've never had IFC, I discovered Dinner for Five really late in the game, but it's a pretty cool show. The premise, loosely based on the Algonquin Round Table, is simple: Jon Favreau sits down for dinner with a few celebrity guests and they eat, drink, and talk about life on and off the set. There are a bunch of old eps, featuring names from Bruce Campbell to Saffron Burrows, John Sayles to Jennifer Beals, and that doesn't even begin to cover the people who have popped on the show.Now IFC reports that the late show is getting on new installment (yay!), which they are calling "a last hurrah," this Friday at 10:30 PM. Jon's final (at least for now) guests are: Vince Vaughn (Reese Witherspoon's worst nightmare), Peter Billingsley (A Christmas Story, and Iron Man executive producer), Justin Long (Live Free or Die Hard), and Keir O'Donnell (Wedding Crashers). So basically, it's pretty much a group of friends getting together.
The best thing -- for a short while, they're airing the episode online, right here, so you don't have to set your digital recorders or cancel those saucy Friday night plans. (Canadian readers: this applies to you as well! Unlike sites like Showtime or MTV, which block out-of-country traffic, the IFC feed works.)
Downey Jr. Tests Armor in New 'Iron Man' Pic
Filed under: Action », Fandom », Movie Marketing », Comic/Superhero/Geek », Images », ComicCon »
In an article previewing the upcoming ComicCon slate, Entertainment Weekly provides a brand new photo of Robert Downey Jr. testing out his super cool glove (or gauntlet, as I believe it's referred to) in the upcoming Iron Man flick. Downey Jr. will be in attendance this year at San Diego ComicCon, along with Iron Man director Jon Favreau. And seeing how Favreau has been reaching out to fans throughout the film's production, I wouldn't be surprised if the Iron Man panel is one of the most enjoyable parts of the geeked-up weekend. Look for more stills to be released, as well as (we hope) a possible teaser trailer.
Another pretty cool Iron Man-related piece of entertainment I scoped out earlier today was a video Downey Jr. and Favreau made just after filming was complete. Some of you might be aware that Favreau used to host a show called Dinner for Five on the IFC Channel awhile back. In it, Favreau would sit down for a very informal talk (over dinner in a different Los Angeles restaurant each week) with a table full of actors, actresses and filmmakers. If you haven't yet checked out the show, all four seasons are now available on DVD. And that's where this new Iron Man talk comes into play. As part of the promotional material behind that Dinner for Five DVD, Favreau sat down and filmed a Dinner for Two (minus the dinner) with Downey Jr. The video can be found on the DVD's Amazon page, and in it the two discuss filming Iron Man, as well as some of Downey Jr.'s other classic roles. Surprisingly, the actor lists Weird Science as being one of his top three roles, along with Chaplin and, of course, Iron Man. He also tells a pretty funny Rodney Dangerfield story too. So check out the pic, check out the EW article and check out the video. Look for Cinematical's coverage of this year's San Diego ComicCon to invade your computer screen beginning next week.
