With all the drama surrounding “Green Hornet” even before one scene is committed to film, news that the film would be pushed back seemed inevitable.
The inevitable has happened.
Box Office Mojo reports the opening date for the movie has been pushed back to December 17, 2010. The intial opening date was for July 2010.
The production has been plagued with defections from the start. The original director and co-star Stephen Chow left the project. Chow was scheduled to star at Kato. Michael Goundrie has been brought in to direct and has hired Jay Chou to take on the role of Kato.
However, actor Seth Rogan insists that the delay will be a good thing for “Hornet.”
“”We’re both relieved and psyched about the change. It gives more time for post, which would have been immensely rushed if we were to come out in the summer,” Rogan said. ” It also affords us more time to promote the film, (now we can go to Comic-Con with more than a car!) and ultimately is a great vote of confidence from the studio. We got the same date that movies like ‘I Am Legend’ and ‘Avatar’ are getting, so we’re thrilled to be there.”
