Green Hornet to Look a Lot Like a White Stripes Video

8:28AM Seth | The departure of director Stephen Chow from Seth Rogen’s The Green Hornet suggested the project might be postponed indefinitely. Thanks to Michel Gondry, however, the Hornet flies (stings? What does the Hornet do, anyway?) again. More »

Seth Rogen Didn’t Drink Those Slim-Fast Shakes For Nothing!

7:34AM Kyle Buchanan | If there’s one thing we know from nature videos and the Faultline during Lent, it’s that you don’t provoke a starving bear. Just ask the dieting Seth Rogen, who insists Green Hornet is still on. More »

Was Seth Rogen’s Transformation From Bear To Otter All For Naught?
