We’ve got a batch of new photos, mostly snapped surreptitiously from set. First up is the debut look at the new cast of The A-Team as they shoot in Vancouver. And after the break, you can get a look at better shots of The Green Hornet, a new magazine cover for Sam Worthington in Clash of the Titans, a bunch of Red Dawn’s propaganda posters and the shot of Steve Carell and Tina Fey in Date Night I know you’ve all been waiting for.

We had a behind-the-scenes glimpse at Seth Rogen’s upcoming Green Hornet project a few weeks ago, when set photos surfaced. Those photos gave us a taste of the film’s look, and notably revealed what Kato’s costume would look like. Now, courtesy of Splash News (via CHUD), we also have a blurry look at the Green Hornet’s costume (above). Moreover, an interview with Edward James Olmos this morning at the LA Times reveals a few tantalizing tidbits about certain plot elements of the film. Note that the Splash News video and the LA Times interview both contain potential spoilers, so be warned before you click through to the video or click through to the jump.

It’s Kind of a Funny Story is the title of an upcoming Zach Galifianakis dramedy from the writer/director team behind Half Nelson and their rising gem Sugar. And in a way, the line also describes wild-man Nicolas Cage’s reasoning for recently bailing on the The Green Hornet. These tidbits of casting news after the jump…

Lets see how many people change their tune on Michel Gondry and Seth Rogen’s The Green Hornet now. The film has been talked down quite a bit in some circles — every time we run an article on the movie the same string of comments pops up about how Rogen shouldn’t be playing a superhero, how there’s no interest in the film, etc. Which seems crazy to me since, if nothing else, this is Michel Gondry making a superhero movie. And now, it’s him making one with what could be an amazing bad guy. Read More »

This past weekend Sony revealed that they would be moving The Green Hornet back to December 17th 2010. I had heard rumors that Disney was hoping to release Tron Legacy in that same date, and it looks like Sony’s announcement has pushed the mouse house’s hand to announce the release information. That’s right, as it currently stands, The Green Hornet and Tron Legacy will be hitting theaters the exact same weekend next year, in the 2010 “Avatar slot.”

Columbia Pictures has sent out a press release announcing the start of production on Michel Gondry’s The Green Hornet. Hidden in the press release are details of a couple previously unannounced cast members, including Tom Wilkinson (Michael Clayton, In The Bedroom) and David Harbour (Revolutionary Road, Quantum of Solace), as well as confirming the previous unconfirmed casting report of Edward James Olmos (Battlestar Galactica). The press release notes that Nicolas Cage is still in negotiations to appear as the film’s villain.
Wilkinson worked with Gondry previously on Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. No information has been revealed as to what role any of the three mentioned actors will play in the film. Read the full press release after the jump.

The Green Hornet, written by Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg and directed by Michel Gondry, was set to open in July of next year, but now won’t wear the mask until December 17, 2010. It’s an interesting move, since in a summer slot the film might get lost admist hefty competition like the third Twilight film, Predators, Inception and Shyamalan’s The Last Airbender, all of which are slotted for early to mid-July. Read what Seth Rogen says about the move after the break. Read More »
HollywoodSnitch has learned that Edward James Olmos (Battlestar Galactica) has a role in Michel Gondry’s The Green Hornet. Not much is revealed other than this slim quote from Olmos:
“I’m on my way to do ‘The Green Hornet,’” Olmos said. “It’ll be a lot of fun with Seth [Rogen], Nicolas Cage and Cameron Diaz.”
There’s no word yet on which role he will play. It is possible that he could play Gunnigan, who is described on wikipedia as “the irascible city editor of The Daily Sentinel (whose temper invariably got worse in the presence of Axford or even when Axford was talking to him on the phone).” Sounds like a part that Olmos could easily play. Anyone more familiar with the franchise have any better ideas? Columbia Pictures announced last week that Jay Chou will play The Green Hornet’s sidekick Kato. The Green Hornet is scheduled to hit theaters on July 9th, 2010 release.
