It looks like we’re getting a new take on the Green Hornet and Kato story for the big screen.
Based on the heroes created by George W Trendle and Fran Striker for the radio serial in 1936, the characters have had their fair share of adaptations over the years with Van Williams and Bruce Lee playing them in the 60s TV show and then most recently Seth Rogan and Jay Chou took the duo to the big screen (and I like that version – yeah, I said it).
But now Universal Pictures and Amasia Entertainment developing a new The Green Hornet and Kato movie.
Universal Pictures President Peter Cramer said: “The Green Hornet is one of the most iconic and beloved superhero tales ever created, and it has entertained generations of fans in every form of storytelling.
“We are thrilled to be partnering with Michael, Bradley, and the entire Amasia team to launch an exciting new cinematic world for Britt Reid, Kato, and the Black Beauty, and we can’t wait to share it with global audiences soon.”
Personally, as I said above, I enjoyed the 2011 movie and would welcome another take on these two characters.
What say you all?

Ever since seeing Star Wars for the first time around 1979 he’s been an unapologetic fan of the Wars and still believes, with Clone Wars and now Underworld, we are yet to see the best Star Wars. He’s a dad of two who now doesn’t have the time (or money) to collect the amount of toys, comics, movies and books he once did, much to the relief of his long-suffering wife. In the real world he’s a graphic designer. He started Following the Nerd because he was tired of searching a million sites every day for all the best news that he loves and decided to create one place where you can go to get the whole lot. Secretly he longs to be sitting in the cockpit of his YT-1300 Corellian Transport ship with his co-pilot Chewie, roaming the universe, waiting for his next big adventure, but feels just at home watching cartoons with his kids….
