While Kevin Smith has said frequently he's no longer thinking about directing Miramax's big screen version of The Green Hornet, new co-president of production Jon Gordon tells Variety no decision has been made...

Gordon also is looking forward to getting Kevin Smith's draft of "The Green Hornet." Smith has been unabashed in admitting he's uncertain if he wants to direct the big-budget franchise, but Gordon said he doesn't expect a final decision until Smith has turned in the script.

Depends on the actors and story. There has always been rumors about Jet Lee playing Kato.

i think thats a certainty by now, i heard gyllenhall as the hornet

Yeah I don't really think Jake could pull it off.

he seems kinda.... compact, not very masculine or muscular or somethin... besides that, i don't know if he could play a hero

Just like Ben Affleck they just don't make good Super Heroes at all in my oppinion.

😂

I'm still grieving from when he did Daredevil.

me too, and i thought the other actors did decent enough jobs, but affleck killed it for me, and i always liked the dd character.

They have ruined any chances of anyone remaking it too by releasing Elektra. 🙁

Just in case Paola is watching.............Do you think Kevin Smith is the right director and or writer?

i dont know how elektras gonna be, i honestly don't could be good, could be shit, we'll see.

as for smith, im still undecided, i believe hes capable of doing a great job, but whether he will or not i don't know

What I meant was that by making a spin-off to Daredevil it eliminates any hope of a remake because the film would have to be abandoned for at least 10 years without any spin-off or sequel.

Kevin has never done a film like this so I'm not sure but like you said he is capable of doing a great job.

I think Catwoman kind of scared people off a little so I don't think Elektra will do that well regardless of how good or bad it really is.
Kevin Smith would have been a great director for Daredevil in my oppinion since he understood the character so well and wrote the DD comic books for a while.

It would be challening to do this kind of film well but hopefully Kevin can do it. He already wrote the script so it should be at least half decent even if he isn't the director.

yeah, fingers crossed

me too.

u hear the whole zhang ziyi thing? apparently they're considerin her for a part and also smith has his heart set on gyllenhall as the hornet
