We just mentioned a few days ago that Green Hornet would not be filming in 2009 and now Seth Rogen has come forward to reassure that this movie is still happening as planned.

FirstShowing says:

“[The studio heads] have every intention on making it, and assuming we’re able to hire a new director in the upcoming weeks, which seems like a distinct possibility, it should still hit the release date,” Rogen told HitFix. Not only is he starring in the film and co-writing it, but he’s also producing, which means he has more than just a strong say in what happens.

I am still undecided about seeing Rogen as the Green Hornet. And with Stephen Chow pulling out on directing but still staring it in, I couldn’t decide if that was a good or bad thing either. If he walked altogether, I would think he gave up on the project, but he is still on the job, just not in the comfy chair.

So provided they get themselves a new director, which shouldn’t be hard to find, the movie will be going on as intended with this as one small speed bump in their plans.
