Most Unlikely Superhero

Filed under: Film Flickers

sethrogan1.jpg

It's a go!

Looks like Hollywood's newest superhero is Seth Rogan.

Yup, that guy from Superbad and Knocked Up.

Rogan's taking the lead role of Britt Reid (a bored playboy who inherits his father's crusading newspaper and spends his nights fighting crime with his sidekick, Kato) AND writing the script for The Green Hornet due in theaters in 2010.

Rogan as a playboy?

It could work…or totally not!

What do you U think about his casting????

    He's a talentless big fat fuck. Its truly 'shock and awe' that hollywood considers this lard ass talent. What the FUCK has happened to pop culture?!

  32. darada says – reply to this
    32

    it totally will! he's got that self-assured a-hole kind of bravado about him; it's the same way robert downey, jr. does, but a little less dripping with the sex. i say: thumbs up to seth rogan!

  33. Lindsa says – reply to this

    I've always thought he was cute…but he's really gotten hotter. Did anyone see him on the MTV Movie Awards? Seems he lost weight, shaved his head…. He's well on his way to being a playboy.

    I almost feel bad saying this, because he is such a nice guy…but, I hope they have a ton of money set aside for special effects, specifically for the airbrushing, they are going to need.

    I think that maybe he may not be the final choice for the role…he was going to be in superbad originally, as one of the kids. soo…you know, maybe this isn't the final casting call

  60. Leila says – reply to this

    He's a little rough around the edges but he could be a stud by 2010 he's got 2 years to fix himself

  61. lola says – reply to this
    61

    i know not everyone enjoys him, but he is funny. he's very talented for his age and we need more actors/writers like him. just cause he is a doughboy and has a jew fro doesn't mean he can't play a mean superhero.
    and to me, he's fucking hot.

  62. shan says – reply to this

    Re: Vimmy

    HUH? You're insane. Seth Rogen is hilarious. Far from being a pervert. Crazy person you are. And Perez it's ROGEN not ROGAN, you should probably check on those kinds of things before you post.

    HE's CANADIAN YAAAAA HES AWESOME FOR THE PART

  70. vgrrl says – reply to this

    I don't get why he keeps casting himself in these unrealistic roles. I loved Knocked up and Super bad…but struggled each time Katherine kissed him. As if… he should just stick to writing and producing. No on cameras….sorry guy…you're just not camera ready.

  71. www.my says – reply to this

    I think he's gorgeous and so funny…..I love him, I think he'd be great.

    I think it will totally work. It has been on IMDB for a while that he was involved with this film. I think Seth is cute, in his quirky way. I wanna see him play a playboy, and by that I mean I want to see him playing around with other boys :)

    seth's hot…but, not as a superhero. i hope he doesn't drop a ton of weight…he's great just like he is.

    ABOUT TIME YOU POST SOMETHING ABOUT SETH ROGEN. He's so cute, man. He's hilarious. Good for him. I can't believe Johnny Depp won the comedy award over Seth Rogen and the other boys he always cast.
