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????

  29. SD says – reply to this

    I love Seth. He's adorable. And I think he's a good actor.

  30. tearyo says – reply to this


    30

    hes hilarious! he could do anything, you could just tell.

  31. Nigel says – reply to this


    31

    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


    33

    It should be good, I loveeeee Seth Rogan!!!

  36. 36

  40. missys says – reply to this


    40

    if he lost 20 kilos

  41. Lolo says – reply to this


    41

    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.

  42. No way says – reply to this


    42

    Wow! This is incredible! It reminds me of when they first announced this, THREE MONTHS AGO you fat twit! Just report on "Speidi" you Shrek-Looking motherfucker.

  43. morgan says – reply to this

  54. Ditsy says – reply to this


    54

    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.

  55. Megan says – reply to this


    55

    I Love Seth Rogan >3

  56. MontrĂ says – reply to this

  58. Ska says – reply to this


    58

    he is a dork, AND very very very adorable so it will work.

  59. sdkjls says – reply to this


    59

    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


    60

    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


    62

    It'll be great! There's something really sexy about a funny guy and seth rogen is pretty cute.

  63. ddd says – reply to this


    63

    lol…he is fucking hilarious!!!

  64. Vimmy says – reply to this


    64

    Bad casting choice. He's a fucking pervert asshole.

  65. jacki says – reply to this


    65

    I fucking love him and think it will be fabulous.

  66. KRM says – reply to this


    66

    I would do him 10 ways from Sunday, good casting choice! Interesting!

  67. Davin says – reply to this


    67

    Lovehim! I will definitely go see it! he is the epitome of the sexy dork!

  68. huh? says – reply to this


    68

    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.

  69. Fran says – reply to this


    69

    HE's CANADIAN YAAAAA HES AWESOME FOR THE PART

  70. vgrrl says – reply to this


    70

    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


    71

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

  72. mimi says – reply to this


    72

    and I'm not even jewish .. I'm latin….

    I would see it.. I have crush on him anyways ….

  73. dollym says – reply to this

    Love, love, love Seth Rogan! And think he'd be a great anything. Including boyfriend to me. :)

  74. Christ says – reply to this


    74

    He's Canadian tooo!
    so yeah I think hes awesome!

  75. Mariss says – reply to this


    75

    gross! he's a pot-head. slow minded dopers can't be superheros! and he's fugly.

  76. Cassie says – reply to this


    76

    Oh, I hope this doesn't suck! :)

  77. Evan says – reply to this


    77

    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 :)

  78. m says – reply to this


    78

    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.

  79. CARLY says – reply to this


    79

    ROGEN YOU IDIOT. and all you people gushing about how you love seth ROGAN just proves you all are idiots as well.

    he's my baby's daddy.

  80. gisell says – reply to this


    80

    his not bad lookin and funny so yeah I think it will totally work

  81. M says – reply to this


    81

    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.

  82. unstop says – reply to this


    82

    I LOVE Seth Rogan= Funny Guy/ Curly Hair/ Super Cute!!! awwww. marry me!



  83. 83

    Um . . . ew? I guess this movie is going to be strictly comedy, then? Is John Cho going to be Kato?

    I like my superheroes corny, testosterone-oozing beefcakes or sentimental every-guys, thanks.

  84. PETA m says – reply to this


    84

    He is a bad actor. He is not funny at all.

  85. Cddk says – reply to this


    85

    Terrible!!! This is going to be a Seth Rogan comedy - horrible idea for Green Hornet.



  86. 86

    Awesome.

    I have MAD LOVE for Seth Rogan.

  87. Ch3lle says – reply to this


    87

    I love this guy, I will see any movie he is in. I think he is adorable in the nerdy way. In the end I'd do him, LOL! I think he will make this both a interesting and funny movie.

  88. Ali says – reply to this


    88

    I went to highschool with the guy - he's awesome!! he can do anything and everyone would support him b/c he's freaking hilaroius!!!

  89. Lindz says – reply to this


    89

    Oh course it'll work - he's sooo hot!!!

  90. lachel says – reply to this


    90

    I think if as long as he hits up the gym, he'll be fine, Ill go see it

  91. mog78 says – reply to this


    91

    i think he's hot, but i don't want to see him spandex.

    (naked, however, would be just fine)

  92. ya says – reply to this


    92

    he wasn't in superbad… you're thinking of the shorter fat kid that vaguely kind of resembles him, so riiight…

  93. love h says – reply to this


    93

    love him- will see any movie with him- he's hillarious

  94. Nancy says – reply to this


    94

    I'd fuck him!

  95. Dipshi says – reply to this


    95

    Does anyone else out there find this guy NOT FUNNY? I saw both those movies, and to be honest, he ruined both movies. He talks to much! The only one he was OK in was 40 year old, but he wasn't the main character. Lucky bastard getting gigs with no talent.

  96. mandy says – reply to this


    96

    Perez it's Seth ROGEN - not Rogan

  97. Sarah says – reply to this


    97

    I love Seth Rogan! If it's done right (and he's a talented writer, so it should be), he could totally pull it off.



  98. 98

    Not my picture of a playboy. Atlhough those dumpy, dorky Madden brothers aren't my picture of anything even remotely do-able either.

  99. Astria says – reply to this


    99

    I absolutely love him, he's cute, talented, funny, I'm totally psyched!

  100. lovehi says – reply to this


    100

    He is my PERFECT man. Funny, lewd, and I think, VERY good looking. No six pack abs and chiclet teeth for me. I want a guy who won't get mad when I fart, burp, or take a bong hit in front of him.
