Most Unlikely Superhero

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????

      I think he would be good if they are making it into a comedy!!!

      P.S. why does this sound like Downey's Iron Man and Downey's possible future as Hef mixed into ONE????

      I LOVE RDJ

      Re: ya – - Hey "YA" at #92. Your sarcasm sort of backfired on you…..Seth WAS one of the cops in "Superbad", you idiot. So,…..right, yeah. He also co-wrote it….so, oooo-kay. Sarcasm is a skill that is acquired through superior knowledge of subject matter. You forgot the knowledge part.

      I think Seth Rogan is adorable. I love this guy. I'll watch anything he's in. They say comdey is the hardest thing to do as an actor and he's great at it. Go Seth!!

      Seth Rogan is talentless. And not funny. That movie is going to suck.

      120

      it could work…

      if he'd lose some weight and bulk up a little…

      it could def. work.

      This is the oldest news. Ever.

    22. Zanuck says – reply to this


      122

      Yeah Great casting, here's some more for those Hollywood brainiacs- Crispin Glover as the New James Bond, Perez as Dorthy in the remake of the Wiz, Gary Coleman is SUPERMAN 2010, Amy Winehouse starring as Madame Curie, Russel Crowe is James Brown (makeuppp), Adam Sandler AS Albert Einstein in E=Mc2, Madonna starring as Nancy Reqagan [NO makeup required], and Mick Jagger IS Orson Wells in War of the Worlds 'o9….how can they mess this Hornet up more? Maybe use Bruce Lee's corpse as Kato

    31. Ruben says – reply to this


      131

      Okay. I really like everything Rogen has done. From Freaks and Geeks to Superbad I've watched and loved them all. I really don't know who "loves" this idea. I'm sure it's not any of my fellow lovers of Comics. I'd like to see him write the film. I wouldn't like to see him as the lead. Thing of all the other super heros. He has got to get his shit together and lose like 100lbs of fat. Oh, and I ought to smack the person who thinks he is sexy.



    32. 132

      absolutely. seth rogan is a hottie.

      My hubby and I are the same age as Seth, and I have to say, hubby looks very similar to him, and Seth really, really turns me on. There are all sorts of freaky lovemaking moves I want to do to him, yum yum yum…

      137

      I wonder who told him he looked good in a beard



    38. 138

      i hate that guy !!! all his movies were fuckin stupid and hes not funny

    39. Tammy says – reply to this


      139

      No, this is horrid casting, but… doesn't surprise me. The same small group of people seem to get the best roles handed to them time after time. I have started watching mostly indie flicks that are privately funded. The studioheads just keep recycling themes, remakes and even actors and actresses, whether they're the best one for the roles or not!

      I thought Rogan was funny in 40 Year Old Virgin, but that he SUCKED in Knocked Up, seriously. He is good for the fat friend role, but playboy or hero? No way!

      he's sexy.

      I love him, I think he would be great. AND I got a feeling he'd be a great dramatic and action actor.

    48. JGC says – reply to this


      148

      Seth Rogen, Jewfro, deep voice, attitude and all…is the sexiest man in show business. Don't even deny it. But I feel like playing a superhero is kind of selling out.

      I read in an interview somewhere that he's going to lose weight for the role, which makes me really sad.

      I'll admit it seems unlikely, but you know, Heath Ledger seemed like a very unlikely actor for the Joker, and he pulled it off well.

    58. SO PIS says – reply to this


      158

      HE'S GOING TO RUIN THE GREEN HORNET!! I love the Green Hornet and he's going to fuck it up. It's not supposed to be funny but more like an american James Bond. It would be so much better if it was a Tarintino movie.

    59. Kayla says – reply to this

      i think he'll be an amazing super hero!

      It'll be like Batman with Adam West.

      162

      Seth Rogen as the Green Hornet? They have been trying to make that movie forever and it just keeps getting shelved. It won't do well, there is only one Kato, no one can play him like Bruce Lee.

    63. Kit-Ka says – reply to this


      163

      I ♥ you Seth!!!!!!!!

    64. jenbet says – reply to this


      164

      To be completely honest seth rogan is funny as shit when it comes to dry humor comedies, action packed super hero movie…. I'd be more interested in seeing paul walker's sexy bod on the big screen gettin his action on…

      No offense but flubber does not really scream "watch out villan kick ya ass and take back my city" its more likely screams "check it out imma get rid of the villan by sitting on him with my large bum bum"

      Again seth rogan good at comedies. Not sexy make you want to jump the screen super hero material.

      Nuff said son!

    65. jenbun says – reply to this


      165

      no.



    66. 166

      The guy is a great actor, and I LOVED him in knocked up. I wanted to go out with him, and I am all about the vagina.

      He's a guy's type of guy. One of us.



    67. 167

      Re: joeysd NO NO AND HELL NO. This guy was disgusting in Knocked Up. Please get someone hot and in shape. Please!

      I am betting you are male, and gay. If so, these movies aren't for you. Go watch the last Superman movie they put out.

      That would be great! He gives hope to all the geeky schlumpy non-Matthew McConaghey type guys! I like Seth - he's funny and has that cute teddy bear quality to him. Plus he's from Vancouver and that's where they film my fave TV show "Battlestar Galactica"!!!
