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????

    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!!

  12. adt says – reply to this


    112

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

  13. Jodi A says – reply to this

    119

    This guy was funny in 40 Year Old…now just retreads that same character over and over and over and…

  20. Victor says – reply to this


    120

    it could work…

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

    it could def. work.

  21. Bridge says – reply to this


    121

    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

  23. & says – reply to this

  30. i just says – reply to this


    130

    I Just wanna cuddle with him

  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.

  33. JD says – reply to this


    133

  35. sophy says – reply to this


    135

    i love seth so much. if he sees this i just wanna tell him that i want to marry you.

  36. Aussie says – reply to this


    136

    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…

  37. BryGuy says – reply to this


    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!

  40. nk says – reply to this


    140

    he's sexy.

  41. rawrfa says – reply to this


    141

    i love seth, but i'm glad the green hornet isn't a spandex wearing superhero.

  42. neavie says – reply to this


    142

    YESSSSSSSSS i love him! SO shudda won an mtv movie award !!!!!!! X

  43. lauren says – reply to this


    143

    hes so effing funny, it doesnt matter how unattractive he is. his humor makes him a HOTTIE :) ..

  44. fairym says – reply to this


    144

    there's something about him that is hot!

  45. Robin says – reply to this


    145

    I've had a crush on him since his little part in 40 Yr Old Virgin, so yes, I wanna' see it. ^.^

  46. blondi says – reply to this


    146

    seth rogen is a hotttie!!!!!!!!

  47. Ashley says – reply to this


    147

    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.

  49. slickc says – reply to this


    149

    ewwwwww

  50. midge says – reply to this


    150

    Oh totally I love Seth !!!

    151

    he's a funny guy and an incredible screenwriter (hello, superbad!! lol)
    i think its odd, but i know it'll work

  52. Devin says – reply to this


    152

    I like it! Rogan can totally pull it off. Pompous is just a step away from comedy. :P

  53. JEN NE says – reply to this

    156

    fuck ya he's a fox

  57. Kate says – reply to this


    157

    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


    159

    i think he'll be an amazing super hero!
    i love him as an actor.

  60. Wilna says – reply to this

    He is totaly hot!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  61. Steve says – reply to this


    161

    It'll be like Batman with Adam West.

  62. Kim says – reply to this


    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"!!!

    171

    Seth is awesome, we just were extras on the set of his movie in Albuquerque, he was really nice to the extras. He is so funny, and his laugh can be heard across the room!~ we wish him the best, and hope he will do more films here!~

  72. megs says – reply to this


    172

    I'd do him.

  73. youma says – reply to this


    173

    I thought he was lucky making out with that Heigl chick until I see she never takes a breath without a filthy cigarette in her nicotine stained mouth. Ugh I see now why Perez went gay ??

  74. ZapJ says – reply to this


    174

    This is so wrong I can't even find words to describe it.
