It might not exactly be early — unless you live in Hawaii, which people do — but it is still the Early Edition here at FSR. And since we know that you can’t start your day until we give you some news, we’d like to get you going…

The Green Hornet might be another victim of the recession. Or the recession might be a good cover for getting rid of a project no one cares about.

Fan reaction was incredibly positive a few months ago when it was announced that Stephen Chow, of Shaolin Soccer and Kung Fu Hustle fame, would be directing and starring in Seth Rogan’s big-screen update of The Green Hornet. Well it’s time to temper that excitement by at least half…

Seth Rogen laid down some interview tracks related to all of his upcoming projects, including Observe and Report, The Green Hornet, Ghostbusters 3 and Judd Apatow’s Funny People.

Write this down: The Green Hornet is officially one of the most anticipated films of 2010. Sure, there will be Iron Man 2 and plenty of other cool tentpoles, but none of them will have the magical touch of Stephen Chow.

You don’t even know who Atom Egoyan is, do you?

Either the folks at Sony Pictures are really trying to prove that Seth Rogen’s film The Green Hornet is actually going forward, or one of their graphic artists was really bored over the weekend and decided to make a logo.

He’ll also need a taser and an ill-fitting pair of Dickie’s to step into the role of a mall rent-a-cop in the tentatively titled Observe and Report. Of course, it’s weird to say that his future is bright when, you know, his present is pretty blinding as well.

From the goofy warehouse guy in The 40-Year Old Virgin to banging Izzy Stephens in Knocked Up to playing The Green Hornet. Behold the rise of Seth Rogen.
