ROGEN'S ACTION HERO ROLE MAKING HIM SICK
Comedy star SETH ROGEN is working out so hard to play comic book hero THE GREEN HORNET, his exercise regime is making him sick.
Rogen is switching from funnyman to action star in preparation for his new role as masked superhero Britt Reid in the big screen adaptation of the 1966 TV series.
The movie is due to start shooting next February (09), but Rogen is already hitting the gym.
He says, "I lost a little weight... I have a personal trainer now... it's really hard. I exercised to the point where he made me throw up.
"I thought he'd be kind of supportive about it - rub my back, or hold my hair out of my face. There was none of that at all. He seemed totally disappointed in me."
But Rogen is convinced his dedication will pay off so he can prove others wrong. He adds of his 30-pound weight-loss: "I'll make a fine Green Hornet."

Iam a fan of the GREEN HORNET tv series from the 60's. There hasnt been
anything on the tv or big screen to portray him since the tv show. Now there is
so much bad talking about the role that Seth is going to play. If this Green
Hornet film is going to be a hit, the actors, and directors need to listen to
the fans of this famous crimefighting duo. This character is not the same campy
, BIFF, OOOF, BAM comedy show like Batman. This movie needs to be made with a
serious tone, a real storyline, and serious acting. The look is also important.
To us Hornet fans, the 60's tv show was the best there was, so if it possible
to resemble that look with the mask, hat, coat, and height, then the next thing
Seth needs to do is get into is role. Dont be some comedy actor, become THE
GREEN HORNET. And you and the movie will be a hit.

rogen will NOT make a good green hornet! why can't he get over his monumental ego
and get someone more suitable for the role. otherwise, it doesn't take a crystal
ball to know that this green hornet film will be an absolute failure.
also FYI-- the green hornet is not a superhero. he has no super powers. like the
batman he relys on his own physical strength, his intelligence, plus some really
dandy "toys" to fight crime.
