Get me the Raid

Based on my reaction to this trailer, The Green Hornet looks to be as dead as The Prince of Persia or even Jonah Hex. For one thing, Seth Rogan as a comic book super hero doesn't appear to work. The Cato character comes across as a ventriloquist's dummy. And the brief appearance of Cameron Diaz seems to be nothing more than some producer saying "Gwyneth Paltow did wonders for Ironman, let's see what her near sister can do for our faltering project." It's significant the movie is scheduled to open in January, the traditional dumping ground for bad products.
