More posters escape from Michel Gondry’s Green Hornet and while we’ve seen the film we are bound by a strict, and slightly silly, embargo which means we can say nothing about it, and therefore we must hope that these four posters will do in place of an opinion.
These are the Korean posters and while the obligatory orange/blue Photoshop bonanza is prevalent I do like the look of the characters as seen here – expect that the pose they chose for Cameron Diaz is a touch too catalogue model for me (for the full effect check out the Spanish poster), but hey – Christoph Waltz has bendable arms and can repel the full force of an explosion so I’m in.
Perfunctory plottage text follows,
Britt Reid (Seth Rogen), son and heir to Los Angeles’ largest newspaper fortune, is a rich, spoiled playboy who has been happy to maintain a direction-less existence. When his father James Reid (Tom Wilkinson) dies, Britt meets an impressive and resourceful company employee, Kato (Jay Chou). They realize that they have the resources to do something worthwhile with their lives and finally step out of James Reid’s shadow. Kato builds the ultimate weapon, The Black Beauty, an indestructible car with every weapon imaginable and Britt decides that in order to be heroes, they will pose as villains. With the help of Britt’s new secretary, Lenore Case (Cameron Diaz), they learn that the chief criminal in the city is named Benjamin Chudnofsky (Christoph Waltz). He has united all the gangs under his power, and he quickly sees that the Green Hornet is a direct threat to the prosperous criminal underworld he controls.
If the mood takes you there’s a ton of trailers, images and other posters right here – here are the images.
Filmofilia had em, but before that – who knows?
