Video: The Green Hornet First Trailer

This trailer for The Green Hornet reveals a movie that takes the comic book movie trend in a great direction: keep the explosions, kicking ass, and gizmos and gadgets, but add an element of humor as only Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg can give us.

Seth Rogen plays Britt Reid, the partying son of a prominent newspaper man who must take over the media empire when his father mysteriously dies. He then teams up with Kato (Jay Chou), one of his father's employees. Britt becomes the masked vigilante The Green Hornet and together with Kato they hit the streets to fight crime.

Cameron Diaz plays Lenore Case, and Christoph Waltz plays the villainous Benjamin Chudnofsky. The film is directed by Michael Gondry (Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind) and will be unmasked in theaters January 14, 2011.
