The Green Hornet, which will star Seth Rogen and Stephen Chow, is scheduled to start shooting this summer. According to Doug Belgrad and Matt Tolmach, the president of Columbia Pictures, Michel Gondry is in negotiations to direct the film.

The screenplay was written by Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg, who will also be the executive producers along side Micheal Grillo. Tolmach, commenting on the movie, said:

“From the very beginning, Seth, Evan, and Neal wanted this film to stand out from the pack with its originality. You couldn’t ask for a better director than Michel Gondry to bring that to life. We’re huge fans of Michel Gondry.”

Gondry, who has won awards as a film, commercial, and music video director exclaimed:

“I’m very excited about The Green Hornet and all that I hope to bring to it. This story has always been close to me and now Seth & Evan have written a script that is both funny and real - the best of both worlds. I cannot wait to further collaborate with them on it.”

The Green Hornet release date is set for June 25, 2010.
