 This year is the Green Hornet team’s second trip to Comic-Con, but star Seth Rogen is characteristically nonchalant about it. He views the somewhat plagued production as no…

Michel Gondry’s superhero might be creating a buzz, but haven’t we heard this ‘ordinary guy decides to fight crime’ shtick before?It might not have performed well at the US box office, supposedly the ultimate arbiter of future big budget movie-making, but Matthew Vaughn’s Kick-Ass has certainly made a profound and lasting impact on the world of comic-book films. Perhaps it’s a little like the old adage about the Velvet Underground’s first album (albeit on a rather larger scale), that each of the 1,000 or so people who bought it went out and formed a band. Or perhaps Hollywood is aware of quite how many people illegally downloaded a copy of the film.In any case, I doubt that films such as Michel Gondry’s forthcoming The Green Hornet, which arrives in the UK and US on 14 January, would have looked quite the same before Hit Girl and Big Daddy’s big-screen debut. Kick-Ass seems to have created a “third way” for the genre that eschews both high camp and “dark and serious” approaches in favour of a postmodern take, allowing the audience to laugh at various genre tropes. In a sense, it’s the superhero film’s answer to Wes Craven’s Scream, which poked fun at horror sensibilities yet remained a pretty scary movie in its own right.But back to The Green Hornet, which is looking increasingly like the heir to Kick-Ass. A new featurette for the film (below), which stars Seth Rogen as publishing-heir-turned-crimefighter Britt Reid, and Jay Chou as Kato, pitches the project as a different kind of superhero movie in which the protagonist is just an average guy who decides to take up a career fighting crime. Sound familiar?”We knew that me as a superhero is not something that people would expect,” says Rogen. “So to start with something that people could totally see me as, which is a moron that drinks all day, and slowly turn that guy into a superhero, became something that was interesting. …
There’s only one thing worse than Matthew Goode as the Man of Steel a rumours that Snyder plans to ‘Avatarise’ the film’s effectsThere can be few tougher casting choices than the one facing Zack Snyder as he plans his forthcoming Superman reboot. While audiences will happily accept awkwardly handsome actors as Batman (Michael Keaton) or, say, The Green Hornet (Seth Rogen), it’s almost impossible to cast anyone as the Man of Steel who doesn’t fit the all-American mould of the “big blue boy scout”. Which is to say, it’s almost impossible to cast anyone who doesn’t look an awful lot like Christopher Reeve.Reeve more than owned the role of Superman, even if he only appeared in one and a half decent movies wearing his underpants on the wrong side of his trousers. Brandon Routh can count his lucky stars because, while a decent actor, he would probably still be an unknown were it not for a remarkable resemblance to his predecessor. Nicolas Cage was once considered to play Superman but would have been hugely hampered due to his rather unwieldy looks: audiences would have seen Nicolas Cage dressed as Superman rather than Superman himself, thus throwing the entire project into pantomime.The reason what we’ll call “the Reeve issue” is of relevance is that a number of sites are saying Matthew Goode, who appeared in Snyder’s excellent Watchmen as hero-turned-industrialist Adrian Veidt (aka Ozymandias), is the frontrunner to play Clark Kent/Supes in the new film. At first glance this seems an eminently sensible choice: Snyder has worked with Goode before, and the actor has experience in the comic-book world. He’s 6ft 2in tall, which is just about big enough to play Superman, and is capable of packing on the pounds if necessary (Veidt was a svelte but pretty solid chap). He also has the right colouring (dark hair and blue eyes).All good on the surface, then. …
A News Blog about Motorcycle Accident Attorneys Orange County. Personal injury is a legal term for an injury to the body, mind or emotions, as opposed to an injury to property. The term is most commonly used to refer to a type of tort lawsuit alleging that the plaintiff’s injury has been caused by the negligence of another, but also arises in defamation torts. The most common types of personal injury claims are road traffic accidents, accidents at work, tripping accidents, assault claims, accidents in the home, product defect accidents (product liability) and holiday accidents. The term personal injury also incorporates medical and dental accidents (which lead to numerous medical negligence claims every year) and conditions that are often classified as industrial disease cases, including asbestosis and peritoneal mesothelioma, chest diseases (e.g., emphysema, pneumoconiosis, silicosis, chronic bronchitis, asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and chronic obstructive airways disease), vibration white finger, occupational deafness, occupational stress, contact dermititis, and repetitive strain injury cases. If the negligence of another party can be proved, the injured party may be entitled to monetary compensation from that party. In the United States, this system is complex and controversial, with critics calling for various forms of tort reform. From: Motorcycle Accident Attorneys Orange County. Attorneys and lawyers often represent clients on a “contingency basis,” in which the attorney’s fee is a percentage of the plaintiff’s eventual compensation, payable when the case is resolved. Oftentimes, having an attorney becomes essential because cases become extremely complex, such as in medical malpratice cases. From: Motorcycle Accident Attorneys Orange County.
