    Leigh Whannell May Direct “The Green Hornet and Kato” Film

    This just in-

    we MAY still be getting that long-gestating “The Green Hornet and Kato” film from Universal. Word today is that “Invisible Man” helmer Leigh Whannell may be in talks to direct. Back in 2020,  David Koepp (“Jurassic Park,” “Mission: Impossible“) was announced as writing the script for the project.

    It’s unclear if this film will use Koepp’s script, but it’s likely.

    This will be a live-action film, and not (we think) related to Kevin Smith‘s animated series. Smith’s series takes place in a contemporary/modern setting, with a re-imagined Green Hornet and Kato as they battle crime in Century City. But this Hornet is the grown son of the original Green Hornet, and this Kato is the daughter of the original Kato.

    This story is developing…

    We’ll let you know what we hear about this and other news.

    Mary Anne Butler (Mab) has been part of the fast-paced world of journalism since she was 15, getting her start in album reviews and live concert coverage for a nationally published (print) music magazine. She eventually transitioned to online media, writing for such sites as UGO/IGN, ComicsOnline, Geek Magazine, Ace of Geeks, Aggressive Comix (where she is still Editor-in-Chief), Bleeding Cool (where she was News Editor), and now Nerdbot as Editor-In-Chief. Over the past 10 years, she’s built a reputation at conventions across the globe as a cosplayer (occasionally), photographer (constantly), panelist and moderator (mostly), and reporter (always). Interviews, reviews, observations, breaking news, and objective reporting are the name of the game for the founder of Harkonnen Knife Fight, a Dune-themed band with an international presence. Though she be but little, she is fierce.
