Fly, "Green Hornet!" Fly!

The release date Seth Rogen's superhero update will buzz back a few days to July 9, 2010, according to Exhibitor Relations.

The film's previously scheduled June 25 spot will be filled by Adam Sandler's "Grown Ups," a previously untitled comedy about high-school classmates who relive the glory days during a reunion. Kevin James, Chris Rock, Rob Schneider and David Spade will co-star.

"Green Hornet" is based on a 1960s live-action show in the vein of Adam West's "Batman" and starring Bruce Lee as the title character's sidekick. That show was in turn based on a comic book in which Britt Reid, a descendant of the Lone Ranger, fought crime under the guise of, well, The Green Hornet.

Saying that the Green Hornet is along the same vein as Batman isn't really fair. Although I loved it, Batman was campy fun and outrageous antics. Green Hornet was much more serious than that.

I, too, have much difficulty seeing Seth Rogan as the Green Hornet.
