Deadline is reporting that Paramount has secured the film rights to The Green Hornet, and that The Accountant director, Gavin O’Connor, is set to direct the reboot.
The director’s particular brand and style could be something many current fans of the Green Hornet character can get behind.
And the journey he goes on to become The Green Hornet is the dramatization of it, and becomes Britt’s true self.
My intention is to bring a gravitas to The Green Hornet that wipes away the camp and kitsch of the previous iteration.
