Paramount are confident that won’t be the case this time around, and they’ve brought Gavin O’Connor on board to direct.
Together they’re planning on reimagining the character of Britt Reid, and they’re hoping that the impending reboot will launch its own franchise.
Paramount Pictures picked up the rights and are working on rebooting The Green Hornet, which has been a pop culture mainstay since the character debuted on the radio back in the 1930s.
Since then he’s appeared in a myriad of comics, his very own television series, and most recently came to the big screen in the Seth Rogen-led 2011 origin story, which despite being enjoyable failed to find a large enough audience to warrant a sequel.
