Deadline brings word that Universal Pictures and Amasia Entertainment are teaming up on the feature The Green Hornet and Kato, currently in development after Universal optioned the rights to the characters.
The Green Hornet was one of early radio’s most popular adventure shows, predating Superman, before being turned into 1940s movie serials from Universal.
Armed with knowledge from his sources, cool weapons, a supercar known as The Black Beauty, and teaming with his trusty aide Kato, Reid became The Green Hornet, a vigilante crime fighter wanted by the police and feared by the criminal world.
In 2011, Evan Goldberg and star Seth Rogen adapted and executive produced the action-comedy The Green Hornet, also starring Jay Chou, grossing $227.8 million at the worldwide box office.
