Columbia Pictures to Make Green Hornet!
The Hornet has done it all, radio, comic books, T.V. and now the Big Screen!
The legendary crime-fighter the Green Hornet will have his very own feature film, produced by Neal H. Moritz and Original Film. Announced today by Matt Tolmach and Doug Belgrad, presidents of production for Columbia Pictures.
Columbia optioned the rights from Mortiz who acquired them from Green Hornet Inc. Mortiz said: "I couldn't be more thrilled to be developing this world renowned property with the people who brought Spider-Man to the screen. I can't imagine a studio better equipped or more prepared to handle this kind of material than Sony. With the radio show, television program, comic books, and novels, there is ample source material to bring this classic crime-fighter to life."
Tolmach said, "We have an enormous amount of passion and commitment to this character and are looking forward to developing The Green Hornet into what we hope will be an amazing new franchise for the studio."
