just trolling until you catch something like me?

at least let me have a clue


My point was at the top... Kevin Smith has run out of ideas. His last movie, Jersey Girl, didn't do so well. So, he's obviously going back to the trough and revisit the story that made a name for him in the first place. IMHO, his last good film was Dogma and that was made four years ago. I like some of his work, especially Clerks, Chasing Amy and Dogma, but it seems that he has a tendency to be self-indulgent.

As for comic book movies... they're looking at one thing... Spider man and Spiderman 2 grossed over $750 million. Either alone has grossed ten times more at the box office than any of Smith's films.

I also wonder how faithful Smith can be to the comic with Jason Mewes in the lead role as the Green Hornet. He's a funny guy, but it's a stretch to call him a actor.

Kinda a funny turn of events though in light of how badly they dogged comic book movies in "Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back".

I do not see Jason Mewes playing Britt Reid. Did they cast the film yet? I'm wondering who will play Kato. That will be interesting...

According to IMDB, yes.

I've heard rumors of Jet Li as Kato.

I checked IMBD. They list Mewes as the only cast member, but no role. If Kevin does cast him as Britt Reid, I may have to jump ship. He's not a good actor.

According to Smith's site, it's confirmed.

Better read that again Sandman. It says he plans to use him somewhere in the movie. He's talked with Jake Gyllenhaal about the lead.

You're right. I read too much into that last one.
