Seth Rogen Talks Green Hornet March 25, 2009 2:58 pm

add a comment
During a press event for his upcoming comedy Observe and Report, actor Seth Rogen talked about the upcoming superhero film The Green Hornet. Rogen once again confirmed that the film has a “tentative start date” for the end of June. Rogen also talked a bit about Stephen Chow’s invovlement:
He’s kind of our mascot. (laughs) He may be Kato. I’m not 100% sure if that’s the case, but it’s a very likely possibility. I’m not sure. Honestly, we’re kind of in the very early phases right now. We’re just putting those elements in place so I’m being honest. I honestly don’t know yet.
Similarly to what he told SCI FI Wire, the character will be Lone Ranger’s grandnephew:
He’s actually the Lone Ranger’s grandnephew. The Lone Ranger is owned by Jerry Bruckheimer so that probably limits the amount of involvement we can actually have in that movie. We were inspired by the original. We kind of took what we thought was good and left what we didn’t. Honestly, we didn’t feel any real obligation living up to the original because the radio plays totally different than the TV show which is different than the comic book. There is no real set way.

ABC’s Dancing With the Stars drew more than 20 million viewers, leading the network comfortably past the competition to take first place on the evening. Week three of Castle didn’t go so well, however, with the show dipping by double-digits across the board, and falling below 10 million viewers (Note: The numbers will likely fall more when the finals are released because DWTS ran two minutes into the 10:00pm hour).
Following in second place was CBS. I’m confused about why the network decided to move How I Met Your Mother to 8:00pm and put a repeat at 8:30pm, but whatever the reason, it did not work at all. The show dipped significantly (by more than double-digits). Rules of Engagement also slipped a bit at 9:30pm (it led out of a repeat of Two and a Half Men) but managed a still healthy number among adults 18-49, with near 100% retention among the demo (I know it aired out of a repeat, but its still noteworthy). CSI: Miami closed out the evening as the night’s #2 most-watched program after Dancing With the Stars.
Fox aired a repeat of House last night, but an original episode of 24 kept the network in a solid third place, with very little loss in viewership from the week prior.
NBC was stuck in fourth place with original installments of Chuck, Heroes and Medium. The biggest news is that Heroes hit series lows yet again.
And rounding out the was The CW which failed to get much traction out of Gossip Girl and One Tree Hill.

add a comment
CBS Consumer Products has sealed a deal to bring the stage show Survivor: Live to three theme parks this summer.
“Audience involvement is key to the success of ‘Survivor,’ and we’ve been looking to make that tangible and real,” said Liz Kalodner, exec VP and general manager of CBS Consumer Products. “It took us a little time to create something that replicated the essence of the show.”
According to Variety, the half-hour program will use clips from the TV series — as well as actors portraying previous contestants — and divide the audience into four “tribes.” Volunteers from the crowd will go through a series of four challenges, leading eventually to a sole winner.
The show will debut May 2 at Denver’s Elitch Gardens and Oklahoma City’s Frontier City. On May 23rd a third show, at the Darien Lake Theme Park Resort in Darien Center, N.Y., will open.
