            In an interesting piece of news, it seems that there will be another attempt at a new version of the classic 60s TV series, The Green Hornet. According to Deadline, Gavin O’Connor (Warrior, The Accountant) is set to direct a modern feature film remake of the property.

            I know what plenty of people are thinking, didn’t we just see this? The answer is yes, as it was only five years ago that the horrific movie version of the TV series that starred Seth Rogen, Jay Chou, Cameron Diaz and Christoph Waltz was released. That was one of the worst films I’ve seen in theaters by far but I’m hopeful that O’Connor coming on will bring a different kind of film then that of the one directed by Michel Gondry. Yes, it’s scary that the same person that helmed Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind brought us a movie like 2011’s The Green Hornet.

            O’Connor has said that this is a property that he’s always wanted to helm since becoming a filmmaker so I believe in his passion to make a great movie out of this property. Though I haven’t seen The Accountant yet, I absolutely love Warrior and believe that he can do a good job overall with this potential franchise.
