Michel Gondry and Seth Rogen’s “The Green Hornet” have both launched new websites. Is this some strange cosmic fate? Gondry was once attached to direct “Hornet,’ and Rogen still hasn’t found a director for the project – could it be the stars are aligning?
Actually, no not at all. We were just looking for a way to kill two birds with one semi-similar stone.
The Hornet’s site is just a holding page that Sony has produced that simply has the movie’s new logo and the already announced release date, June 25, 2010.
Michel Gondry’s interweb place is also just a holding page, but on its typically wacky graphic advertising the coming-soon-ness of the site, the Gallic director mentions a bunch of the upcoming materials you’ll be able to purchase on the site including a new DVD called “Gondry 2: More Videos” which looks like an unofficial sequel to his director’s label DVD released in 2003 (“new videos and surprises!” it says). The site also boasts a “The Science of Sleep” import DVD from France with a new cut, previously unseen scenes and a comic book, T-shirts and books related to the upcoming vignettes film, “Tokyo,” comic books by his son Paul Gondry and other Gondry-related movie detritus – including “1,000 Bad Jokes written on toilet paper.” Is Michel Gondry having trouble financing his next film or something?
