Seth Rogen, in an LA Times peice talks mainly about his uphill battle to get the Green Hornet into production.
(The Hornet was featured in movie serials in 1940 and 1941 but never really made much impact as a comic-book character. MOstly, featured on radio, not in print, according to the LA Times.)
He states how other superhero movies have flown off the shelves, but mainly the bit on his meeting with Fox and X men: First Class:
“I had a meeting with Fox the other day and they have all of the ‘X-Men: First Class’ stuff up on the wall,” Rogen said of the Marvel Comics adaptation, which didn’t even have a director until May but is now being fast-tracked for release next summer. “Look at the way that movie is happening. It could have the worst script in the world, the worst director in the world — not that it does, but it could have those things — and there’s no way the movie isn’t going to get made. Our movie was not like that.”
