Britt Reid is the son of LA’s most prominent and respected media magnate and perfectly happy to maintain a directionless existence on the party scene — until his father mysteriously dies, leaving Britt his vast media empire. Striking an unlikely friendship with one of his father’s more industrious and inventive employees, Kato, they see their chance to do something meaningful for the first time in their lives: fight crime. But in order to do this, they decide to become criminals themselves — protecting the law by breaking it, Britt becomes the vigilante The Green Hornet as he and Kato hit the streets.
Trailering The Green Hornet

*sigh* BATMAN AND ROBIN all over again.
Realistic situations can be twisted to something weird (THE TWILIGHT ZONE; LOST) or unlikely situations can be made as plausible as possible (BATMAN BEGINS, THE DARK KNIGHT, CASINO ROYALE) and the show will play well.
THE GREEN HORNET is an unlikely situation that needs to be PLAYED STRAIGHT. It is in no way a comedy. It wasn’t a comedy on TV in 1966 and it shouldn’t be now.
Columbia, Rogan, et al are going to lose their ass.
