Spider-Man writer David Koepp has been tapped to pen the screenplay for a
Green Hornet and Kato movie, The Hollywood Reporter confirms. Produced by Universal Pictures and Amasia Entertainment, the project marks the first Green Hornet film since Michel Gondry s 2011 interpretation starring Seth Rogen and Jay Chou.
Koepp cleverly confirmed the news to SYFY WIRE via email, writing: Now I just have to type it.
Amasia Entertainment acquired the worldwide rights to the classic IP earlier this year; the company was founded by Bradley Gallo and Michael Helfant (former president of Marvel Studios). In addition to the big screen reboot, Amasia is also working on an animated series with Kevin Smith at the helm. It will be centered around the next generation of heroes: Green Hornet s son and Kato s daughter.
