The Green Hornet

The Green Hornet (Great Movies, Tue 9:00pm - 11:25pm) is a 2011 action-comedy film directed by Michel Gondry, based on the character of the same name that originated in a 1930s radio show and later appeared in comic books and a 1960s television series. The film stars Seth Rogen as Britt Reid, the wealthy and carefree son of a prominent newspaper publisher, who transforms into the vigilante hero, the Green Hornet, after his father's mysterious death. Joined by his father's ingenious employee, Kato (played by Jay Chou), who has a flair for martial arts and high-tech gadgetry, Britt sets out to fight crime in Los Angeles. This new take on the Green Hornet character blends action, humor, and a modern sensibility, with a focus on the unusual partnership and dynamics between Britt and Kato. The film, while offering an unconventional approach to superhero storytelling, received mixed reviews but was notable for its stylized action sequences and comedic elements.

Howard's score for the film is dynamic and energetic, matching the film's fast-paced action and comedic tone. The music combines traditional orchestral elements with electronic and modern beats, reflecting the film's contemporary setting and the high-tech gadgets used by the Green Hornet and Kato. The soundtrack effectively supports the film's action sequences while also providing a lighter, more humorous undercurrent that aligns with the movie's comedic aspects. Additionally, the film features a mix of contemporary and classic songs that complement its high-energy and playful tone, contributing to the overall entertainment value of the movie.
