“The Green Hornet,” the weird, possibly disastrous Seth Rogen-assisted reboot of the superhero that everyone confuses with Green Arrow or Green Lantern, (this guy has a car and and Asian sidekick, we think,) continues to somehow generate surprising new revelations.
While tapping impish Gallic man-child Michel Gondry to direct and choosing a Taiwanese pop star to play a role once filled by Bruce Lee seemed bizarre (if perhaps canny, in a global-market sense,) enough, now we’re hearing that Eddie Furlong has a supporting role?
Furlong, of course, is the young rebel who listened to G n’R and provided Arnold Schwarzenegger with one of his more bitchin’ campaign lines, in the totally mind-blowing second Terminator movie. Eddie also charmed the Spanx off of us in John Waters’ underrated “Pecker” of 1998, and then more or less hasta la vista’d. (For you completists, there was also “Detroit Rock City.”)
Evidently, he’s had some problems since then, which may have contributed to a serious case of cheekbone loss, among other things.
If you cynical Internet hyenas needed a reason to root for Team Hornet, this is it. Good luck, Eddie, it’s nice to have you back! Let us know when that Peter Coyote/Slash project drops, kay?
