Movie News Extra!

CAROLINE: OK, if you thought the last movie news tidbit was random, check this out: Seth Rogen, the star of “Knocked Up,” is set to play a superhero!

RYAN: I just heard about that too! Talk about unlikely casting.

CAROLINE: Seriously. He’s going to be starring in “The Green Hornet,” which will be out in June 2010. He plays a character called Britt Reid, a rich kid who runs his dad’s newspaper by day and fights crime by night.

RYAN: And he has a sidekick named Kato. BTW Seth Rogen is actually writing the script himself, with his writing partner.

CAROLINE: Seth Rogen better be thanking Judd Apatow every freaking day for making him such a huge star.
