As the release date for The Green Hornet looms closer (it hits UK cinemas on the 14th January), here’s a fun little taster of what’s to come courtesy of Columbia Pictures.

It’s interesting to note from this featurette how co-writers Seth Gold Rogen and Evan Goldberg has taken a character who has more than a whiff of Batman about him (son of a rich media magnate who decides to dedicate his life to bringing criminals to justice following the death of his father, using his money and resources to create an alter ego) and turn him into a refreshingly believable superhero.

For starters, The Hornet himself doesn’t appear to possess much in the way of fighting skills, leaving that to his sidekick Kato, who seems to be serving in a more integral role than the likes of Robin or Captain America’s Bucky, as he’s the brains behind the gadgetry and firepower too.

The film stars Rogen as Britt Reid/The Green Hornet, Jay Chou as Kato, Cameron Diaz and Christoph Waltz.
