Kevin Smith to Spearhead ‘Green Hornet’ Animated Series

Kevin Smith, best known for ‘Clerks’, ‘Chasing Amy’ and ‘Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back’, is returning to his comic roots for his next project, joining with WildBrain (‘Peanuts’) to create a new animated series based on ‘The Green Hornet’.

Smith has been a longtime fan of the character, and was actually hired in 2004 to write the screenplay for a planned live action adaptation with Miramax.  That project got stuck in development hell, and ultimately Dynamite Entertainment used said script for a 2010 Comic adaptation.

This new version will target a family audience and also be set in modern times as opposed to the original radio series 1930’s setting.

This new adaptation will have both the Green Hornet and Kato teaming up to battle crime in Century City, and Smith has promised to do justice to the legacy but to also put his own spin on it.

No broadcaster or streaming platform has been confirmed at this point.
