I just hung up on customer service hold music to bring you this AMAZING news flash:

Michel Gondry is directing Green Hornet.

So reports Production Weekly’s Twitter feed (which you should subscribe to here). They’re usually pretty correct about these things, and this news has me just about jumping for joy. Sure, Gondry is no Stephen Chow, but Stephen Chow is no Michel Gondry.

What does this even mean for Green Hornet? I’m assuming you don’t ask Gondry to come on your movie and shoot it generically. What does a Michel Gondry action film even LOOK like? I for one can’t even begin to wait to find out.

Holy shit, sometimes movie news can really blow your mind.
