Seth Rogen ‘frustrated’ and ‘disappointed’ by critics’ attacks on ‘Green Hornet’
Seth Rogen has admitted that he’s been “frustrated” by the initial reaction to his new movie The Green Hornet.
The actor told MTV News that he is upset that director Michel Gondry’s film has been widely criticized before its release.
“As you get wrapped up in it, as there’s two years of time where people are saying how bad it is, without having seen anything, it does get frustrating and, ultimately, just disappointing, more than anything,” he said.
Rogen, who co-wrote The Green Hornet‘s screenplay, further remarked that he feels particularly betrayed by negative reviews from online media.
“You look at these outlets that, as a comic book nerd, I kind of respected at times and thought were interesting voices just say things that are insane and completely uninformed and uneducated and based on no reality whatsoever, and it’s kind of like, ‘Oh, that’s disappointing. I thought these guys were cool’. But they’re not. They’re just like everybody else.”
The Green Hornet is released on January 14 in US and UK cinemas.
