Cameron Diaz Considers Seth Rogen’s ‘Green Hornet’

Published by Jeff Leins on July 9, 2009

Cameron Diaz is considering an offer to play the female lead in The Green Hornet, Seth Rogen’s comedy take on the action hero.  A deal hasn’t been made yet, but the actress is up for a role written by Rogen and his writing partner Evan Goldberg.  Michel Gondry (Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind) is directing for a July 9, 2010 release.

The Entertainment Weekly story doesn’t have further details on what type of part it might be.  A love interest?  A villain?  Kato’s adopted sister?  Either way she has proven her ability to keep up with comedy in There’s Something About Mary, her first movie The Mask with Jim Carrey, and to a certain extent her voice work in the Shrek trilogy.  I’m personally not the biggest fan of hers and I would rather see a newcomer helped in her career over Diaz’s Joker smile.  But I have to admit she’s better than most of the hot, untalented actresses getting much of the public attention (Megan Fox, Jessica Alba, etc).
