Gondry Plans Time-Warp Fights for Green Hornet

Innovative director Michel Gondry plans to employ a new filmmaking technique to make the fight scenes in The Green Hornet visually distinctive. "I change the speed of the camera at different spots in the image at different times," Gondry told MTV's Splash Page, describing a fight-scene demo he prepared for Seth Rogen's upcoming comic book movie. "So, it seems like they're in the same world but at different times, and then they're back together." According to Splash Page: Although it's a little tricky to comprehend with the written word, Gondry basically plans to reinvent the fight scene by having Green Hornet moving slowly, Kato moving super-fast, the villains at normal speed — and then mixing it all up repeatedly. "So, one will go fast and the other will go slow, and then they'll meet," he explained. "It's [as if] they're in different dimensions, but when they touch each other they come into the same dimension." Gondry directed Be Kind Rewind and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. His adaptation of The Green Hornet, which will star Observe and Report's Rogen, is slated for release in 2010.
