New poster for The Green Hornet

I have little to no faith in The Green Hornet being any good. Call me a stick in the mud, but Seth Rogen featured in an overly comedic take on the hard boiled crime fighting hero just doesn't do much for me at all. The trailer from a couple months ago didn't instill me with much confidence, either. You've got one of the most imaginative directors working today in Michel Gondry(Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind), and it still looks generic. Not a good sign. 

Anyway, a new poster for the film has been released and I like this one much better than the other ones we've seen. Maybe it's the overhead angle and the darker tone giving the impression that this will be a more serious film than it actually will be. Or maybe it's just how cool the Green Hornet logo looks in the emerald headlights.

The Green Hornet stars Seth Rogen, Jay Chou, Cameron Diaz, Christoph Waltz, and Tom Wilkinson. It's due to hit theaters on January 14th, 2011.
