The news that Michel Gondry’s Green Hornet film will be mainlined through our eyeballs and into our delirious brains in glorious 3D and Imax is definitely worth shouting about.

The release has been knocked back a few weeks to 14th January, 2011 in order to give itself some breathing space from other titles. Good call? You betcha! Some dude called Greg Foster – Chairman and El Presidente of Filmed Entertainment seems very excited, saying in the press release:

“We’re excited to welcome Michel Gondry to the list of acclaimed directors who have released films into the IMAX network and we believe his innovative creative vision will play very well in IMAX. This film is ideally suited to our fan-boy audience, and in IMAX 3D, they will be transported into the world of The Green Hornet.”

There were rumours of studio discontent with Gondry and his methods, but the quirky film-maker soon dismissed such idle talk and internet chatter. The Green Hornet stars Seth Rogen and Jay Chao as Britt Reid and his side-roundhouse-kick Kato who team up to do battle with a crime boss played by Christoph Waltz. Cameron Diaz plays the love interest.

Who wants to bet The Green Hornet will be the best film released on 14th January?
