The Accountant director is rebooting The Green Hornet

It might not take the same route as in 2011, though.

The cult classic vigilante Green Hornet is getting another chance on the big screen it seems. While Michel Gondry and Seth Rogen's 2011 superhero comedy didn't quite connect with audiences and critics, director Gavin O'Connor, who directed The Accountant, plans on taking the character in a completely different direction.

O'Connor told told Deadline about the decision: "I've been wanting to make this movie, and create this franchise, since I've wanted to make movies. As a kid, when most of my friends were into Superman and Batman, there was only one superhero who held my interest, The Green Hornet. I always thought he was the baddest badass because he had no superpowers. The Green Hornet was a human superhero. And he didn't wear a clown costume. And he was a criminal, in the eyes of the law, and in the eyes of the criminal world. So all this felt real to me. Imagine climbing to the top of the Himalayas, or Mount Everest, or K2 over and over again and no one ever knew? You can never tell anybody. That's the life of Britt and Kato. What they do, they can never say. They don't take credit for anything."
