No other film (with the possible exception of Transformers) has left me with a sense of trepidation and dread as this Air Bud-looking live-action remake of the beloved cartoon. No rhyme nor Shoeshine Boy here, though I must applaud the casting of Peter Dinklage as Simon Barsinister. Jim Belushi, Alex Neuberger, Brad Garrett, Amy Adams, and Jason Lee as the voice of Underdog also star. Check out the official site. We will find out if there is a need to fear when Underdog crash lands in theaters on Friday. Larger trailer available in the Full Diagnosis.

In case you haven’t heard, the WTF news item of the week was Seth Rogen has been given the opportunity to write and star in The Green Hornet which has long languished in various stages of development hell. Although I don’t mind Rogen trying his hand at the script (many writers including Edward Neumeier and Kevin Smith have tried with, so far, no success) but I do wonder at casting him in the role of pretty boy action hero Britt Reid/The Green Hornet when both George Clooney and Jake Gyllenhaal have shown interest (Clooney seems like perfect casting to me). Jet Li has long been loosely tied to the project for the role of Kato. You’ll know more when we do!
