"The good folks at Miramax were very kind about letting us use the script for a movie that was never going to happen once Michelle Gongri and Seth Rogen started working on their Green Hornet movie everyone pretty much knew that would be only Green Hornet movie we were going to see for a while. I mean, all I had to do was write a script a few years ago and say yes in the present day. I said 'Oh man, I guess you could do that! I can't write a new series, but if you wanted to adapt the script that never got made-yeah that could be pretty bad ass.' I had already done that work, so I enjoyed the notion of seeing the project that I had abandoned so many years ago come to quasi-life. Thankfully, it was Nick who brought up the script for the Green Hornet movie that I had written. Like doing a weekly book or reinventing a universe, it was a far bigger task than I could have signed up for without disappointing everybody across the boards. "I was already up to my neck with Gyre, so the notion of writing a Green Hornet comic in addition was not in the cards for me. The same thing with Gyre I think I finished the first six issues of the Widening Gyre script before we announced it or before Walter even started drawing.

"When I started working on Batman: Cacophony with Walter we made sure that we got everything done before they even really announced it. There was a period after Spider-Man/Black Cat where I kind of swore off writing comics by virtue of the fact that I couldn't guarantee a schedule for delivering scripts. "I have a really bad reputation in the comic book community for being delayed-or delaying myself, rather-over and over again on books. Was the acclaimed filmmaker and screenwriter resistant to the idea of adding another comic book project to his schedule? "I wasn't resistant as much as I just didn't know where I would fit it in the schedule," Smith said. This week, superstar writer Kevin Smith speaks with CSN about the project-how it came to be, what he hopes to accomplish, and what readers can expect. Last week, CSN spoke with publisher Nick Barrucci and editor Joseph Rybandt about the debut of their high-profile Green Hornet franchise. So how can the publisher Dynamite, get that interview out where it can be Google-indexed? They turns to Bleeding Cool, naturally, who are happy to oblige… However, CSN don't have an online portal for their content, preferring to remain print only. Last week, they ran an interview with Kevin Smith about GReen Hornet. Comic Shop Insider is a weekly giveaway newsprint magazine on comic books.
