Green Hornet Trailer:

Sony’s national marketing campaign continues to find new avenues for increasing awareness and anticipation of the movie’s January debut. Starting November 29th, for example, Carl's Jr. and Hardee's will be launching a national campaign promoting the Green Hornet, which will include TV spots running 15, 30, and 60 seconds and featuring Rogen, Chou, and the Black Beauty.

Though various incarnations sometimes change details, in most incarnations the Green Hornet is Britt Reid, a newspaper publisher by day who by night goes out in his masked "Green Hornet" identity to fight crime as a vigilante, accompanied by his similarly masked Asian manservant Kato and driving a technologically advanced car, Black Beauty. Want to know the backstory of the big screen’s version of this hero? The need-to-know characters and plot points are outlined in Sony’s visual (motion comic) synopsis.

It's official. After rumors that began weeks before the first episode of AMC's The Walking Dead debuted, the cable network has at last officially announced that the show has been picked up for a second season that will consist of 13 episodes.

This news come after last week's 90-minute, Halloween premiere of the show's first episode, "Days Gone Bye," captured 5.3 million viewers. Encore airings brought in another 2.8 million viewers, bringing the overall ratings number to 8.1 million. That impressive tally not only made this AMC's most-watched TV series debut, but also set the record for the largest audience for a series premiere on any basic cable network in 2010. The second episode, "Guts," aired in the same 10 p.m. ET time slot and had an estimated 4.7 million viewers tuning back in to follow the series.

“The ‘Dead’ has spread!” said Charlie Collier, President, AMC.  “No other cable series has ever attracted as many Adults 18-49 as ‘The Walking Dead.’  This reaffirms viewers’ hunger for premium television on basic cable.  We are so proud to be bringing back ‘The Walking Dead’ again, across the globe.”

"Keeping a series like this going year after year is all about creating good jumping-on-points for new readers," says Kirkman. "And what better way to jump on than with the very first issue? Making this series available in single issue form will make it easier for new fans to jump on board and for old fans to fill in any gaps in their collection."

Extras from the first and second episodes are currently available at AMC's The Walking Dead blog, and the third episode, "Tell It to the Frogs," is scheduled to air on Sunday, November 14, at 10:00 p.m. EST.
