Seth Rogen has admitted that he was relieved when The Green Hornet was pushed back five months.
Previously penciled in to be released on July 7th next summer but the film, which will also star Nicolas Cage, will no roll into cinemas in December.
Speaking to Hit Fix the actor said: We're [Rogen and director Michel Gondry] both relieved and psyched about the change. It gives more time for post, which would have been immensely rushed if we were to come out in the summer.
He added: "It also affords us more time to promote the film (now we can go to Comic-Con with more than a car!) and ultimately is a great vote of confidence from the studio.
"We got the same date that movies like I Am Legend and Avatar are getting, so we're thrilled to be there."
Seth Rogen has long since been linked to the project and he will take on the lead role. The film is an adaptation of the hit TV series that ran until 1952.
Rogen takes on the role of a millionaire playboy who becomes a masked vigilante who tackles the crime in the city with his sidekick Kato.
