Seth Rogen has revealed that there will be no tie-in game to accompany his upcoming superhero film The Green Hornet.
Speaking to Entertainment Weekly, the actor claimed that copyright issues prevented a game based on the character from being greenlit.
"It’s something we wanted to do with The Green Hornet but the rights were tied up in a complicated way and we weren’t able to get it off the ground in time," said Rogen.
"We were even talking about how fun it would be to do a videogame when we were working on Pineapple Express.
"For me, it’s cool with movies because what those Matrix games showed is that it can actually be part of the narrative and fill in some of the gaps. It can be an interactive accoutrement to the story, you know? And that concept really blew my mind when those guys did that. It really blew my mind."
The Green Hornet opens in cinemas on June 25, 2010.
