When it was announced back in April that Sony would be converting Michel Gondry's The Green Hornet into 3D, the general consensus was that Sony had lost faith in the project and were using the "conversion time" to push the release date into the worst movie month of them all - January. But while faith may be low, the film is still a $90 million production and an action flick based on a hot property. So what happens to all movies like that these days? They get the IMAX treatment.

Sony has announced via press release that The Green Hornet will be released in IMAX theaters come January 14th, 2011. The film will now be shown in three formats including IMAX 3D, standard 3D and 2D. The film is currently in post-production and the first trailer is set to premiere when Seth Rogen visits Jimmy Kimmel Live on Monday June 21. Until then, cross your fingers and pray that this isn't as bad as The Spirit.
