"As far as I'm concerned," says producer Neal H. Moritz, "the Black Beauty is the third of the threesome. She is the superhero of the movie."
Just like the rest of the characters in The Green Hornet, the Black Beauty had to be cast. In the casting process, several cars auditioned, and the filmmakers were not sentimental during the process.
"We really looked at making a lot of different cars," Moritz goes on. "We had different manufacturers who wanted to build a new Black Beauty, and we considered many different cars."
