We found out a few weeks back that Stephen Chow would not be directing the Green Hornet movie, as previously announced, but he would still star as Kato. Turns out, however, that he might not actually have time to play Kato either.
Chow recently said that he wants to free up time to work with Jack Black on a comedy about a superhero: Stephen Chow Might Not be Kato Either? He wants to make a superhero comedy based on an original idea sooner than later, while the timing is right.
Whether he stays on to play Kato in The Green Hornet apparently depends on his schedule. I really really really hope he finds time to play Kato. In my mind, for this project, there is no one more perfect for the role. We shall see.
