Stephen Chow is in the Green Hornet
He isn’t a “new celebrity” technically… because Stephen Chow is such a big name in Asia. And although some of his movies have unexpectedly made a bigger impact in the Western market, the actor has yet to try doing Hollywood movies and become a household name like his other Asian counterparts (Jet Lee and Jacky Chan) who are doing very well in Hollywood.
Reports say, Columbia Pictures has chosen Stephen Chow to join the remake of The Green Hornet. This would have to be his American debut, should negotiations do well. The Asian superstar is said to reprising the role of Kato, one that made the legendary Bruce Lee famous.
He is also said to be directing the film.
The Green Hornet will star Seth Rogen as the newspaper publisher slash crime-fighter.
Of this Hollywood role, Chow has this to say “The idea of stepping into Bruce Lee’s shoes as Kato is both humbling and thrilling, and to get the chance to direct the project as my American movie debut is simply a dream come true.”
