It wasn't that tough to see this one coming. After word hit that Kung Fu Hustle helmer Stephen Chow would not be directing The Green Hornet after all, assurances that he would still costar as the titular hero's sidekick Kato seemed dubious.
Turns out they were.
Spoiler TV has tracked down a casting call for the Kato role which would seem to be legit, and which would seem to indicate that Chow is out!
Here it is:
"[KATO] ALL ASIAN ETHNICITIES, Male, 20's - early 40's. Brit Reid's manservant/chauffeur by day and Green Hornet's martial arts-skilled sidekick by night sptv050769. Actor doesn't have to have Martial Arts experience"
Michel Gondry is still set to direct, and Seth Rogen will star -- assuming this film ever actually gets made.
