The New Kato Is No Stephen Chow

I just ran three straight articles of incredible awesomeness, and I was getting afraid I was going to break something — either the site or my medulla oblongata — so here’s news that is definitely not awesome: The Kato of the new Green Hornet movie will be played by Taiwanese pop star Jay Chou.

It’s not the worst news in the world, but given the fact that the project started with Stephen Chow as director and Kato, you have to admit this is a significant step down. Chau might be fine — like almost all Asian pop stars, he’s done a fair amount of acting, and I did use the goofiest picture I could find for him. In all honesty, I’m so “meh” about the whole project (Seth Rogen and Michel Gonry notwithstanding) that I can’t get worked up about Chau either way. But this serves as a nice alate cleanser, because I have more awesomeness coming up next. (Via /Film)
