    Rogen Wants Stephen Chow for Kato

    [​IMG]

    We broke the news yesterday that "Knocked Up" star Seth Rogen has been tapped by Sony to write and likely star in "Green Hornet." Rogen actually pitched the remake to Sony who liked his comedic take. Execs in Culver City hope Rogen can reinvent the recently dark and moody superhero adaptations, according to sources.

    Today we hear that Seth Rogen's first choice to play Kato, Green Hornet's masked and martial arts-enabled sidekick, is none other than "Kung Fu Hustle" director and star Stephen Chow (pictured). Now that's a comedic take! Whether or not Chow's dance card is clear is another issue.

    Hmm I don't think Stephen Chow would do it. He probably wants to get paid handsomely too.
