sounds like they're trying to turn it into a typical Rogen film

Then I will not see this.

A NON-MARTIAL ARTIST AS KATO? RIGHHHHHHHHHHHT..... IF IT JUST GOING TO BE A STRAIGHT COMEDY/ACTION, BOBBY LEE FROM MAD TV SHOULD BE KATO.... ROGEN/LEE=FUNNY+MICHAEL BAY EXPLOSIVES......HAHAHA!

I just lost alot of respect for Seth Rogen.

I will probably rent this when it comes out

Hmmm no Stephen Chow or asians with martial arts experience?Already looks bunz...

What a let down. Once comic film just start to head in the right direction this one may let us down. Kato is what makes Green hornet different. It is bad enough that seth is Hornet.

Kind of like Depp being tonto

I don't think I'm going to see it now.

I agree with you 100% Babs.  I mean, the TV show may have been slightly cheesy and all but at least it had action, adventure, and Martial Arts by the legendary Bruce Lee.  The fact no Martial Arts are required and the fact Mr. Chow bowed out (wisely) stinks.

I was initially disappointed to learn Rogen  was involved now my disappointment has been increased exponentially.  How is it even remotely possible to screw up the Green Hornet?  Seriously? 

It's a known fact Rogen is an admitted dope smoker.  Looks like all that weed has clouded his judgment.  Granted some humor in a Green Hornet movie will be nice but seriously, to camp it up and make it a possible stoner type comedy really blows chunks.  Major frikkin' chunks.  Let's all disrespect Bruce Lee some more.   Mr. Chow did the right thing too bad he won't be involved. 

Rogan is a funny dude but I wasn't too keen on the idea of him as Green Hornet in the first place. Stephen Chow as Kato would have been the full redeeming factor but without Chow, this movie will probably be garbage. I'd actually like to see Chow take full command of a Green Hornet movie. I think he could do a far better job than Rogan.

They might as well get Rob Snyder to play Kato then this movie will be real a real joke. Stephen Chow can do way better movies then this anyway.

I never really expected Chow to play this role in the first place, He's big on only playing and or directing somthing that he's orginaly written. This movie is going to suck, I'll catch it on hbo or showtime at 3 in the morning one day I'm sure.

Lame. I lost some interest now.

"[which] no longer require[s] any martial arts experience" - This right here should tell Seth to just stop trying to make this film work. As soon as I heard that he was gonna be behind the production of the movie &  STAR!! as the Green Hornet. I knew this film was gonna be a disaster right from the getgo.

As much as I love Adam West's Batman show, I always thought the Green Hornet show was far more superior then Batman's show. Maybe cause it didn't have that campiness like West's show. Sucks the show was only on for 1 season.

I wish those guys who did that fan film I posted do the Green Hornet movie & not Rogen lol

first off seth rogen isnt the casting agent. second off, if that ad is true (which i doubt) no martial arts experience would probably mean theyve already got a double for action scenes. third stephen chow dropped out months ago. i dont want to say anything bad until i see footage because as far as i know seth rogen loves the green hornet and is very serious and committed to the role. its not easy to drop 50 lbs.

yeah i wasn't gonna see this before, now I'm just flat out not even going to rent this.

Having Seth Rogen direct a film is bad enough.  The idea that  "a non-specific Asian, [which] no longer require[s] any martial arts experience." would even be considered for the role of Kato is mind numbing.  Seth Rogen should stick with comedy and stay away from the Green Hornet and Kato where it is obvious that he has no clue what he is doing.  Yet another example of a director not paying attention to the source material.

NO! WHY'D STEPHEN CHOW DROP THIS?!

I'll probably go see it, just because.... so long as I don't have to pay for it of course.

Are you kidding me?!
"a non-specific Asian, [which] no longer require[s] any martial arts experience."
WTH!

At least in the beginning Stephen gave it some potential, but now this doesn't even sound like a rental to me!

Movies gonna suck now. Just wait for it to hit HBO

bad choice

You guy's all act like you know Seth Rogan he's a big fan of hornet and could do a good job and your all writing it off before there's even any footage. People could be this judgemental about us and be like why do all these comic fans know anything about movies, or TV shows for that matter. He has always done comedy but i think he could still do a good job with it.

That sucks!

I have little faith in a Seth Rogen Green Hornet movie. Hopefully this dies and joins that horrible rumor that Jack Black wanted to make a comedic Green Lantern movie.

FYI Stephen Chow dropped as the film director a month ago, but he was still set to play Kato until yesterday. "
