Jay Chou as Kato in the new Green Hornet film

Could you see it?

The Green Hornet was a TV show in the 70's. He was a crime-fighter who had a sidekick named Kato, notably known as Bruce Lee's first major American role. You could probably compare them to Batman and Robin in a strange sort of way.

Jay Chou is a Taiwanese pop-star who has recently been cast as the role of Kato for the film adaptation starring Seth Rogen. I wonder how Chou will hold up playing a role Bruce Lee used to play...Is he badass enough? He is a huge star overseas, but this role may be ground-breaking for the second time by exposing Chou to American audiences. I wouldn't necessarily count this announcement as one "set in stone" since the likes of Stephen Chow and many others have also been rumored to be casted at one time or another.

Rogen and Chou? m00g00.
