Kwon Sang Woo’s Green Hornet Dream Crushed By Jay Chou

[shadowfax.livejournal.com]

Kwon Sang Woo will not be portraying The Green Hornet's sidekick, Kato. Jay Chou beat him to it.



When Hong Kong star Stephen Chow dropped out of Michel Gondry’s The Green Hornet, the race was on to find a new Kato. Hallyu heartthrob Kwon Sang Woo (33) was one of the Asian stars vying for the plump role.

However, the new father’s Hollywood dream is crushed with the announcement that Taiwanese star Jay Chou has landed the role of Kato.

Chou (30), who is a talented actor and musician, will be joining Seth Rogen, Cameron Diaz and Nicolas Cage for the production.

Kato was famously portrayed by Bruce Lee in the original television series.

WHY IS SETH ROGEN IN EVERYTHING?

...gah, I find him so overrated. And I swear he is in, like, 400 movies each year. The only movie of his I liked was Pineapple Express and that's because James Franco not him stole the show.

I rather have him than Jonah Hill. I wish they would stop trying to make him happen.

Karma for being a douche.

[xcherryblossomx.livejournal.com]

Maybe they casted a douche for the part...

[thenylonkid.livejournal.com]

[bokchil.livejournal.com]

[krispy-bacon.livejournal.com]

[ladypurr.livejournal.com]

THIS. COMPLETELY.

[thrift.livejournal.com]

oh, comedy goldddd. uhh i mean, i love you, jay.

[foolish.livejournal.com]

Well...this should be interesting. I love Jay, I think he's a brilliant songwriter/composer/musical artist, but boy can't act. :(

[jorge-callas.livejournal.com]

Yeah, totally. He seems to only be interested in money now.... it's such a pity. Recording slapdash songs into an album in a month and focussing on acting in and directing some of the worst movies on the planet. I miss Common Jasmine Orange and Hair Like Snow and Nocturne. I mean, WTF, Cowboy on the Run and Snake Dance???!!!

[hp-groupie.livejournal.com]

I'm still mad they didn't want to cast a Black man for the Green Hornet.

: /

Give us ONE Hollywood...just ONE.

[dominique-franc.livejournal.com]

I know its like lets mix up the lead roles please

[honeyfunnybunny.livejournal.com]

I love Jay Chou, as an artist.

[0ne0ishiivie.livejournal.com]

I love me some Jay Chou, but.....NO.

[kokorabbit5.livejournal.com]

I like some of his music, but. DNW. Really. :I

Also gasdfsdgsdg PLZ NO MOAR SETH ROGEN.

[dominique-franc.livejournal.com]

Seth Rogen? Cameron Diaz?

prepare for this movie to fail and unnecessary lulz

[chloe1910.livejournal.com]

Some of his music is nice and he's actually very musically gifted but tbh, he can't really act. I've seen many of his movies and he's still rather stiff in his acting. Let's hope his acting skill has improved.

Chou (30), who is a talented actor and musician, will be joining Seth Rogen, Cameron Diaz and Nicolas Cage for the production.

That entire first part of the sentence, up to the second comma, is just entirely LULZY FAIL. I feel sorry for the rest of the cast to have to work with such an amateur actor.

[onerainysunday.livejournal.com]

srsly. talented actor my ass.

[x-keynotes.livejournal.com]

...ARE YOU F-ING SERIOUS. I seriously hate Jay Chou and this has intensified that hate by like 100000000000000x. :|
