Hector, you stole my post. I would love to see Jaa make his american debut in a part like this. it would be a great way for him to be introduced to the mainstream.

I like John Cho...he's really a funny dude...but he ain't no martial artist.

Exactly. He is no more of a martial artist as Rogen is a super hero.

[The Bat]

Okay, guys.... let's take a deep breath and hope for the best... he's not my first choice, but everyone doubted Michael Keaton for Batman (he did OK)

Not a good example....Keaton was a HORRIBLE Batman.

Yep...Dont want to mention it without permission though. If he can get everything going that I heard he wants to do though, it will be pretty cool.

Sadly, rumor has it this is the plot for the film. It's a comedy where GH gets all the press (even though he is considered a criminal) and Kato does all the work....and Kato aint liking it.

Hasbro locked up the toy rights when the Clooney version was shopped around a couple of years ago...bet they are real impressed with what they have to work with now!

There is a guy setting up a one man Green Hornet touring show thats planning to hit the convention circuit next year. Cant say what he all has planned, but I think it will do more justice to the legacy of the character than this potential mess.

do you know the guys name setting up the green hornet touring show?

What exactly does he need a physical trainer for? Green Hornet usually just sits back and lets Kato do all the work, and its not like he wore form fitting spandex either.

sorry to say, but physical training is not going to do much to make people believe he's the green hornet.

I hear what you're saying, but Michael Keaton worked out to play Batman back in 1989, and he ended up in a rubber suit with molded muscles.

Maybe the Green Hornet and Kato will both be wearing bullet-proof armored Kevlar trench coats to face off against "realistic" hoods armed with guns.

i think they're looking at stephen chow for kato

Stephen Chow (I)

I like Andy On for Kato.

If I were in charge of casting for the role of Kato...my clear number one choice would be the amazing Tony Jaa:

I would've loved a younger Jet Li...but he's too old now.

So who's gonna be Kato...Jackie Chan???

You know Hector, you laugh, but I bet some suit would be like hell yeah that would so work. My bet would be John Cho from the Harold and Kumar movies.
