Taiwanese pop star Jay Chou is going to make his Hollywood debut in The Green Hornet.
Chou has been cast as Kato, the main character’s sidekick, previously played by the legendary Bruce Lee in the original drama in the 60s.
Hong Kong actor Stephen Chow was previously cast but he pulled out of the production; Korean actor Kwon Sang-woo was once tipped as hot favorite to take the role, but it’s Chou that was chosen.
The movie is scheduled for summer 2009 release; the filming should start pretty soon.
Taiwanese pop star Jay Chou has finally crowned as the best male singer at the Golden Melody Awards on Saturday.
The 30-year-old singer has won almost every possible award (composer, album/song of the year etc.), but needed to wait for 10 years to land the best singer award.
Jay Chou also won the song of the year award with Fragrance of Rice and best music video with Mr Magic. Congrats.
