Over the summer, it was announced that the “Kung Fu Hustle” star/director, Stephen Chow, would be directing and co-starring along side Seth Rogen in the upcoming ‘Green Hornet’ film. However, Variety has the scoop that Columbia Pictures has dropped Chow as director in order to keep the film on schedule for a summer 2010 release.
According to Variety, Chow got up from the director’s chair due to creative differences. A new director will likely be brought on before the new year, but Chow will still be playing Kato in the film. [Variety]
