LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - It's a role that introduced U.S. audiences to Bruce
Lee, and now Taiwanese singer and actor Jay Chou will play martial arts master
Kato in an upcoming movie version of "The Green Hornet," a studio said on
Friday.
Kato is the sidekick to the Green Hornet, a vigilante crime fighter played by
comedian Seth Rogen in the upcoming movie from Columbia Pictures, slated for
a summer 2010 release.
\"It's an overwhelming experience to take on a role made famous by Bruce Lee,"
Chou said in a statement.
"I won't try to be Bruce Lee's Kato -- I will try to bring my own
interpretation to the part," he said.
Born in Taiwan, Chou is a popular singer in Asia who shot to fame with his
2000 album "Jay." He plays piano and cello, and blends American and Asian music
styles.
He has also starred in a number Chinese films, including last year's "Kung Fu
Dunk" about a martial arts expert who takes to basketball and flies to the
hoop.
Rogen, star of "Pineapple Express" and "Funny People," has co-written the
script for "The Green Hornet" and he has said the movie stays true to the
1966-67 television series, in which the title character masked his crime
fighting behind a public identity as a newspaper publisher.
The late Bruce Lee played the Green Hornet's sidekick Kato in the TV series,
helping to popularize martial arts in the U.S. and launching his legendary
movie career.
