Stephen Chow burst forth a wave of rumours when he walked away from directing Green Hornet and finally now we get to find out why. And that “why” would be a superhero comedy with Jack Black, and looks like Anne Hathaway will be adding her brilliant smile to the mix.
/Film picked up:
Anne Hathaway is likely to star in Stephen Chow’s next movie. When Chow bowed out of directing The Green Hornet, he said that he would like to free some time up to work with Jack Black on a different superhero comedy? Well this is it.
Wei Dasen, a representative of Chow’s production company describes the film as “a superhero, action-packed, special effects-rich, and of course funny” . Sources close to Chow supposedly are saying that the film will be similar in style to the over-the-top parody ala “Kung Fu Hustle”.
I really like Anne Hathaway, and I think she does well with comedy while still being believable.
I think Jack Black is perfect for a zany comedy like Chow can deliver, and it is the only likely way we will see Jack Black as a superhero and care (Thank you for not being Green Lantern!!) Hearing Anne Hathaway is involved does increase my interest just to see how well she would play off these two.
This is certainly on my radar.
