Cameron Diaz to play Kato in GREEN HORNET?!?
Hey folks, Harry here... and I was just fucking with you with the headline - However, Entertainment Weekly is running with the rumor that Cameron Diaz is on the verge of signing on to be the female lead in GREEN HORNET, whatever that means. Villain, damsel in distress, whatever she may be, let's just hope there's some magical swirling ass action. It has been too long since she activated her super power, and swirling it to the 'Flight of the Bumble Bee' would be amazing. I still haven't a clue what this film is going to be like. Gondry. Seth Rogen. Cameron Diaz. Is Chow still involved? If not, I'd love Tony Jaa as Kato. Just saying.

ba-dum! CRASH!
-
i'm cool
-
I just couldn't say f***t
-
it's the earliest post I've ever achieved.
-
But if they were trying to make it a serious superhero film I wouldn't either. It's just a dumb-assed character. I want a HAWK MAN movie! Now THAT would be fuckin' amazing!
-
Hopefully she will be more suited to this role than the one she had in GANGS OF NEW YORK.
-
Love Green Hornet, eager to see how this plays out. BUT WHY HAVEN'T ANY OF THE AICN WRITERS REVIEWED "PUBLIC ENEMIES"? just asking. Peace
-
Far from it. The only problem is that every masked hero since him has aped so many of his angles there is nothing new to bring to the character. <p> No matter what, audiences will look at him as a watered down Batman, despite the fact that he was first and he had a special car and sidekick before Batman ever did.
-
OMFG. DOES ANY FUCKING DOUCHEBAG FIND HER ATTRACTIVE OR EVEN REMOTELY HOT? THERE'S NOT AN OUNCE OF SEX APPEAL THERE, AND HER BODY IS AS FUNKY AS AN 80 YEAR OLD WHORE. <P> OH, NOT TO MENTION THE FACT THAT SHE CAN'T ACT HER WAY OUT OF A FUCKING PAPER BAG. <P> MY GOD. EVERY TIME I LOOK AT HER I IMMEDIATELY WANT TO SUCK COCK. SHE'S THAT FUCKING UGLY.

oooooooooooooooo!

Rogan reminds me of a guy I went to college with...
by ZombieHeathLedger
..but I don't want to see that guy in any movies either. I caught THE MASK on cable the other night, Diaz used to be sooo hot when she was younger. The older she gets the less the whole "I'm so goofy-just one of the guys" schtick works. And the best thing the original GREEN HORNET series ever had going for it was Bruce Lee, what is there to give a shit about in this, yet another, useless unoriginal Hollywood remake? Seth Rogan? Biiittttchhhh pllleeasseeee....
-
Gondry..i love your films ..(most of them)..but WHAT THE FUCK?! I KNOW ONE DAY I will read the headline"green hornet in turnaround" thusly putting another nail into the coffin that is this stupid shit-fest
-
And those types of superhero flicks never turn out well.
-
....you're an idiot.
-
Reminds EVERYONE of someone they went to college with. That's what's so endearing and yet bugs you about him. And I think C-Diaz was only hot in The Mask, back when she had meat on her bones and hunger in her eyes.
-
Yes, please give us Dr. Ken Jeong for Kato!
-
I actually like Cameron Diaz. Her dark comedies are especially good, and she's a good actress in most everything she's in, though sometimes miscast. And if you think about it, we could do muuch worse. Looking forward to it!

Seth Rogen is a capitalist. He is just looking for properties to make him rich. He is not a true performer and does not care about the fans or about the properties he wishes to perform in. No one born in the 80's knows about the green hornet, so they would have no passion about bringing the green hornet to the screen. Rogen = CUNT!
-
Drew Barrymore will play the Green Hornet. McG to direct.
-
More evidence that this movie will suck. I really hate the fact that this movie will leave a huge steaming pile on the Kato legacy Bruce Lee created.
-
She's still making movies?
-
And she ruins everything she touches. Has she been in a good movie since The Mask? Terrible choice casting her in anything.
-
don't get me wrong-I'd bone her rotten! So, fugly-i can't agree with that-But I CAN agree that this shit stink worse than harry's movie reviews!
-
That's news to me... so they're gonna camp this up??? I'd have preferred it be a more dark comedy type thing if they wanted funny, like a superhero James Bond. Anyway Tony Jaa as Kato would be awesome!
-
MY GOD THAT WAS SHITE. PURE UNADULTERATED SHITE. AFTER HER FIRST 3 LINES OF DIALOG I WANTED TO STICK MY HEAD IN A HEAD INTO A TUB OF BOILING PIG FAT.
-
Have Kato played by an animated monkey voiced by Eddie Murphy. This has suckfest written all over it.
-
I STUMPED TITBAG!!!!!!
-
Fuck these two! The Greet Hornet is as good as fucked! Stephen Chow as this film's only hope!
-
She never recaptured her " Mask" hotness. She lost too much weight.
-
What the hell is going on?
-
STUMPY? YOUVE GOT A STUMPY? THAT SUCKS BROHAM. ANYTHING I CAN DO?
-
might be a nightmare, check this one out: http://tinyurl.com/yo3ndz <p> yes i know im horrified as well
-
Or McBride? Or Forte? Geez, this is some high-class crap, the kind only Jack Black usually gets his greasy 'tard mitts on. Guess who's not spending their $$$ seeing this- that's right most of you. Vote with your dollars, this sounds just worthless.
-
So why not a female Kato? The way everyone around here sucks BS dick you'd think they'd be all over it...
-
I kinda hate myself<br> But I think I may have a kink for this

Everyone boycott this film! Send a message to Hollywood!
by Orionsangels
-
That was definitely a WTF moment reading that headline.
-
is meat face rogen still in this?<p> well fuck that shit
-
Someone forgot to tell her she can't act.
-
is a force of nature
-
News on this movie just keeps getting shittier and shittier eh?
-
comeuppance in Very Bad Things. Saw that again recently, and it holds up real well.
-
Forget Diaz, sign the delectable Lucy Liu on instead. I'd buy her as Kato. Or high end vilain's hench-babe.
-
hey we're just honing our blow job skills<p> You knever know when someone gonna pet you and say *nice rabid fan*<p> grrrr bark! bark!
-
Wrong Charlie's Angel fuckheads.
-
everytime there's a mention of it. It has that Bewitched smell about it.
-
and Head Above Water, the hbo movie w/ Harvey Keitel and She's the one. Basically, from '94 to 2000. I'll give her Something about Mary but that was in '98. And I"ll even give her Vanilla Sky. But her personality is dumb and lacks every little maturity and now that shes' like 37 she better change her ways asap!
-
as a kid i was like really into her. too bad she didnt keep that hotness. if she did i wouldve had a crush
-
Devon from SIN CITY, in a non-speaking role ala Silent Bob or Bumblebee. <p> I'm liking the idea of female-Kato more and more. Gotta add some kinda serious sex-appeal to this dork-fest of a film.
-
just kidding i dont give a shit about Green Hornet.
-
Believe it or not, hot chicks grow old too. She was at her physical prime during her ass shaking days. Now, she can't rely on her ass alone. She needs to hone her acting skills. Doing My Sister's Keeper movie was a good move. She knows what's going on and she's doing the right things to keep her career going.
-
Just saying. Your memories are all fake.
-
there's an app for that
-
yeah i was getting a BJ from a great white shark...fucking snaggletooth crippled me manhood!
-
I would suffer through any one of her shit movies just to see her.
-
...finally surpassed Sean Austin as the most annoying dipshit to guest on that show (and yes, I'm counting Ann Coulter too).
-
Fuck off you cunt! All imposters should be banashed to hell. You fucktard.
-
Either give it a serious treatment, or give it a rest. I loved the Williams/Lee HORNET when I was a kid, and don't want to see this property shat upon. Hopefully Sony will pull the plug before this goes before the cameras.
-
Recast someone else as the GH and cast Maggie Q. as Kato. THEN maybe I'll buy a ticket.
-
Yeah, he's Chinese & I'm pretty sure Kato's a Japanese name, but so was Bruce Lee & Jet Li's about as close as you can get to a modern version of him. <p> There's no way Jaa could be Kato. He's great, but a Thai Kato? That's a stretch too far even for Hollywood & its generic Asians.
-
But not in a Green Hornet movie.
-
I'd eat my dinner off Maggie Q.
-
This project is a joke, right? Jesus. Tony Jaa would be cool. But if going for a female Kato, I would love to see that bad ass chick from Thai flick CHOCOLATE make her stateside debut kicking some serious ass. The casting of Maggie Q and Devon Aoki would be too predictable and boring. But I suppose they'd be better than shitty Bai Ling.
-
She used to be so fucking boner inducing when she first came out in the mask. Now she just looks like shit.
-
I love Gondry but unless they come out with an amazingly cool trailer, I won't be seeing this in a theatre.
-
I thought she and Maher had a good chemistry. I was actually surprised at how mature and smart she appeared to be. I found it very refreshing that she said not everyone has the drive to have children, and our society fawns over the very thought of parenthood. She's content with her social situation and is enjoying life. <p> Have all you yahoos forgot that she was in Being John Malkovich? She's a good actress that has been pigeonholed into broad comedy. She's trying to expand beyond that, and I'm looking forward to what she does next. <p> This project, on the other hand, has no appeal to me whatsoever. Who really cares about the Green Hornet? No one. It's got flop written all over it.
-
I feel less inclined to ever bother to see it.<p> Suck.
-
it sucks that i hadnt reached puberty at the time i saw her in The Mask. she was so hot and i didnt know what to do about it.
-
http://tinyurl.com/yo3ndz WOW just WOW

god damn yow hollywood

god damn you hollywood
-
Didn't they already make this movie, except they titled it THE SPIRIT?!? No, seriously, I hope the whole thing is shot green-screen and CGI'd so it looks like comic book colors, then (and I'm keeping my fingers crossed here!), I hope they cast Eva Mendes and maybe those Disney brunette chicks as scantily-clad death babes, and maybe Martin Lawrence as "El Spooko", the Green Hornet's ruthless arch-nemesis whose only weakness is pork chops. And have a part where Lawrence's character shoves a golden plunger up Rogen's ass. You're welcome, Hollywood!
-
I love seeing chicks with zitbeards on the big screen.
-
Go fuck yourself. Zitbeards rule!
-
Besides, I thought Diaz was busy doing Oscar-bait movies where she plays characters with sisters that are dying of cancer.
-
you are a fine example of douchery
-
IS THIS THE LEGACY THAT PEOPLE GETTING PHAT OFF MICHAEL JACKSONS ESTATE WOULD HAVE WANTED FOR US?
-
just her zit beard<p> the rest of her is like 90 or somthing
-
July 8, 2009, 8:17 p.m. CST
if she were 50 so what? you ppl crying "old" are human cancer
by ironic_name
-
well, 50 years ago anyway
-
I was all outraged over them hiring a Hispanic Kato for a second. Phew! Yeah she's a funny and talented girl so that's cool. But maybe they should have gotten someone in Seth Rogen's league. If you get my meaning.
-
that would be like that paste you use in grade school. right?
-

-
Any girl who's willing to blow Jim Carrey to get a part in a movie deserves props in my book.
-
Not a bad choice for the role; she'll be a Girl Friday to Britt Reid.
-
fuck I am sick of seeing that girl already.
-
Welcome back.
-
As a female Kato. I don't dislike Rogen. But he doesn't need to be in everything. At this point this movie would be better off with Channing Tatum in the lead. The whole project is fucked.
-
Diaz is not even 37 yet. <p> <p> Say what you will though, if you ever got a chance to meet her, you'd cream your pants before saying hello. =) <p> <p> And the thing about her ass.... She's never had much of one. She just knows how to shake it and display it. I think that she looked her hottest in Charlie's Angels 2. She was hot in the Mask, but she still kinda had this baby fat look to her - being 21yrs old and all.<p> <p> As far as this movie goes, I think that 90% or more of the movie going audience won't have an idea who the hell the Green Hornet is. Really. I was born in 1974 and only vaguely remember the Bruce Lee Kato cameos from the 1960s Batman TV show. <p> <p> The property is something like 70+ years old when you include the radio show. The average 18-35 moviegoer is just way too young to actually remember the Green Hornet.<p> <p> Hollywood can pretty much do anything with the property at this point and only a hardcore few will care. It's not Superman we're talking about, whose presence in the public eye has been constant since the 1940s. Green Hornet is one of those things from a generation long ago, way before any of us here were born.<p> <p> Personally, as comedies go, I'd actually like to see the Brown Hornet. (You 2 Fat Albert fans here will get that one. =) )
-
Don't worry. Hollywood will suck his career dry and rape his soul just like they've done to Will Ferrell, Jim Carrey, Adam Sandler, Jimmy Fallon, Tom Hanks, and just about every other "flavor of the month" comedian. <p> <p> Let him enjoy his 15 minutes of fame. It's only a matter of time before nobody finds him funny and he resorts to drama and/or starts begging for change on the freeway.
-
Make sure it's worth our time. Unfortunately, it is NOT worth it.
-
If she or her agent reads this msg brd, they'll die. <P> Ha ha ha ha.

You're probably right that she'll play Lenore. Can't think who'd they cast as Axford and Gunnigan though.
-
Abort this Career Killing Decision. <p> holy fuck-beyond the other idiots in the motion picture-Your Goose is cooked if you lend your name to this piece of Ka-Ka. <p> The Mind Boggles...
-
Dude needs to take a breather <p> Or a cyanide pill <p> Fuck
-
He should be in this and he should be directing this.
-
Just joking. Get a thick skin. Don't take any crap from me. <P> It's not a bad piece of work, but it's not going to win any awards. <P> Acting? Uh uh. They've got to forget there's a camera on them. <P> Dialogue? Too mundane, as somebody else indicated. Half as much but twice as punchy. <P> Maybe some recutting would help. Yeah, I know you want that suggestion. <P> Make the hand-washing shorter and put more emphasis on Genevieve saying, "It's showtime," or whatever she says. Maybe tilt up for some contrast between blood going down the drain and her kissing her image. <P> When Neil is lying to his wife, a little more irony might be good. Cut in some bars and hookers from his POV during his phone chat. <P> The shot where Neil rolls out of the car needs more set-up, IMHO. Maybe a shot/reverse shot of the two of them in the car with some sudden realization hitting Neil just before the blade. <P> Just suggesting. Good luck. You'll be the next Cronenberg while the rest of us at this brain trust will still be yackbacking.
-
Makes more sense
-
The lumplike Rogen, a Kato played by a cougar - pure comedy gold! Thank God it's one of the lesser superhero stories. I'm sure they're hoping for a reprise of "Iron Man;" what they're going to get is subpar-"Watchmen" (if there is such a thing). Bleh.
-
No deal this already looks shitty and I think they aren't even fully done with the script yet.
-
there's almost 5 maybe 6 movies he ain't gonna be in this year<p> Have him show up<br> He could say motherfucker or something
-
You actually terrified me into exclaiming, "WHAT?" at my screen. But as long as that Diaz-as-Kato nightmare is behind us, she's cool. Love to see her again.
-
that's all
-
Aside from the 2 people who maybe remember hearing about it?
-
A modern Bruce Lee-less remake of The Green Hornet starring Seth Rogen and Cameron Diaz. Do I need to say more, or have you read between the lines yet? Ol' Smeg won't be paying to see it, let's put it that way. Asteroids The Movie is starting to sound better. Who would have thought..?
-
Seth Rogens mom and agent aparantly
-
Way to coddle the hack. This is how Mike Bay got started, FYI... I hope you're happy with yourself!
-
sign him now! Chow is lame. And replace Rogen too.
-
He may be a cool, badass Thai, but he doesn't look like any Kato.<p> It's like hiring a Bolivian to play Thor.
-
BLAH BLAH WHINEY CUNT BLAH!
-
I'm intrigued!
-
It's the fucking Green Hornet! No one cares! Who's idea is this? It's a dopey Spirit rip-off in a green mask with a side of Kung Fu fuck stain. Don't just stand there, ToGo, get me some fucking Moo Gai Pan! I can't fight crime now, I'm hungry! I can probably fight crime after I eat that foul dog slop you people make, but only for a little while; I'll probably be hungry again in half an hour, so come to think of it, make it a double order! And bring your sister back with you. I need my dick sucked. Two dollah! Speaking of magical swirling ass action, have you ever considered Carmen Diaz's asshole? I mean, really thought about it? I know, it's probably squeezed out 6 thousand turds by now, but would you lick it? Do you think Justin licked it? I'd lick it. God, I miss Michael. We are the world. I'm sorry, I'm grieving.
-
And by every indication a goofball,p> With a really nice hiney<p> This movie should not be made
-
For fuck's sake!
-
...can't act her way out of a brown paper bag. She's also lost her looks that made her almost tasty in There's Something About Mary. Sad. But hey - Seth Rogen's a good fit for her.
-
As soon as the guy stops kneeing people and jumping through glass I get bored.
-
The only thing it has going for it is that other than old geeks like Harry, there's almost no public awareness of the character, so they can pretty much do what they want to it, or 'deconstruct' it - or as I like to say, 'piss all over it'. Gondry? Jesus...I know he's clever and all, but I just can't fucking stand his films. Too cute by half.
-
Chow plays Kato. The dude is perfect for the role. Since Shaolin Soccer and Kung Fu Hustle, I can't imagine anyone else playing him. Even Jaa. Especially if there is a comdedic element which it sounds like they're shooting for with Rogen as the Hornet.
-
Just sayin'.
-
YOU DOUCHEBAGS NEED A SERIOUS STANDARDS CHECK. SHE'S ALWAYS LOOKED LIKE A MAN IN DRAG. WITH THAT HORRIFYING JOKER TYPE MOUTH OF HERS. YIKES IT'S A TRAINWRECK.
-
Daiz stuffed her bra in The Mask. Why??? Cuz she ain't hot
-
After this movie is made there will be a remake, reboot, or redone. The way this is sounding it is going to be a huge train wreck. I will pass.
-
or a fist.</p><p>Not the hottest girl in Hollywood...but Yes..I'd fuck her...and so would you.
-
But looks wise she has hit the wall.
-
Before Seth. She's more masculine.
-
The Coke Cola Fun Facts page before the movies saying: Cameron Diaz was cast in The Mask without any acting experience.
-
Seriously, the reason she was so hot way back in THE MASK is that we didn't hear what an annoying sound her laugh is!
-
straight action film...but obviously not w/Seth Rogen in the lead. If they want to make it an action-comedy, then Rogen should play Britt Reid's stoner nephew who accidentally stumbles upon his uncle's Green Hornet gear & w/Kato's help-played by Jackie Chan- he decides to give crime fighting a try for himself. Again not my preferred way, but w/this cast & a 1930s-era character, probably the only way to get asses in seats today.
-
This is like them ounting a ROCKY and BULLWINKLE reboot.I could care less. And when is GONDRY going to make another ETERNAL SUNSHINE-man, he showed SOOO much potential for making drams and odd lil movies.I cant see him making a studio film as stupid as this!
-
...if they did, for the love of god, PLEASE cast an Asian woman! Hollywood really knows how to screw properties up....I know the headline was a joke, but it honestly wouldn't have surprised me if it were true.... If there was a girl Kato, though, what about Gianna Jun? In her U.S. film debut?
-
He was fantasic in Ip Man! 'nuff said...
-
I was so excited to see this when i heard Stephan Chow was in it and directing, now my interest has severely plummeted.
-
She has a frog face and sucks as an actress. I haven't seen one thing I've ever liked her in.
