Nick Cage Will Not Menace THE GREEN HORNET!!
The Hollywood Reporter says Nicolas Cage has decided not to take the villain role opposite Seth Rogen in “The Green Hornet.”
The Michel Gondry-helmed adventure, which began shooting last week, is now on the lookout for a new actor Rogen can beat on.
Knowing nothing of the Hornet’s nemesis, have we any clue who would make a worthwhile substitute? Christoph Waltz? Jonah Hill? What’s Terrence Stamp doing at the moment?
Maybe Rogen will rope in one of the “Freaks and Geeks” co-stars he hasn’t yet worked with on the big screen, like “Inglourious Basterds” vet Samm Levine or “Bones” player John Francis Daley. Maybe not!
