Jay Chou as Kato?

SuperHeroHype has pictures of Taiwanese singer/actor Jay Chou as Kato in "The Green Hornet" movie.

I was ecstatic for this movie back when Stephen Chow ("Shaolin Soccer," "Kung Fu Hustle") was attached to star and direct the film. Chow is amazing playing a lovable jerk and I could see the potential chemistry between him and Seth Rogan — who's playing the title character.

But I don't know about Chou. First and foremost, he's a singer, not an action star. And his acting resume is pretty light — starring roles in "Curse of the Golden Flower" and the incredibly underwhelming "Initial D" come to mind.

Personally I'm disappointed the producers decided against going with an American actor of Asian descent for an overseas Asian actor. Why pay more for an established actor overseas who has had limited visibility in the states instead of possibly finding a hidden gem here.

Trailer for 'Boondock Saints II: All Saints Day'


Oh, yes. The brothers are back.

After achieving cult status over the past decade, the long-awaited sequel of "Boondock Saints" is finally coming — surely filled with more gratuitous violence.

And from the looks of it, Rocco is back.

Leaked 'Kick-Ass' clips

One of my favorite comic reads, "Kick-Ass," is being turned into a movie. Clips from the film were shown at Comic-Con in San Diego earlier this year — and with the age of the Internet, they were leaked.

The story's about a high school comic book geek named Dave Lizewski, who decides to don a mask and costume and become a real-life hero. It's funny, brilliant and oh-so gory. Just wish Mark Millar (who also wrote "Wanted" and "The Ultimates") would finish his books. "Kick-Ass" No. 7 keeps getting delayed and it's annoying.
