Kato Bailin?

Last week news that Stephen Chow would no longer direct the The Green Hornet flick,

Now comes word he may no longer act in it either.

Chow would have played Hornet's sidekick Kato.

"If I direct 'The Green Hornet,' the superhero comedy will have to be delayed for two years. The timing might not be right for a superhero comedy in two years. And I want to make a movie based on an original idea" Chow told The Associated Press.

Chow adds that he may not have time to star as Kato, wanting to free up time to work with Jack Black on a comedy about a different superhero. Whether he will stay involved with TGH depends on his schedule.

I can't say I'm surprised by this possibility-Chow seems like an all in kinda filmmaker--and if he wants to move on he most likely will.
