Thanks to comingsoon.net for this quote from Stephen Chow concerning his departure as director from The Green Hornet.
“If I direct ‘The Green Hornet,’ the superhero comedy will have to be delayed for two years,” Chow said. “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.”
Apparently he is going off to direct a project involving Jack Black, and would have to delay Hornet if he stayed on as director. I'm glad to hear that it's this and not "creative differences", but at the same time I wonder how he will have time to act in this and direct the other film. Possibly because of all the Pre and Post work that has to be done as director. At the same time I do sense a little...I don't know...contempt for the movie do to the original idea part of his quote. I hope he's not just doing this for a paycheck.
