I was starting to think that too, and that The Scrooge has come to town, something to make this Christmas less bright. But, given Chow’s quote (non adaptation “something original”) I think it’s safe to say Green Lantern isn’t on the table.

But I was thinking…what if …Jack Black called Marvel, and asked about an obscure character named Leap Frog? Yeah. Leap Frog.
Think it over.

It makes sense if Chow quits Hornet as co-star if he had creative differences as a director. So now I’m wondering if he wants to do more of a comedy, that could mean…Green Hornet is an action-comedy (like Men In Black) or simply more action…?

I was kidding about the Leap Frog thing. Don’t want anyone gettin’ funny ideas…

Speculative thought…Looking at this from a business perspective, I’m sure that the Jack Black project must be “bigger” than the Green Hornet…

Is the Jack Black project Green Lantern?

I wouldn’t call Hancock a comedy. It’s general premise was funny, but the overall tone of the movie was too melodramatic.

I’d rather see Stephen Chow’s take on the genre. Moreso than see him play a sidekick in the Green Hornet. I trust Seth Rogen will find a replacement and still come out with a good movie. If it’s anything up to Pineapple Express’ standards, I look forward to it.

A superhero comedy has already been done less than a year ago with Hancock, and I thought that was a disaster.

If ANYTHING deserves another visit, it’s Kung Fu Hustle.
