Just the other day Greg and I were talking about how The Green Hornet has been plagued with setback after setback, first with Stephen Chow bowing out and then next with Nic Cage leaving as the villain to Seth Rogen's Hornet. But with Chow's replacement of Michel Gondry, which was a definite step up, so is Cage's alleged replacement.
It's being rumored that Christoph Waltz is sliding into Cage's now empty shoes in another villainous role on the heels of his super fantastic turn as the Jew Hunter in Inglourious Basterds. For anyone who's seen the film, you know that Waltz is THE one to watch in QT's WWII drama. His acting in the movie is so top-notch that he won the Best Actor statue at Cannes this summer.
I'm sure Waltz is getting offers left and right, so it's interesting he's going with Rogen's big-budget super hero movie, but I'm downright excited. I hope he just doesn't get stereotyped as the bad guy for his other movies.
The Green Hornet hits theaters December 2010.
What do y'all think?
