Stephen Chow makes July 9th, 2010 look less interesting

ComingSoon.net confirms the news I knew in my heart was coming for months and months now: Stephen Chow is dropping out of Michel Gondry's Green Hornet, starring Seth Rogen.

This is a shame. It still sounds cool, and I still love Gondry, but it doesn't sound as weird without Stephen Chow. But then, what do I know. Maybe they'll cast Fabio or Jason Statham or Samuel L. Jackson as Kato.

The Green Hornet will hopefully open on July 9th, 2010.
