Hathaway has something to Chow on

By Matt Holmes / June 25, 2011

Bit of a dodgy headline but hey, it's a Saturday night. You don't normally get updates from me at this time of the week, so be fucking grateful! And hey it's a pretty cool story. According to China.org.cn, the beauty queen Anne Hathaway has been hired to co-star with Jack Black in a superhero comedy to be written, directed and led by Stephen Chow. Wei Dasen, a rep for Chow's company called it...

"a superhero, action-packed, special effects-rich, and of course funny" movie".

... and has in the past been described by Chow as being similar in the vein to KUNG FU HUSTLE. No title or firm plot has yet to be revealed but the movie could well be Chow's answer to his problems at 20th Century Fox over THE GREEN HORNET. A movie he was set to direct (and indeed is still attached to star) but left because of a conflict of creative decisions between Chow and the studio. Chow working in his homeland now has full control to give us the outrageous superhero comedy he probably dreamed of when he first met Seth Rogen and spoke of the HORNET. And let's hope he will deliver the movie we originally dreamed of when we first heard of said meeting. source - coming soon
