Popular Taiwanese singer and actor Jay Chou will play martial arts master Kato in an upcoming movie version of "The Green Hornet". Kato is the sidekick to the Green Hornet, a vigilante crime fighter. The upcoming movie from Columbia Pictures is slated in the summer of 2010.
The late Bruce Lee played the Green Hornet's sidekick Kato in the TV series. It helped popularize martial arts in the U.S. and launched his legendary movie career.
"I won't try to be Bruce Lee's Kato -- I will try to bring my own interpretation to the part," Chou said.
Chou was born in Taiwan and his 2000 album "Jay" made him popular. He played the piano and the cello. He starred in several Chinese films like 2008's "Kung Fu Dunk", a film about a martial arts expert who began playing basketball.
