Seth Rogen’s The Green Hornet Finds a New Kato?
After Stephen Chow relinquished the role of Kato in Seth Rogen’s upcoming Green Hornet movie earlier this month, the search to find a replacement immediately kicked into high gear. And although it’s only been a couple of weeks since the announcement, it looks like Sony may have already found their man. According to Korean movie news site HanCinema, Korean actor Kwon Sang-woo had a successful audition and is currently in final negotiations for the role.
Kwon Sang-woo is currently unknown to North American audiences, having starred in such films overseas as Once Upon a Time in High School and Destiny. Apparently he has martial arts experience and his English, while not perfect, was good enough to impress Seth Rogen. As Twitch points out, this would be the third Korean star to make their Hollywood breakthrough this year after Rain in Ninja Assassin and Lee Byeong-Heon in G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra. While I have no opinion on Kwon Sang-woo as of yet, I’m just impressed that they are giving someone a chance outside of the usual suspects. I thought for sure Jet Li was going to be getting a phone call even though he’d clearly be too old for the part. Is anyone out there familiar with Kwon’s previous work? Do you think he will make a good Kato?

He will disgrace Kato. Kwon Sang Woo is a boring-model-turned-soap-opera-actor. I have seen his work and he is NO Kato. Please find a better Kato. I saw a recent interview with him and his English is worse than bad, how can he improv with Seth Rogen??? Terrible casting, this movie is going down the drain
Posted by Lane on July 28th, 2009Agreed. I am Korean, and I watch Kwon Sang-Woo all the time and he is just a pretty face. He can’t act or do any karate. Very surprised they are considering casting him. Stupid Hollywood doesn’t care about the movie only about he DVD sales he will bring in Korea… Typical
Posted by Gkim on July 28th, 2009I say they should get Dr. Cho. He’s worked with Rogen before and he’s a funny motherfucker.
Posted by Swarez on July 28th, 2009I agree..This Movie will go down the Drain if they cast this Pretty Boy as Kato. In the television series Kato was portrayed by Bruce Lee a “Real Fighter” not a “Pretty boy”. They should cast the Real Ass Kickers, such as Cung Le or Jet li. Leave Pretty Boy at the spa.
Posted by JB on July 28th, 2009They should get Kato Kaelin to play Kato.
Posted by Greg on July 28th, 2009How about that early 90’s reference kids?
Posted by Greg on July 28th, 2009Im just going to stick by Tony Jaa on this one.
Posted by Captain N on July 28th, 2009They should have cast the obvious choice..Jason Scott Lee.
Posted by Megahn on July 29th, 2009To those who are against Kwon Sang Woo,
Have you really watched his movies or dramas?
Posted by Hana on July 29th, 2009Surely he has a beautiful face, but that is not all
he has. He is a fine figure of a man. He can perform so much sharply and gracefully in action scenes without
help of a stunt man. Moreover, he is said to be a man
who has thousands of expressions!
You will never be bored in watching “Green Hornet” if he acts the role of Kato. I promise!
Sounds like Rogen is doing a great job… ruining the Green Hornet franchise.
Posted by Odo on July 29th, 2009Mr.Kown sang woo is the best!
Posted by yokogaoking on July 29th, 2009His charm is infinite!
He will make wonderful KATO.
I saw all works of Mr.Kwon Sang Woo.
Posted by quick dora on July 29th, 2009He’s the wonderful actor full of charisma.
His standing form, walking, and running etc. are more beautiful than everyone.
His action is quick,his action would jump on the screen.
He fits Kato’s role really.
lol it seems to me women love him, and the men hate him. Green hornet, is this a super-hero movie? I don’t even know what this movie is about.
Posted by rick on July 29th, 2009Mr.Kwon Sangwoo is popular in Asia. The few actor of the young people who can do an action.
The actor who makes an effort strenuously.
There is charm from which a member is different with an actor of the extraordinary movement ability and beauty of the looks and others.
Please see a Korean movie “savagery”.
You’d be attracted.
Please give him a chance.

Posted by Ｖｅｎｕｓ on July 29th, 2009Kwon Sang Woo is the best.
Posted by ponet3woo on July 29th, 2009If his Movie is seen, it understands.
His action movie is really splendid.
If it is him, it is likely to become most wonderful KATO.
Your 90s reference wasn’t bad, Greg. But I doubt many of these whippersnappers got it. But if you want a really old Kato reference, try this one on for size:
Posted by Matt on July 29th, 2009Kato of the new Green Hornet movie should be played by Burt Kwouk who played Kato Fong in all those Pink Panther movies. Hi-ohhh.
C mon how they disgrace Bruce Lee like that there has to be an obvious choice which is a real fighter not just a cup cake pretty boy.
Posted by Dr. Richard on July 29th, 2009If they wanted a fighter isn’t Cung Le available a true fighter/actor.
Posted by Mark Walhberg on July 29th, 2009Kato was played by Bruce Lee a True Fighter and putting in babyface will be a big disgrace. We have lots of True fighters who can take on the role and kick ass. Yes, he’s a good looking guy. Yes, he’ll attract the females..but that’s it. This is an Action Movie, not a Runway. The only experience he has in breaking stuff are his nails. Bring in the well experience Fighters who can back up what they are known for. My vote is for Cung Le, HANDS DOWN!
Posted by JB on July 29th, 2009If he plays Kato, the movie will NOT be a hit. There are tons of great well known and experience fighters who can take this role. It will be a big disgrace to the martial art world and espclly to Bruce Lee’s fans. You cant replace what was once portrayed by the Legendary Fighter Bruce Lee with an unknown Pretty boy. Also, his english is not that great. So how are you suppose to understand the movie/jokes when majority of the time you’re trying to figure out what he’s saying? Please reconsider..
Posted by jules on July 29th, 2009no, casting this Korean actor Kwon Sang-woo will not be appropiate for the role. Casting crew and director need to give importance to the martial arts skills, get an asian american WUSHU expert actor will be the best choice, good martial arts and good english plus acting skills.
Martial Arts need to be important for the movie, they cannot be deferred to some low level Unit B crew and executed by an actor with no real skills. A disgrace to Bruce Lee.
Posted by masteringwushu.com on July 29th, 2009konsangwoo The KATOU best It’s action stage left, the Korean number one which doesn’t use a^ stunt man and performs personally Also, when I have a face of one thousand, a historical origin~~an expression performance is wonderful-.
When he performs Cato,~~a movie would be something more wonderful

He lets this movie surely succeed.
Mr.Kwon Sangwoo is our pride.
Methinks the Kwon Sang-woo fan club believes Film Junk has some sway in the casting for The Green Hornet. As well, methinks Babel Fish needs some work.
BTW, I had no idea who Cung Le is, so I checked out some video of his UFC fights. (I still think UFC is as fake as wrestling is.) I’m not impressed. Ha ha. (Yeah, I know he could beat the crap out of me.) Oh, I was impressed that he actually looked at and paid attention to the referee as he was giving the fighters the pre-fight instructions. Meanwhile Frank Shamrock was trying to stare Cung Le down with Cung Le simply ignoring him. That’s cool!
Posted by Reed Farrington on July 30th, 2009You find him and are very lucky.

He is really a hard worker. The villain studies both the comedy and the romance in anything wonderfully, too. As for the person who knew him, the person who surely watched his performance will surely fit in into his charm. It is a very splendid actor. Thanking you in advance.
Posted by Mayumi Izumi on July 30th, 2009Mr. won SangWoo is an actor showing Asia. He is an actor who manages from a love story to an action film. I want me to see the movie “Yajuu” which challenged you without the stunt man by all means. The physical beauty of the muscles which balance was able to take was called NO1 in South Korea, and the language to “MOMUCHAN” Say was produced. Furthermore, the role active as a fashion model is played. I respect the sweet mask and the masculine meat as his thing which is the optimal person to “Cato’s role.”

Posted by jyuri on July 30th, 2009Jesus. It seems like this article hit big in Korea.
Now I have never seen a Green Hornet episode (only clips on youtube) but I think people are overestimating the importance of Bruce Lee in that show. It was never a martial arts show per se but an action show where they kicked a few asses in every episode. And it certainly wasn’t a show that revolved around Lee’s talent, it looked like it squandered it if anything, so I don’t get this response that the filmmakers have to respect the memory of Lee and all that jazz. Lee was a great fighter but it didn’t look like it in that show from what I’ve seen.

Posted by kaori on July 30th, 2009To put things in perspective, when The Green Hornet series with Bruce Lee was shown in Asia, they renamed the series The Kato Show. I agree with Swarez though in that Bruce Lee never seemed impressive and never played a large role in the series even in the episode featuring martial arts.
On the DVD The Young Bruce Lee, there’s an extra with Batman, Green Hornet and Kato appearing on The Milton Berle show. I felt embarrassed for Bruce Lee.

Actor Kwon Sangwoo is a mentally and physically wonderful actor.
The physical beauty is as wonderful as Greek sculpture, and South Korea NO1.
Moving ability is also wonderful, and sports are versatile. ｡It is a hardworking person who digests what.
And, the acting ability was also wonderful, acting of tears dressed especially, and [**] dressed a lot of people movingly.
The character is also of course wonderful, and it is an actor who always does his best.
I want to see strongly Sangwoo [sanno] [katouyaku]. It expects it.
Posted by hachi on July 31st, 2009Director Michel Gondry makes the best choice if he cast Kwon Sang Woo. This is the 21st century, Kato character must adapt the imporoving requirements. Not only a man just with kungfu skill!
Posted by Mona on July 31st, 2009Kwon Sang woo has all to be the 21st-century KATO: martial arts, acting skill, perfect firm body, nice appearance, and expression skills!
Who could be better???
Japanese woman fan same person how many times appeals to you, too, but English pronunciation of Kwon is no use.
It will not be used in U.S.A.

Posted by bwcll on July 31st, 2009I think I’m beginning to understand Korean after reading all these comments.
Finally, Film Junk has managed to tap into the 4,050,404,000 people of the Asian marketplace. I think we’ll need a bigger hard disk. Have I mentioned that I love Korean films? (I have no shame.)
Seriously, Sean, we should somehow get a mention on Cung Le’s fan blog. We could start a war between Vietnam and Korea! And I’ll understand if you want to replace my face with Kwon Sang-woo’s on the Film Junk t-shirt. Maybe I should replace my Treknobabble column with Kwonsangwoobabble.

Posted by mirorin on July 31st, 2009I want to talk a little calmly.
Posted by Ｖｅｎｕｓ on July 31st, 2009Why a lot of assistance messages are sent only as for this even if it is unknown tacitly tells the charm of the actor.
Moreover, having been called as an object person of the audition though it is unnamed might be proof of splendid ability.
This Mr.Kwon Sangwoo might be a dark horse if it thinks so.
It is certain that a noteworthy level of the movie rises in the sphere of Asia because Mr.Kwon Sangwoo performs it is possible to say certainly.
Mr.Kwon Sangwoo is an actor in South Korea of the dizzying height that much.
This is worthy of consideration.
Kwon Sang Woo has handsome appearance and good physique. In addition, he has good potential and is a hardworking actor. Surely, he can give a fresh feeling to the film
Among the asian actors, he is full of vitality and action sensitive. Therefore, I consider he is the best choice for this role. I look forward seeing his splendid performance.

Who are you?
It’s delicate and more dynamic! To perform Kato doesn’t exist in addition to kwon sanngwoo, please choose kwon sanngwoo by all means.
Posted by tamitami on July 31st, 2009Mr.Kwon songwoo a wonderful actor.
It’s suitable for Cato’s role.
The actor who can even do the action ・comedy.
Of the wonderful body represents Korea, he have it.
Posted by akemi K on July 31st, 2009Disgrace to Bruce Lee? you must be kidding. Nobody can replace Bruce Lee, but if that’s the way you think, then maybe this movie shouldn’t even be make! Kwon Sang Woo is a wonderful actor and okay so he’s not a real fighter, but he can fight. So I say why not give him a chance? be more open-minded.
Posted by suesangwoo on July 31st, 2009I think that KWON SANGWOO will make a good KATO!
Posted by yocci on July 31st, 2009He is the few actor who can do the acting without a stunt man,and can also do a comical acting .
I love sangwoo!
I love sangwoo!
I love sangwoo!
Posted by RIEKO on July 31st, 2009Believe me, when I first heard about the choice, I was like who is this guy, then I watched some of his movies, and I think he’s not too bad. I suggest you check out one of his movie called “Once Upon a Time in High School”. He totally kick asses in it. Now I think he might not be a bad choice to play Kato.
Posted by Ken on July 31st, 2009Too bad. Kwon Sang-woo as Kato?
Posted by james on July 31st, 2009He just did a little (not real) martial arts in “Once upon a time in high school”
His another two movies “fate” and “running wild” were all DOWN.
Never heard that he received any awards for best actor.
only knew that he was a modle with unnatural pretty face and firm body.
People can’t jump into a conclusion by sayiing Kwon Sangwoo is not suitable for the role of Kato simply because he’s only a pretty boy and he’s not a real fighter.
Posted by susan on July 31st, 2009But the truth is he’s not only a goodlooking guy, he’s also very good at action movie. If people really know him, he would know he has played many sucessful films with his beautiful acting ability and kongfu skill without any stunt, and those films were all very hit.
He’s absolutely qualify to play Kato in 2010 Green Hornet, he will let people know how good he is if he got the chance!
I will vote “YES” without any doubt!
I’ll say he is the best cast to play “Kato”.
There is much charm of Mr.Kwon Sang Woo.
Posted by puu～ on July 31st, 2009Above all, the performance of eyes is wonderful.
I think the perfect body and spiritual strength to be the best as an actor.
I expect Mr.Kwon Sang Woo playing an active part in the world。
And as the seasons change, the post about Seth Rogen’s The Green Hornet Finds A New Kato grew, much in the same way Tetsuo did in Akira.

Please give クォンサンウ a chance. I understand the splendor if I watch his work.
Posted by funny on July 31st, 2009I want I draw the talent that they stand as an actor, and was born, and few, much|many people to watch a work of Mr. サンウ. It is the actor whom it wants to support all the time.

Posted by Long high-water right on July 31st, 2009feel the hot change of new star! support Sang-woo for make intuitive acting of great film.
Once tried to make denial of fine muscular power but fury of fan horde comments conversion to Sang-woo. To ignore is to insane!!!!
Posted by Goon on July 31st, 2009Those who haven’t known Kwon Sangwoo very well please don’t make such a anti comment. If you have watched all his films and dramas, if you have read all his life and acting experiences, you will find that he is nearly a perfect man, handsome, filial, dutiful, qualified, etc. I don’t know if you heard this saying or not: Kwon Sangwoo is the Bruce Lee in Korea. Many directors not only in Korea but also in China gave him very high praise because of his perfect fight scenes. In addition, he never used fall guys, from which we can see that he is really responsible for sudience. This is the most commendable. As to his English, in my opinion, he can do it if he wants to do!
Posted by Judy Ji(oО太陽深處) on July 31st, 2009This thread just got hit with a Spinning Bird Kick!
Posted by Dave on July 31st, 2009“Kwon Sangwoo ”is the acter who can do it of the best perfoemance.
Posted by sakana on July 31st, 2009It is the most suitable acter in a “kato” position.
l recommend it
Ich liebe Hat Gesungen Umwirbt, ist er der populärste Koreaner in allen von Deutschland. Ich möchte sein fleischiges Fleisch alle über meiner Zunge schmecken, und badet in der Scheiße von er, Hat Gesungen, koreanischer Mannstern für die Welt Umwirbt!
Posted by Das Goon on July 31st, 2009Kwon sangwoo is famous for the highest in Asia physical beauty to say nothing of South Korea and Japan.
It is not only a body.
Of course, acting is the highest comedy and a serious action from the love story.
It is an owner of the motor nerve as oneself does the action without handling the stunt man.
Please make them challenge sangwoo and raise it by all means.
If it is him, the post is performed without fail.
Posted by fumiyo on July 31st, 2009If he’s actor who has lot of talent,it’s natural for a fan to support.

Posted by Ｒose on July 31st, 2009Hi moviefan and James
What! is there any actor who actuary is martial-art expert or an Oscar actor in this particular film Green Hornet? we are fed up with all those anti comments.
The film maker will decide who will be the best 2010 Kato.
Posted by Reiko Tebby Ito on July 31st, 2009anyone want to make a pool on how many posts this will go to before the thread gets closed?

The pronunciation of English pointed out that the pronunciation of Hangul is also bad is useless.
Posted by kanjilyakimuti on August 1st, 2009Kwon Sangwoo is a splendid actor.
Posted by chichijima マリア on August 1st, 2009I can play the scene of the martial art without stunt man, too.
And his most splendid place is that the performance of the heart to impress the heart of the spectator is possible.
Please give Kwon Sangwoo a chance of the appearance.
I’m Mr. actor with St. KWON cormorant…. acting ability::: It’ll be also the one I want to flap big now I’m supporting.
Posted by mako on August 1st, 2009I am a great fan of Kwon Sang Woo.
Sang Woo is a very attractive actor. Love comedy, lye Chillon are one Asian stars who always impress hearts of the fans with the actor of the all energy throw.
This kato position thinks that he is good by all means. Thank you very much. “
Posted by yumeko on August 1st, 2009If you haven’t watched the dramas and movies casted by KwonSangWoo, it is unfair to give any anti-comment ! He is not only a handsome man with nice body figure, but also he is a hard working actor. Everytime, he works hard to overcome various difficulties, and do a good job in each role, so the audience are touching by his wonderful performance.
A good actor can perform any role. KwonSangWoo is just a good actor, so I have no doubt he can perform this role very well even he is not a real fighter. I highly recommend to give him a chance.
Posted by blessing/Hong Kong on August 1st, 2009Dear Susan,
I heartily agree with you!
Posted by Hana on August 1st, 2009Your words moved me to come here again.
I do want those who are against Kwon Sang Woo to watch

Thank you, Susan!
I love you!

Posted by Susan on August 4th, 2009I’m the wonderful actor who expects it of Mr. KUNSANU, Cato Succeeding Apparent.
Posted by mkt on August 5th, 2009um… i understood about 5% of the posts on here. Especially not the one about UFC being fake like WWE… you gotta be joking. *elbow to your face*
I wouldnt care who played Kato, just as long as they played him well. No one could ever match the skill Bruce had, so even attempting to find someone of that caliber makes me laugh. If the character of Kato was supposed to be a pretty boy sidekick in the original series (which Bruce sort of was… he wasn’t an ugly guy), then feel free to type cast whichever actor seems to fit. But if this Kwon-sang whomever doesnt know his martial arts, then the scenes with him having to perform martial arts may be very lacking.
in these things find sense that all seem knowing in words speaketh i do. =/
lol… what freaggin translators you people using??? the comments are worth a re-read, but they all do seem like one person is saying them over and over. =)
asian women… so funny. pretty boy or stylish or a fresh wind in asian or not, hire a man who knows his stuff when it comes to action fight scenes. at least TRY and honor the memory of the original Kato. We all know Bruce wasn’t korean… anywho. Must not be any good chinese martial arts actors out there.
?
Posted by RichPea on August 5th, 2009I just wondering if those who does make such a anti comment, have you ever seen his all films and dramas he has played?
Posted by Magie on August 6th, 2009It is not fair to saying he is no good to play as Kato, if you haven’t known him well.
He’s awesome at action movie, he has played many sucessful films with wonderful acting ability and kongfu skill without any stunt.
His English skill? I don’t think it will be a big problem for this movie because Kato is Japanese. I want you to remember that! If he doesn’t speak English well, so what. I have seen many American films with poor Japanese speaking.
Someone say that never heard he received any awards for best actor. Actually, he received the best new actor with the movie “My Tutor Friend” but I think it isn’t so important to play as Kato.
I hate that people criticizes someone who really don’t know the person well.
I’ll say he is the best cast to play “Kato”as well.
He’s absolutely qualify to play Kato in 2010 Green Hornet.
You will see how good he is if he got the chance in this movie.
c’mon “tak sakaguchi” no contest.
Posted by aragami on August 6th, 2009ATTENTION PLEASE!

“ONCE UPON A TIME IN HIGH SCHOOL” is one of the best
movies I’ve ever seen!
The leading role of this movie is Kwon Sang Woo!
So now you know “KWON SANG WOO” definitely is the most
Posted by susangwoo on August 7th, 2009suitable person to play SATO!
Alright, seems the final decision has been made, a Taiwanese singer/actor Chou Jay Loon is going to be the
new Kato! Perhaps he’s more well-known in whole asia,
the news said, they even doesn’t care he’s good at action or not, he can or can’t speak English well…
Anyway, they just want a famous, popular, well-known
actor to play Kato for the sake of the selling market in Asia.
It’s OK, although we felt a little bit sorry and disappointed about this decision, we still believe Kwon Sang Woo is the best cast to play Kato!
So long!
Posted by susan on August 8th, 2009hi i think that kwon sang woo is the best actor ever and if he played kato he will be famous in the whole world but since jay chou is taking the part i guess they are stupid since kwon sang wo is the most amazing actor ever i actually don’t like fighting movies but i liked his he’s ana amazing actor and they made a big mistake but i guess seth rogen was jealous and didn’t want the spot light to be on kwon sang woo he want to be in the spotlight and hving such a great actor and pretty actor beside him surely will make him have a bad image but i’m sure that kwon sang woo will show the world how amazing he is and prove to seth rogen how wrong he is

However I liked John Wayne jumping from a running horse to another running one. I was very moved.
I like a Korean actor Kwon Sang Woo now.
I watched he jumped form a running car to another running one.
I was verymoved by watchting his “Running wild”. He is very handsome,sportsman. He has the best body.
He played action, romance,comdy and so on.
I wish he will play in Hollywood. And he will be the

Hello everyone in this postboard!
Honestly to say, some girls don’t know how great Kwon Sang-woo as an actor in Asian.
He can act in every characters, true love stories, love comedies, especially action movies and what the most impressive he is that his actings touch to our hearts.
His English is good enough to play “KATO”’s character, however, unfortunately this “KATO” roll has been decided to the chinese.
I am 200% sure that in a very near future Kwon Sang-woo will get a roll only he can act it.
You all will see it!
Kwon Sang-woo is the great actor!!!
Posted by Majoran on August 18th, 2009Mr.Kwonsangwoo wasn’t chosen this time,so it’s very regrettable.
