Stephen Chow has pulled out of directing The Green Hornet. The Kung Fu Hustle star and director will still appear in the film as the sidekick Kato, alongside Seth Rogen, but has exited helming the project due to that old chestnut "creative differences". According to Variety, The studio and producer Neal Moritz are in the process of setting a new director to keep the picture on track to begin production by spring. Don't be surprised if Pineapple Express helmer David Gordon Green comes on board, he showed a deft hand at directing action and Rogen obviously enjoyed working with him a great deal.
