Earlier this month, we found out Nicolas Cage dropped out of Michel Gondry's upcoming action adventure "The Green Hornet," but back then, it was not really clear why so. The only thing we knew was that Cage failed to reach a proper deal with Columbia. There was more to it though, and Cage now revealed what happened.

After delivering what I believe is easily one of the year's best performance as nasty Col. Hans Landa in Quentin Tarantino's "Inglourious Basterds," Austrian actor Christoph Waltz is now set to play the bad guy in Michel Gondry's upcoming "The Green Hornet."

Nicolas Cage was supposed to play the villain in the crime adventure, but he recetly dropped out. Variety says Waltz will play Chudnofsky, a Los Angeles crime lord who tries to bring together a number of gangs to form his own criminal force.

Back in July, Nicolas Cage entered negotiations to play the villain in Michel Gondry's "The Green Hornet," but as we learn from Heat Vision, he's now no longer involved with the film, which has already started shooting.

Not many details have been released, but apparently, Columbia and Cage failed to seal a proper deal. That means they're now looking for a new guy to play the baddie.

Actor Jay Chou has officially signed on to star as Kato in Michel Gondry’s upcoming big-screen adventure "The Green Hornet," Columbia Pictures announced Friday.

“It’s an overwhelming experience to take on a role made famous by Bruce Lee," Chou said. "I won’t try to be Bruce Lee’s Kato – I will try to bring my own interpretation to the part."

Written by Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg, the film follows the adventures of Britt Reid, who inherits his dad's newspaper and fights crime as a masked hero at night.

Stephen Chow was originally set to play Kato, Reid's sidekick, but he recently dropped out. As for Chou, he's a celebrated pop artist in Taiwan. He also starred opposite Chow Yun-Fat and Gong Li in "The Curse of the Golden Flower."
