John Woo looking at Green Hornet?

GreenHornet.jpgThis has the promise of gold draped all over it. Kevin Smith's script for Green Hornet is allegedly being considered by John Woo. Oh boy, that sounds mighty nice to me.

From comments made at Wizard World snipped through Moviehole from Comic Book Resources:

When asked about possibly working with Ben Affleck on "Daredevil 2," Smith was flattered by Affleck's comments but doesn't want to work on "Daredevil." For the same reason he had a hard time working on "Green Hornet." He's finished that script, has pulled himself out of the running for directing it, and said the script was being looked at by John Woo right now.

Wow, two great pieces of news in one. Woo for Hornet, and no way on an Affleck Daredevil 2 movie. I can sleep easy now. Here's to the Hornet though, I think with Woo in charge it could be for an exciting movie with action abounding, and perhaps just the odd homage to Lee.

I'd be very interested in seeing this film. The script alone could be entertaining enough, but with Woo helming it... *whistles*

With the work he did in the Bourne series, I think Matt Damon would be a perfect Hornet. His martial arts training and his age should fit the movie perfectly.
