Stephen Chow, whose Kung Fu Hustle was the highest grossing foreign-language film in the U.S. in 2005, will write and direct a Hollywood comedy starring himself and American actor Jack Black, the Oriental Morning Post reported on Tuesday, citing Wei Dasen, a representative from Chow's company.
In December, Stephen Chow resigned as director and co-star of a Hollywood remake of Bruce Lee's 1966 TV series The Green Hornet. The movie was supposed to be Chow's first Hollywood appearance. He told the media the reason for his resignation was he was busy arranging other projects.
Wei from Chow's company says the actor-director is currently writing the screenplay for the new film. "It will be about a superhero, action-packed, special effects-rich, and of course funny."
Anne Hathaway (Get Smart, Rachel Getting Married) is likely to star in the unnamed film, according to Wei.
Chinese media cited sources close to Chow as saying that the film will be similar in style to Kung Fu Hustle.
