Columbia Pictures is in early talks with Nicolas Cage to play the gangster villain in The Green Hornet, reports Variety.
Cameron Diaz is negotiating to play a reporter and love interest in the Michel Gondry-directed film that stars Seth Rogen as the masked crime fighter.
The picture is moving full steam ahead for a fall start date, even as the studio looks to replace Stephen Chow, who was going to play sidekick Kato. Rogen and Evan Goldberg wrote the script and Neal Moritz is producing through his Original Films.

What about Robin Shou (Mortal Kombat) as Kato? Or Jet Li? I am a fan of Michel Gondry's work, but with so many people coming and going on this film, as well as Nicolas Cage's interest in the film, I'm kind of worried that this will end up becoming another bad film in the history of tv-to-film adaptations. Nic hasn't made the best choices as far as films go, but who knows, maybe this might be the breakout hit he desperately needs.
