It would've been funny if it was like Michael Bay or somebody. But Kevin Smith has a film in release and this seems kinda shameless.

Sweet mother!  This guy is even giving shitty pretentious reviews of an April Fools joke!

Director Kevin Smith wasted no time getting right into the thick of planning THE GREEN HORNET after his last film, JERSEY GIRL, just opened in theaters last Friday. Smith is about 3/4 of the way through the script, has been in talks with Jake Gyllenhaal to star and now has cast the first lead in the film! Kevin popped up on the View Askew message boards to drop the news on who he cast as sidekick Kato before it was made official tomorrow in Variety. Alright enough with the suspense....William Hung is Kato! That's right the lovable "American Idol" contestant will make his feature film debut in GREEN HORNET. The UC Berkeley engineering student became a national phenomenon when he auditioned for "Idol" singing Ricky Martin's "She Bangs." Of casting Hung, who has never acted before, as one of the leads in a big-budget superhero flick, Kevin said, "I can hear some of you Kev-Haters now: 'I told you! Fatty's a sell-out!' Keep your two cents in your wallet until you're on this side of the table, bellyachers. This is not an evil, soul-selling, integrity-lacking proposition I've entered into with this flick; it's just the cost of doing business on this scale." Of Hung himself and how he came about for the part of Kato, Smith explained, "He's a really funny and well-versed guy who I instantly loved. There's no bullshit about him - no pretentious air that makes actors and actresses insufferable. Besides, I fucking loved his version of 'She Bangs!'" Filming is expected to begin later this summer on GREEN HORNER with Miramax planning a summer 2005 release.
