Rogen was asked about how it came to this point in production where the film lost Stephen Chow, who was set to play Kato, the Green Arrows sidekick:
Rogen: In my head, we lost Stephen Chow in April. So it's something I've had a lot of time to wrap my head around. So that's not a change. It might appear to be one to the world and the way that this type of information is doled out. But to me we haven't had a Kato since April and we're looking. We're kind of in the same boat we were in beforehand.
he also answered a question about the difficulty of bringing this project to the big screen
Rogen: It's really hard to make a big movie. Especially in this economy. That actually does effect things. DVD sales are down, that scares the studios. And we're not trying to make what they would consider a 100% safe version of a movie like this. We like to push the envelope. Bring Michel Gondry into the equation and that opens up a whole new bag of worms. Luckily it's all personal relationships with trying to make this. It's been pretty pleasant. It's beena great process, it's just hard.
As far as appearing at Comic-Con for The Green Hornet:
Rogen: There may be a little something at Comic-Con. I never know what I can say and what I can't say.
From the sound of Rogen it seems like there was conflicts of interest of how the film was being made from early on in production, and the production of this film seems to have come to a stop with the departure of Stephen Chow.
