Nicolas Cage became another casualty in the never ending string of problems for Sony Pictures feature The Green Hornet. After negotiations with the star’s contract came to a standstill, the actor dropped out of the cast. Cage was signed on originally to play the villain Mr. X in the Michael Gondry directed film. Now that Cage is out of the picture literally, and for this to happen during the start of filming as shown here, the never ending slew of problems continues to plague this project.
Starring Seth Rogen, Cameron Diaz and Jay Chou, The Green Hornet is set to be released in theaters alongside Tron Legacy on December 17, 2010. Being pushed back several times, Sony will have to scramble quickly to find a replacement unless they want their crime fighting hero to feel the sting of defeat when all he has to fight right now is air.
