Christoph Waltz, who wowed audiences this year with his turn as a Nazi killer in Quentin Tarantino's INGLOURIOUS BASTERDS, is to next play the villain in Michel Gondry's THE GREEN HORNET. Seth Rogen and Cameron Diaz are currently shooting the film with the French director.
Waltz will play Chudnofsky in the big screen flick, a Los Angeles crime boss who tries to unite the city's various gangs in order to form a supermafia. It is thought that this is the role that Nicolas Cage was said to be playing.
