On December 12, with the participation of the main cast, a press conference dedicated to the film was held "The Monkey King". And just a week later, the first footage showing the makeup process was leaked online. Donnie Yen. I must say, in the image of a red-haired primate God he looks very funny.
Given the growing popularity of the format 3D, the filmmakers decided to surpass the well-known "Avatar" and film the largest Chinese film adaptation of Journey to the West. To create 3D special effects, they hired a Hollywood team led by David Ebner, who worked on “Alice in Wonderland” и “Spider-Man 3”. Handles visual effects Daniel Simess.
Aaron Kwok, who was also present at the press conference, said that this time he will try to outdo himself and embody his character on screen as best as possible.
“I hope that with Donnie Yen's fight choreography, the demonic Buffalo King (Kwok's character) can out-fight the Jade Emperor (Chow Yun-Fat's character).”
Premiere "The Monkey King" will take place in July 2012. The film will be shown in more than 1100 Chinese 3D-cinemas.

EvilDollaR, you still haven’t responded to Donnie’s latest film. Did you like it... no?
I haven't forgotten. I'll try to post it on the forum one of these days. A lot of interesting articles have accumulated (with a lot of “bookaff”), but there is a catastrophic lack of time for translation, don’t blame me...
>>again, Donnie Yen will fly and twirl his fist the whole film..... and all the special >>effects will be spent on rubbing out tons of cables. In general it will be crap, IMHO...
Yes, that's probably how it will be...

Which side is the avatar here? =) And the avatar is bullshit for me personally. One special effects and nothing more.
They will not surpass Avatar in any way
I see they aimed high, and that’s good. THX
If only not too high, otherwise in the same teaser for 41 seconds. on the stone arch (or the top of the big letter O) there is a terribly stretched, low-quality texture, just creepy. I hope there won’t be such obvious flaws in the final version.
