Oh my, please yes.
Filmko's big budget Monkey King: Wreaking Havoc In Heavenly Palace - a new 3D take on the classic Journey To The West folklore - attracted our attention here back in January thanks to the involvement of WETA Digital but things just got a whole lot more interesting. In ascending order:
1. This is not just 3D, it's being shot on IMAX.
2. Soi Cheang is now committed to direct.
3. Producers are trying to land Donnie Yen and / or Jet Li for key parts.
Whether you're at all familiar with the source legends or the earlier film adaptations that particular collection of news bits has got to immediately vault this to the top of the must-see list for 2011.
