Back in July, we reported that Stephen Chow had started shooting his new film ODYSSEY in China. Like his 1994 classics A CHINESE ODYSSEY PART ONE: PANDORA'S BOX and PART TWO: CINDERELLA, the new ODYSSEY will be based on the famous Chinese novel A Journey to the West, which tells the story of Monkey King's journey to the west to acquire sutras from India.

Chow, who is the film's producer, co-director (with GALLANT director Derek Kwok Chi-kin), screenwriter and actor, has just revealed in a television interview that filming of ODYSSEY has been completed, and that the film is now in post-production and will be scheduled for release in 2012! According to Chow, ODYSSEY will feature a lot of special effects, just like his last few movies SHAOLIN SOCCER, KUNG FU HUSTLE and CJ7.
