Stephen Chow's CJ7 gets Animated Sequel

At a press conference in Beijing yesterday, Stephen Chow announced that the sequel to the sci-fi comedy film CJ7 is receiving the animated treatment. Sitting on the director chair will be Yuen Kin-to (aka Toe Yuen) who helm the McDull animated film series while Chow will serve as the producer. In this film, all the characters is expected to return with the original cast providing the voice acting and it will feature an all-new story. I don't think its too much of a stretch to picture it in animated form since Chow's brand of slapstick comedy is very similar to the medium itself.

Its scheduled to arrive theatrically in China during the Spring Festival of next year.
