Renowned Monkey King performer Zhang Jinlai, better known as Liuxiaolingtong in China, said that the US and China will jointly shoot a 3D version film of the Chinese classic
Journey to the West and he will replay the role of the Monkey King, Xinhua Daily reported Thursday.
The new version must be loyal to the literary, Zhang said at an event in Chongqing.
If the film adopts certain chapters of the book, the four main characters from the TV version of the story are likely to reunite in the new film, he said.
