Jam-Packed Trailer For Stephen Chow\'s Journey To The West

[Brendon Connelly]

More or less everything in this trailer is some sort of gag and most of them are the kind of thing that wouldn't be out of place in a John K. cartoon. In fact, many of these would have worked back in the heyday of Looney Tunes too.

It's odd to see a Stephen Chow film without Stephen Chow. His staying behind the camera creates a big charisma deficit for his cast to make up.

Stephen Chow had played Monkey before, back in the 90s, in the two-part A CHINESE ODYSSEY.

He was very good as both a human and the Monkey King.

Is this the version Gaiman was working on or is there another adaptation still to maybes come?

This is different. There's also a version coming out this year called The Monkey King. It stars Donnie Yen and Chow Yun Fat.

Might give this a go...

I want a Monkey King movie done with Andy Serkis and CGI like Rise of the Apes. They never really look or move like a monkey, but I'm probably the only one who cares about this.

John K cartoons are actually quite clever and well-made. This doesn't look like it's either of those things.

I have to agree, that trailer was a mess.

I don't think the Monkey King is really required to move like an ordinary monkey, that might be why no one cares about it.



I agree that not having Chow on screen is a big deficit, but from what I saw in the trailer, this film could still be a lot of fun.
