‘Journey to the West’ Animated Film Trilogy Set at Stars Collective (EXCLUSIVE)
Stars Collective Film Entertainment Group is mounting an animated film trilogy based on 'Journey to the West,' one of China's great classical novels.
A cornerstone of Chinese literature, “Journey to the West” follows the adventures of the mischievous Monkey King, Sun Wukong, as he escorts the Buddhist monk Tang Sanzang on a perilous pilgrimage to India, battling demons and seeking enlightenment along the way. “We want audiences not only to ‘see’ this mythological spectacle but to ‘experience’ it — touch Wukong’s Golden Cudgel, ride Nezha’s Wind Fire Wheels and feel the tremor of Bajie’s Nine-Toothed Rake,” said Yu Xu, CEO of Echotech and Meilin Culture. The company has recently secured rights to the nonfiction book “Fortune Sons: The 120 Chinese Boys Who Came to America, Went to School, and Revolutionized an Ancient Civilization,” developing it with Oscar-winning producer Donna Gigliotti (“Silver Linings Playbook,” “Hidden Figures,” “Shakespeare in Love,” “The Reader”).
