Zhang YiMou (House of the Flying Daggers, Hero) and Steven Spieberg (Munich) would collaborate, for the first time in the filming of Chinese classic, Journey to the West after the 2008 Beijing's Olympic.
According to Zhang, the classic would be turned into a sci-fi mega-blockbuster. However, he insisted that, in spite of the futuristic flavour, the movie would still be closely based on the original Chinese classics.
As for the contenders for the role of Monkey King, Zhang had hinted that he might prefer Asian pop-icon, Jay Chow.
