the monkey king film series is it in english

I'm made some edits to The Monkey King article, making corrections with the production companies and the producers involved in the Chinese version and English version of this movie. Hundreds, if not thousands of Asian films have been based on the picaresque novel, which runs to several thousand pages in English. The story of Sun Wukong, the monkey king, is well known to over a billion people in Asia, where it has the ubiquity that Grimm's Fairy Tales has in Europe and the U.S.

Is this film set in the same continuity with The Forbidden Kingdom? Like a prequel? - 69.242.133.252 ( talk) 19:46, 4 August 2012 (UTC) Seriously, you asked this in 2012?! Anyway, both films draw on the Chinese literary classic Journey To The West. So all I'm saying is we need to get to the bottom of this and see if this really was 'filmed in IMAX 3D.' Because if it was, that would be HUGE (literally and figuratively). But the sources titled 'Donnie Yen To Transform Himself Into The Monkey King' and 'Monkey King gets 3-D IMAX treatment' are both old sources that I think incorrectly say that the movie will be filmed in IMAX 3D. Whether it will be released in IMAX 15perf/70mm, I don't know yet. I speculate it is mostly going to be released in their digital, or DMR theaters. Also, there is no mention that there are any sequences filmed with IMAX cameras, or that it will even be formatted for IMAX theaters. And on its website, IMAX has announced that they will be distributing this film in China only (so far). Had this movie been entirely filmed with IMAX 3D cameras, it would be a huge deal, and it would be more than just a footnote on the IMAX website.

I believe that it is inaccurate to say that this movie was 'filmed in IMAX 3D.' Something that is filmed in 'IMAX 3D' usually (if not always) means that actual IMAX 3D cameras were used.

An interesting list of films, maybe you could add additional years and popularity? A history of chinese film production may add depth, or even differences that occur with films from 19.
