Donnie Yen is THE MONKEY KING?

'The Monkey King' 3D Holds Press Conference in Beijing

Filmko's 3D action film "The Monkey King" <????> (previously
translated as "Havoc in Heaven") held a press conference yesterday and
some of its starry leads like Chow Yun-fat, Donnie Yen, Aaron Kwok,
Kelly Chen, Gigi Leung, Peter Ho, and Joe Chen all attended.

A-list actor Chow joked at the interview that he is the CEO of heaven
because he plays the Jade Emperor in the film: "I rule the heaven. I'm a
very important CEO." He does not really mind about money but hopes for a
shorter time in applying make-up.

Playing the Monkey King in the film, Yen expressed he only gets 2-3
hours of sleep everyday, but he would try hard to provide the best to
everyone. The "Ip Man" star will have romantic scenes with newcomer Xia
Zi Tong (plays the Nine-tailed Fox) in the film.

Praised as the most handsome Buffalo Demon King, Kwok hopes to change
people's view on this character who appears frightening and ugly
usually. But it takes 3 hours to get his make-up done and the actor's
skin is complaining already.

Playing his wife Princess Iron Fan in the film, Joe Chen is fortunate
that she does not need to film action scenes like other people because
her character is pregnant. The Taiwanese idol drama queen admires Kwok a
lot and she praises him the most handsome Buffalo Demon King in the
history.

Returning to the film industry after giving birth, Kelly Chen discloses
she likes her role as Guan Yin in the film. Plus the filming time is not
too long and she does not have to be separate away from her son for a
long period.

Several costume photos of the cast were released earlier but yesterday
director of the film disclosed they are not the final version. The film
plans to be released in 2012.
