DEMON CHAPTER
Starring pop star Kris Wu, Lin Gengxin, Yao Chen and Mengke Bateer it follows Tang Monk who brings three disciples on a journey to the West. On the outside, everything seems harmonious. However, tension is present beneath the surface, and their hearts and minds are not in agreement. After a series of demon capturing events, the monk and his disciples gain mutual understanding of each others' hardships and unease. Finally, they resolve their inner conflict and work together to become an all conquering, demon exorcising team.

DIRECTED BY TSUI HARK
The first major collaboration between the "King of Comedy" actor turned director Stephen Chow, who wrote the movie and is producing
it, and wuxia film wizard Tsui, who is helming it, will be distributed internationally, including North America, United Kingdom, Australia and most of Asia, by Sony Pictures. Since it is being released in China
on Chinese New Year, which is traditionally the most profitable cinema period in the year over there, you can expect record breaking earnings.
