    Dicky Cheung to Film "Journey to the West" in Hollywood?
    [​IMG]

    Dicky Cheung Wai Kin will be filming Wong Jing's remake of "Wong Fei Hung." Numerous jokes are to be expected!
    Since Wong Jing joined See Corporation Ltd., he has produced numerous projects. Wong Jing will be filming a remake of "Wong Fei Hung," starring Dicky Cheung Wai Kin, Alice Chan Wai, Annie Man Chung Han, Lam Chi Chung, Leung Man Yee, and Lee Si Pui. Dicky will be playing the title character, Wong Fei Hung.

    Dicky will be entangled in a romantic triangle with Annie Man and Alice Chan. Dicky will likely add his trademark humor when playing the famous folk hero, Wong Fei Hung.
    Lam Chi Chung will play Chu Yuk Wing and Cheung Ka Lun will play Ga Chat So.
    Also, rumors have circulated in China that Hollywood's Columbia Pictures was interested in casting Dicky in an international version of "Journey to the West." Source: the Sun

    I still remember "monkey magic" ha. but haven't really seen dicky in much movies at all, hope he doesn't keep the persona he developed since duke of mount deer cause he been acting the same in every movie he did after that one and it got boring, and i don't hope to see him in another journey to the west lol, he's getting too old for the role.

    Well, if its anyone being monkey for Journey to the West, I'm glad its Dicky. He is/was/will always be the best Monkey King. He has the charisma for the character.

    dicky's the monkey.. again :p:p:p
    if they decide on the project... theirs alrdy a Journey to the West Hollywood movie... Forbbiden Kingdom... so i really dont see it happening too soon...

    but him as Wong Fei Hung... hhmmm... then its not going to be a serious movie right... aww... Jet Li as Fei Hung is the classics
    can Dicky fight???

    EDIT: oh just checked who Wong Jing is... just a HK version of Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer, the idiots with their year after year of spoof movies
    i have very low expectation from the Wong Fei Hung movie now...

    semi un related.. best Wong Fei Hung Fight
