Marvel Comics great Stan Lee is to enter the Chinese film market by co-creating a new superhero movie character, Monkey Master. 美国漫威之父斯坦•李宣布将合作打造新超级英雄猴王,以此进军中国电影市场。 According to Variety, Lee will work on the project with Liquid Comics’ Sharad Devarajan, with whom he created Indian superhero Chakra: The Invincible. While Chakra emerged as a 65-minute animated film on Cartoon Network India, Monkey Master is aiming higher: with backing from China’s Shinework Pictures and Graphic India, Lee and Devarajan are planning an international English-language blockbuster. 据《综艺》杂志披露,斯坦•李将和流动漫画公司的莎拉德•德瓦拉贾联手进行这一项目,此前斯坦曾与莎拉德合作创造了漫画《无敌查克拉》中的印度超级英雄。查克拉被拍成了一部65分钟的动画电影,在印度的卡通频道播放,而猴王项目的目标则定得更高:有了来自中国闪亮影业公司和印度Graphic影业公司的支持,斯坦•李和德瓦拉贾计划拍出一部世界级的英语大片。 Chakra: The Invincible Lee said in a statement: “I have always been fascinated by the Chinese and Indian cultures which are so philosophical and rich in tradition and morality. Monkey Master will be unique in how it interweaves Chinese and Indian myth to create a hero that will entertain fans across the world with his martial arts skills and unstoppable superpowers.” |
