Monkey King journeys to America

Many people would squirm at the very thought of an American Monkey King, while some might welcome it as a creative idea. But no matter what people think, Journey to the West is set to be made into an American TV series.

Titled Badlands, the series will be produced by AMC and will hit the small screen next year or in early 2016. According to AMC, actors-directors Stephen Fung and Daniel Wu will join the production team to give shape to the TV series based on one of the “Four Great Classical Novels” of Chinese literature.
