Hong Kong actor, writer and director Stephen Chow has announced plans to make an animated feature film sequel to the 2008 Chinese sci-fi comedy film CJ-7.
Chow’s Star Overseas Co. and the government-owned China Film Group will co-produce the feature, expected to be released in 2010, reports Variety.
The film will feature the same characters as the original, which earned some $29 million at the box office in China, in a new story. The original actors are expected to provide voices for their roles.
Toe Yuen will direct the feature. His credits include the hit animation franchise McDull. Chow will serve as executive producer.
