The Monkey King 2
And while I've not watched (nor featured) "Part 1", seems tis fitting to blog about "THE MONEKY KING 2" simply because THIS year is the Year of the Monkey, in the Chinese Almanac LOL … AND of seeing actress Gong Li in the role of villainess "Baigujing" (literally translate to "White Bone Devil"). Featuring highly CGI-visuals, this no doubt would be a treat for folks during the Chinese New Year / CNY period!
Release is scheduled at 8 February 2016 in China, 5th in Hong Kong, and 6th in Singapore (IMDb).
The video embedded above features the dialog in Cantonese language, while all video posted below are heard in Mandarin/Chinese. No doubt Singapore'll get the Chinese version :p
