Chow Yun-fat (pictured) will play the Jade Emperor - who in Chinese folk culture is the ruler of heaven and all realms of existence - in The Monkey King, a 3D film adapted from the classic novel Journey to the West.
The Jade Emperor rules over numerous gods, and in the film, Chow spearheads a stellar cast.
Donnie Yen will play the Monkey King, whose havoc almost destroys the Jade Emperor's palace.
More than 10 A-listers, including Kelly Chen, Cecilia Cheung and Peter Ho, are in the cast.
Chow says he will be spending four hours on his make-up every day. To play the "CEO of heaven" is no joke, he says.
