AI firm Utopai Studios and the Chinese production company Huace have teamed up for a fully AI-generated adaptation of the Chinese literary classic “Journey to the West,” the first project in their strategic partnership.

“Journey to the West: The Lost Five Hundred Years“ will explore the “untold origin” story of how the 1592 mythological book’s protagonist — the imprisoned Monkey King, Sun Wukong — would grow to protect a monk, Jin Chanzi. Utopai did not immediately disclose whether any directors, writers or actors were attached to the project.
