And for 2018:  Dream Journey 5, Dream Journey Sidestory, another Journey to the West (aka Gan Wen Lu Zai He Fang in 3D), and The Monkey King 3 (with Aaron Kwok) - just the ones announced so far.  More recently announced - Million Demons City, The Monkey King, Through Bone Mirror, and Wukong's Dairy (maybe that's supposed to be Diary).  And a Legends of Monkey King TV series, as well as Women's Kingdom.
