New retelling of Ne Zha gets IMAX debut

Almost a brand-new story, the upcoming film is set around 3,000 years from when the rebellious war to overthrow tyranny is depicted in the novel.

Ne Zha, a famous figure in the novel who can transform to a superhero-like deity with three heads and six arms, is reimagined as Li Yunxiang, a young motorcycle rider. In the fictional city of Donghai (East Sea), Li will face off against his foe, the king of East Sea and his third son, who are also reborn in the modern world.
