MONSTER HUNT

A long time ago, in a galaxy far far away that vaguely looks like ancient China, humans declared war on monsters, driving them back towards the black mountains. Since then, a civil war has torn up the monster kingdom. After the death of the king, the pregnant monster queen has to flee towards human territory. Fortunately for our furry highness, she ends up with Tianyin, a young naive man with a tendency to turn the other cheek. Near death and desperate, the queen has no other choice but to transfer her royal son’s egg into Tianyin’s body hoping he will survive the process. But other dangers are threatening the pregnant man: a whirlwind of rebellious monsters passing the border without any green card, the monster hunters who see Tianyin as the goose with the golden eggs and, most important, that rich restaurant owner who dreams of making a royal omelet!

Raman Hui, a former employee of Dreamworks, having worked on Antz, Shrek and Madagascar, returns to China and teams up with the writer of New Police Story for one of Asia’s most ambitious movies: a blend of Hollywood and Chinese culture. The result, Monster Hunt, has become China’s second biggest box-office success.
