#THE LOST EMPIRE THE MONKEY KING FULL MOVIE SERIES#

The idea had occurred to Sherry to possibly option the story to make as a true feature film, even if he didnвЂ™t know all that it would entail, because thereвЂ™s more he would like to explore with the plot and the characters than the 45-minute time limit allowed to make it a short.

The now 27-year-old writer and director went against conventional wisdom, not to mention the explicitly laid out online rules advising denied applicants not to plead their cases, and asked for special dispensation allowing him to adapt вЂњThe Monkey.вЂќ A series of exchanges involving various agents and assistants followed and before long Sherry received a вЂњwe never do this sort of thingвЂќ e-mail saying that King himself had given permission for the first time ever to use a previously unapproved story. The response was humbling: вЂњThe MonkeyвЂќ was not on the approved list of short stories available so the request was obviously denied. Sherry found a story that wowed him, вЂњThe MonkeyвЂќ from the 1985 collection вЂњSkeleton Crew,вЂќ wrote a screenplay based on it and submitted it. More than 125 filmmakers have taken up the challenge over the years, the most famous being a then 20-year-old Frank Darabont, who went on to direct вЂњThe Shawshank Redemption,вЂќ вЂњThe Green MileвЂќ and вЂњThe Mist,вЂќ all based on King works.

The bestselling writer came up with the idea back in 1977 to give aspiring filmmakers and theater producers the chance to adapt one of his lesser-known stories for $1, with the stipulation that the films would not be shown commercially or for a profit. вЂњJust putting it out there and just saying, вЂHey, this is something I do, hereвЂ™s something that IвЂ™ve written, anyone that wants to look at it and give me feedback or just talk about it is welcome to,вЂ™ and I think you just find those people kind of come to you when you just say what you want and shout вЂhelpвЂ™ for as long as you can.вЂќДЄfter laboring on his first short film project, one that was half destroyed when a storm caused his computer server to crash, he decided to have a go at horror master Stephen KingвЂ™s Dollar Baby program.

Most of the drive was just the writing and the storytelling and coming up with cool shot ideas and twists and then the actual narration of it all.вЂќДЄnd he finds the collaborative efforts of others in the film community вЂ“ particularly in this region вЂ“ extremely welcome and inviting. It was more just the stories and writing. I never really had a love or desire for the technical elements of the filmmaking. вЂњIвЂ™m still not very technically proficient with a camera,вЂќ he says, вЂњIвЂ™m learning as I move through these processes and as I work with people on things. The fortuitous sidelining of his education brought him into the big leagues, but without all the mechanical know-how. Growing up loving movies, Sherry had never entertained it as a career choice until he was around 21 and that led to his stint at UAlbany where he figured he could at least get some hands-on experience with the schoolвЂ™s equipment. вЂњThe first week of shooting is finals week and I promptly dropped out and ran down to New York, and then worked down there for about a year.вЂќ Less than a full year in and a former student-turned-assistant director/producer returned to give a talk at the school, and he left with a newly dropped-out Sherry in tow as a production assistant on the Netflix romantic comedy, вЂњSet It Up,вЂќ starring Lucy Liu, Taye Diggs, Zoey Deutch and Pete Davidson. He wore a blue cap.After graduating high school, Sherry left his tiny town of Laurens, just north of Oneonta in Otsego County, to attend the College of Saint Rose, but it wasnвЂ™t the right fit, so he headed homeward to Oneonta and another major, only to try again at the University at Albany. He also had an eyepatch, indicating he lost it from unknown causes, and a scar underneath it. The Monkey Man wore a reddish jacket over striped robes and wore sandals. Sallah notices and takes JoneвЂ™s from him. However, his plan to poison them fails when his monkey eats a date and dies. Meanwhile, The Monkey Man poisons a plate of Dates that were going to served to Jones and Sallah. Later in the film, Monkey Man sends his pet monkey to spy on Jones and his friend, Sallah, as they travel to an old man who may be able to read the ancient markers on MarionвЂ™s amulet. However, the monkey does give away MarionвЂ™s hiding spot and leads to her capture and faked death. The agents then send a group of hired Cairo Thugs and a swordsman to deal with Jones, all unsuccessfully.

He then reports to the German Agents of JonesвЂ™s whereabouts. After being hired by two German agents to spy on Indiana Jones and Marion Ravenwood, Monkey Man spys on them utilizing his pet monkey.
