I don't know this book series nor if this film will have any martial arts, but I really like Wuershan's work, particularly TbtC&tS (http://www.kungfumagazine.com/forum/showthread.php?58753-The-Butcher-the-Chef-and-the-Swordsman) and PS2 (http://www.kungfumagazine.com/forum/showthread.php?57724-Painted-Skin-2-The-Resurrection).

A press conference was held today in Beijing for The Ghouls 鬼吹燈之尋龍訣, director Wuershan 烏爾善 and producer CHEN Kuo-fu 陳國富's long-rumoured adaptation of popular adventure novel series Ghost Blows Out the Light.
A co-production between Huayi Brothers Media Corporation 華誼兄弟傳媒股份有限公司, Beijing Enlight Pictures Co Ltd 北京光線影業有限公司 and Wanda Media Co Ltd 萬達影視傳媒有限公司, the hugely popular online novel series is about the adventures of a former soldier and his partner trying to undo a curse by visiting mythical sites across China.
The series includes eight books, with China Film Group Corporation 中國電影集團公司 holding the adaptation right to the first four instalments and Wanda holding the rights to the last four. However, Wanda's adaptation does have the advantage of having original author ZHANG Muye 張牧野 (aka, 天下霸唱) as a co-writer with CHANG Chia-lu 張家魯.
According to Chinese media, China Film Group's adaptation – co-produced with Le Vision Pictures Co Ltd 樂視影業(北京)有限公司 — will also begin shooting this year with LU Chuan 陸川 directing. However, no official announcement has been made.
An adaptation was also announced in 2007 with Johnnie TO 杜琪峯 as producer. However, the script was not approved at the time due to the story's supernatural and superstitious elements.
The Ghouls is set to start production in August with theatrical release already announced for 18 Dec 2015.
