BEIJING -- Chinese helmer Jiang Wen's "The Sun Also Rises," originally due for a
Cannes' berth, will now be released Sept. 21 after receiving its premiere at the Venice Film Festival.
Jiang,
who also stars in the film, appeared at a news conference in Beijing
with fellow cast members Joan Chen and Jaycee on Sunday in Beijing.
Zhou Yun, Jiang's partner who also features in the pic, did not attend
the news conference.
The movie was originally expected to screen at
this year's Cannes Film Festival, before being rejected at the last minute.
The Chinese press has reported that this was because some parts of the film were "mangled during
post-production."
The film had been previously set for nationwide
release in June. Pic took one year to make, cost $10 million and is
Jiang's third outing as helmer.
