According to the film distribution agency Showeast on Jan. 5, director Chen Kaige, actress Cecilia Cheung and actor Hiroyuki Sanada will come to Seoul before the new fantasy feature film entitled The Promise starring Jang Dong-gun is released in the country on Jan. 26.
They will attend a press conference along with Jang after watching a preview of the film to be shown at Daehan Cinema on Jan. 19 at 2:00 p.m.
The Promise was produced by Chen to target the global film market. It was already released in Chinese-speaking areas such as China, Hong Kong, Taiwan and Singapore in mid-December, breaking previous box-office records.
The Promise portrays a tragic love triangle between Kunlun, a slave with superhuman abilities (played by Jang), a royal girl named Qing Cheng (played by Cheung), and the indefatigable General Guang Min (played by Sanada), with an unknown, timeless continent embroiled in a war as the backdrop.
The Promise was nominated for the best foreign film division of the 63rd Golden Globe Awards to be held on Jan. 16, and was also invited to the out-of-competition division of the Berlin International Film Festival.
