The movie's star-studded cast that includes Hong Kong action star Donnie Yen and mainland actors Vicky Zhao, Zhou Xun, Betty Sun and Chen Kun, were all present at the event.
To be released on September 26, "Painted Skin" is believed to be a horror film with a romantic twist. At the press conference, film director Gordan Chan said that the audiences who expect the film to be a typical horror movie are in for a surprise.
However, some media raised an eyebrow saying movie buffs expecting to see a thriller may be disappointed when it turns out to be a love story.
A highlight of the film is that its actors will be breaking free from typecasting to portray distinctly different characters than they normally play.
