The Promise Suffers from Piracy
Adjust font size:

The most expensive film ever made in China, The Promise, has been hijacked by pirates, who are showing the film on a television station in 16 parts and charging viewers two yuan per show to sneak a peek. 

 

The Promise, directed by Chinese helmer Chen Kaige, who first rose to fame 12 years ago with Farewell My Concubine, cost US$35million to make --not huge by Hollywood's extravagent standards, but very spendy for a Chinese flick.

 

The film is China's official entry for Best Foreign Language film in the Academy Awards, but has not been very acclaimed by Chinese film critics.
