Marco Muller, director of
the ongoing Venice Film Festival, is invited to watch the premiere
of a special edition of Peter Chan's war epic "The Warlords" in
Venice.
To pay his tribute to the Venice Film Festival, director Peter
Chan has made a special edition of his new war epic "The Warlords"
to be shown during the ongoing festival.
?
The six-minute short film describes the scene of a wretched war
field, reflecting the complicated relations between the main
characters.
Festival director Marco Muller was invited to watch the trailer.
He praised the short version as a shocking six minutes, saying that
it was the best present at Venice.
He said that he felt very regretful that the film missed this
year's festival. But, having watched the special version, he
thought it no bad thing to wait for such an opus. He was longing
for the film's debut in next year's festival.
Peter Chan was reportedly still working on his film's
post-production editing. The film is slated to open in Chinese
theaters in December.
Peter Chan's musical romance "Perhaps, Love" was made as the
close film of last year's Venice Film Festival.?
