A sequel to director Gordon Chen's romantic fantasy story "Painted Skin" recently started shooting in Dalian city, northeastern China's Liaoning province.
Adopted from Chinese novelist Pu Songling's famous work "Erotic Ghost Story" or "Liao Zhai Zhi Yi", the first installment of the movie tells about a love triangle that takes place between a human couple and a fox spirit. Action star Donnie Yen, along with mainland actors Chen Kun, Zhao Wei, Zhou Xun and Sun Li starred in the film released in 2008. It pocketed 230 million RMB or about 33million US dollars at the box office.
The second installment will be an adventure story more than a love tale. It tells of when the couple's son grows up and makes a journey to the west to seek the source of eternal youth for his parents. During the trip, he conquers many difficulties which are given to him by some powerful demons.
Donnie Yen, Zhao Wei, Zhou Xun and Sun Li will join the film again, and mainland actor Huang Xiaoming will replace Chen Kun to play the male lead, Wang Sheng and his son Wang Ying.
