Director Feng Xiaogang's latest film "Aftershock" will launch on the big screen on Thursday (July 22). The production company, Huayi Brothers, told potential viewers that they should arrive at screenings early so as not to miss the extended trailer of the suspense film "Detective Dee and the Mystery of the Phantom Flame" before "Aftershock".

Directed by Hong Kong filmmaker Tsui Hark, the film "Detective Dee" stars Andy Lau, Carina Lau and Li Bingbing.

In addition, Huayi Brothers also said that "Detective Dee" is scheduled to open in cinemas on September 29.

According to a report by the Oriental Morning Post, "Detective Dee" is another heavyweight work produced by Huayi Brothers after this summer's "Aftershock". It was sold to an impressive 11 markets in 3 days at this year's Cannes Film Festival.

The production company released a trailer last month and offered a preview of the plot for the first time. However, the CEO of Huayi Brothers, Wang Zhonglei, said that director Tsui Hark and screenwriter Chen Kuo-Fu have created a Tang empire which is far beyond anyone's imagination.

"Audiences could only see the tip of the iceberg in the first trailer," said Wang. "With the new extended trailer released, people are able to look into the extraordinary world more closely."
