Here's some bad news for those waiting for Jiang Wen's latest movie, The Sun Rises Again.
The romantic drama directed by the Chinese actor and director had wrapped up shooting in its Chinese locations in March with one overseas shoot remaining. However, the overseas shoot may be delayed since lead actress Zhou Yun, rumored to be Jiang's girlfriend, is reportedly pregnant.
Jiang said he would have to wait to shoot the last part on location in Belarus or New Zealand. But Zhou's pregnancy, reportedly in its fourth to fifth month, will influence the shoot.
