        　　　At the Cannes Film Festival in France, Chinese director Wuershan has been giving movie buffs a sneak preview of "Painted Skin 2", the sequel to his 2008 hit thriller. Cast and crew members of the Chinese fantasy held a news conference over the weekend.
        　　Called simply "Painted Skin 2", the movie picks up where the 2008 award winner left off.
        Wuershan, director of "Painted Skin 2", said, "Like the first one, this movie deals with love and sacrifice. The main character is played by the same actress, and the other main actors like Zhao Wei and Chen Kun are also from the first movie. So I think audiences will be very familiar."
               The director and cast are in Cannes to promote the film.
               The story of the sequel is once again set in a mythological ancient realm. It features high octane fight scenes, special effects, and elaborate costumes.
              Chen Tingjia, actress of "Painted Skin 2", said, "I really like the costumes. I think they create a very mysterious aura and involve a lot of animal elements. I can definitely say we haven't seen this before."
              Although the cast and crew are hoping to drum up international interest, the movie is quintessentially Chinese, and differs from many western fantasy films.
              Painted Skin 2 is set for release in China in June.
