'14 Blades' Premieres in Beijing
Martial-arts film "14 Blades" premiered in Beijing on Tuesday in the absence of female lead Zhao Wei.
Zhao was absent due to "personal reasons," according to the film's production team.
Rumors that the popular actress is pregnant have not been confirmed by neither Zhao nor her agent.
At the premiere, lead actor Donnie Yen led other cast members Wu Chun, Kate Tsui and Qi Yuwu in sharing behind-the-scenes tidbits.
"14 Blades" is about a Ming Dynasty secret agent (Donnie Yen) who fights to uncover a conspiracy. It was directed by Daniel Lee.
Chinese folk singer-songwriter Sa Dingding, who won a BBC World Music Award in 2008 for her previous album "Alive", sings the movie's theme song.
The movie will hit local theaters on February 4.
