HONG KONG -- Emperor Motion Pictures on Friday denied reports that the Jackie Chan drama "Shinjuku Incident" has met with resistance from the film bureau in Beijing, the government body that must approve films for release in China.

The $15 million drama, in which action star Chan plays an illegal immigrant working in Japan, originally was scheduled to open in Hong Kong and China this month.

Shot in Tokyo this year, the film now is scheduled for release in China in the first quarter of 2009, an EMP spokesperson told The Hollywood Reporter.

Reports in Chinese-language media said Friday that director Derek Yee's film was refused a release permit in China because of its negative portrayal of Chinese as laborers and gangsters in Japan.

EMP denied the reports and said the film had not yet been submitted for permit approval.

"Postproduction of the film is still under way, and the film has not yet been sent to the Chinese censors," the EMP spokesperson said.

The film also stars Ken Watanabe ("Letters From Iwo Jima") and Daniel Wu ("Protege").

I'm looking forward to this one. Hope for a good drama film with some action, kind of like "New Police Story" or "Crime Story", and it's got great potential especially because Hollywood hasn't ruined this particular film

Totally agree, the best JC are made in Asia. I enjoyed rumble in the bronx but when you see stuff like rush hour, it is a funny film but it just isn't Jackie :(

As its Hong Kong produced theres much higher chance of seeing classic Jackie Chan stunts but as it's reported as being a "drama" i wouldnt expect much of that, probably be more similar to Rob-B-Hood.

He's proven himself, to me anyway, as a very capable dramatic actor. Also, I would rather not see any fights/stunts if the story doesn't call for it. I'm very excited for it.
