Producers call off premiere of 鈥楪one with the Bullets鈥
Print Edition
THE premiere of Chinese director Jiang Wen’s latest film, “Gone with the Bullets,” has been delayed due to last-minute demands by censors, its producers said yesterday.
“Gone with the Bullets,” which revolves around a beauty pageant in 1920s Shanghai and is a follow-up to Jiang’s 2010 political satire “Let the Bullets Fly,” was set to premiere in Beijing last night.
But in a message posted earlier in the day on WeChat, the film’s producers, Buliyehu Film and Culture Company, announced that the event had been called off.
“We deeply regret to inform you that we must make some adjustments to the film due to new circumstances arising during the final stage of the censorship process, and the premiere will therefore be postponed,” the message read.
“We will devote all our energy and thought to the final part and then report back to our dear fans,” it added. “The meal is remembered long after the wait is forgotten!”
The film’s December 18 release date remains unchanged, the producers said.
Jiang’s 2000 black comedy, “Devils on the Doorstep,” won the Grand Prix at Cannes but was banned in China, and Jiang reportedly barred from directing for seven years.
It was unclear what aspects of Jiang’s new film bothered the censors.
The Hollywood Reporter said “Gone with the Bullets” had topped US$19.5 million in advance ticket sales as of late November.
