Beijing Times (Reporter Lv Lihong) – The film "Django Unchained" was urgently pulled from theaters on its first day of release in mainland China, and whether it can be re-released has drawn significant attention from movie fans. On April 13, some media reported that the film might be re-screened on April 30. In response, our newspaper interviewed officials from the production and publicity teams of "Django Unchained." Sony Columbia, the production company, stated that they are making every effort to have the film re-released, but it is still difficult to specify an exact date.\ On the 12th, the official Weibo account of "Django Unchained" updated: 'We will work hard on our own tasks to bring "Django Unchained" to everyone as soon as possible.' When asked whether the 'technical issues' that caused the film's temporary suspension have been resolved, a representative from the production side said that Sony Columbia is actively communicating and making efforts for the film's re-release. As for the specific date for re-release, it is not yet possible to determine.\ Industry insiders revealed that the film needs to be re-edited according to the new review comments, and any modifications must be approved and personally handled by director Quentin Tarantino. The version that was previously pulled was also edited by Quentin himself. Therefore, whether Quentin is willing to make the changes will be a key factor in determining if the film can be re-released in mainland China. So far, Tarantino has not responded to this matter.
Poster: It is probably because the visuals were too bloody to be allowed; after editing, the film probably... won't be as good as the original version.
