The mainland public release date for Ang Lee's spy epic Lust, Caution will be postponed by one month to October 26, which means that it won't attend the National Day Holiday box office competition with The Sun Also Rises, scheduled to be released on September 21.
The Sohu Entertainment quoted Gao Jun, chief of the Beijing New Film Association, as saying that the production company of the film has informed them of the postpone. But it didn't give the exact reason for it, according to Gao.
The latest opus of Ang Lee, Lust, Caution, held its world premiere in Venice on August 31, and won unanimous applause from the media and the audience. It has recently been given an NC-17 rating in the United States, signifying that admission to the film will not be granted to anyone under the age of 17. And some reports have suggested that some of sex scenes would be cut when it opens in Chinese theatres.
Meanwhile, actor-turned-director, Jiang Wen's third directorial work the Sun Also Rises, will be screened during Golden Week, along with many other domestically-produced movies, such as Invisible Wings and Hu Tong Li De Yangguang or Sunshine in the Alley. |
