    Default Edison Chen = No Batman for China

    Re-posted from nytimes

    No ‘Dark Knight’ for China

    Compiled by JACQUES STEINBERG
    Published: December 25, 2008

    Moviegoers in China will not get to experience Heath Ledger’s bone-chilling performance as the Joker in “The Dark Knight” — or any other aspect of the film for that matter. While “The Dark Knight” is already showing in Hong Kong, Warner Brothers has opted not to open it in China, or even offer it to government censors for their consideration, because of what the studio described as “prerelease conditions” and “cultural sensitivities,” The Associated Press reported. The studio may have been concerned that censors would be offended by scenes shot in Hong Kong, including those in which Batman nabs a gangster. Another potential point of conflict: the film includes a brief appearance by Edison Chen, above, the Hong Kong singer and record producer who appeared in sexually explicit photographs with several women that were posted on the Internet this year.
    even though he was only in it for like 15 seconds. -_-

    A very funny and stupid decision considering that millions of Chinese people in China already watch it from all the bootleg selling all across China

    They can just put mosaic watermark to Edison Chen face so that people will not be offended by him LOL

    Or maybe even less.

    Chen's cameo could *easily* be edited out of the film with no net loss to the plot, so as reasons go, this is pretty weak.

    Duuuh. I think it's more of the movie's criticisms of China that got it banned. It's just so like them to blame Edison than the contents of the script.
