Pixels edited for Chinese rental
The fantasy movie "Pixels", based on popular 8-bit games in the past, has lost some of the scenes that could cause "negative reactions in China." The Gamespot edition reports about this with reference to its sources. In the script of the picture, which Sony studio management discussed in 2013, there were scenes of the destruction of the Great Wall by alien invaders, episodes in which the responsibility for the alien invasion was attributed to China, and the country's Communist Party was also mentioned. All of these scenes were ultimately not included in the final script. It is noteworthy that the episodes with the destruction of the Indian Taj Mahal or the American Washington Monument did not confuse the creators of the picture. All the tricks of the censors did not help the Pixels to become the leader of the American box office. In its first weekend, the movie only made $ 24 million, which precludes a payback at home. The production budget of the project is $ 110 million. The key roles in Pixels were played by Adam Sandler, Jane Krakowski, Peter Dinklage, Michelle Monaghan, Ashley Benson, Sean Bean, Josh Gad, Kevin James, Brian Cox, Lanie Kasan and other famous actors. The movie was directed by Chris Columbus. The Topic of Article: Pixels edited for Chinese rental. |
