Warner Bros. postpones 'Gangster Squad'

The Warner Bros. movie studio postponed until early next year the release of "Gangster Squad," a crime drama featuring a scene with a movie theater shooting that prompted concern following last Friday's fatal attack in Colorado.

The film, a mob thriller set in Los Angeles during the 1940s and '50s, starring Sean Penn and Ryan Gosling, will reach theaters on January 11, 2013, rather than its originally scheduled September 7 debut, a Warner Bros. spokeswoman said on Thursday.

The studio is considering whether to edit or delete the scene in which mobsters burst through a movie screen while opening fire on a theater audience, a person familiar with the studio's plans told Reuters.

The Warner Bros. spokeswoman declined to comment on whether the movie will be changed.

The studio acted after a lone gunman shot and killed 12 people on July 20 during a midnight showing of Batman movie "The Dark Knight Rises," another Warner Bros. release.

Just after the incident, Warner Bros. pulled "Gangster Squad" promotional trailers that featured the shooting scene and were running ahead of "Dark Knight Rises" in some theaters.

Once Upon a Time in China #1

Tells the story of Wong Fei Hung, legendary Cantonese martial arts master and folk hero of turn of the century China.
Genre: Foreign Film - Chinese
Rating: R
Release Date: 17-SEP-2002
Media Type: DVDThe first of a popular series (six in all) starring the charismatic and athletically adept Jet Li. Li plays legendary folk hero Wong Fei Hong, a late 19th century southern Chinese healer and kung fu master. The story begins with Western powers (American, British, and French) encroaching on the city of Canton. Wong is asked by the Black Flag army to safeguard the town by creating his own militia of kung fu experts. His assistants include the butcher "Porky" (Kent Cheng), a Chinese-American named Bucktooth So (Jacky Cheung), and his westernized "Auntie" Yee (Rosamund Kwan), a non-blood-related childhood friend for whom he holds a special affection. But the Westerners aren't the only problem in Canton. The Sha Ho gang terrorizes local businesses and has begun dealing with the Americans in exporting Chinese for slave labor and prostitution. A down-on-his-luck kung fu master named Iron Vest Yim (Yan Yee Kwan) has decided he needs to defeat Wong to open a school and Leung Fu (Jackie Chan contemporary Yuen Biao), a traveling opera troupe groupie, just keeps getting in the way. This epic martial-arts film showcases Li's amazing fighting and acrobatic skills and established Tsui Hark as a top-notch action film director. The final fight scene between Wong and Yim entails a dizzying orchestration of kicks and punches while teeter-tottering on ladders. The DVD features star bios, filmographies, trailers, and clips from early Wong Fei Hong films that starred veteran actor Kwan Tak Hing. --Shannon Gee
