I was excited when I first heard about this film because although I've not read the book the premise sounds really interesting and like something that could be really visually stunning. Yet the original release date got scrapped and everything has gone quiet. Is the project ever going to see the light of day? I wonder what's causing all the problems and why there has been no marketing at all despite some big name stars featuring in the film.

Trailer. I don't know what to think. It's so different from the book.
I've not read the book but I'm a great admirer of Kaya Scodelario, and the concept for the film has fascinated me since I first heard of it so I think I will enjoy it regardless. At the very least it looks like a beautifully made picture. I'll be watching, and I'm very excited there is finally some news about it. Thanks for sharing the link! :)
shareI'm a fan of Kaya as well which is why I actually read the book. You're right, regardless of the changes made it looks like it will be visually stunning and hopefully we get some good performances even if the story seems a bit "watered down" to fit with a more Hollywood take.
shareI wish. But probably not.
shareGood question. Is it finished?
Whatever you are, be a good one.
I haven't read anything about the reason for the hold up, but since 3 of the producers are ethnic Chinese, you can bet there's been pressure from Maoland. These days major studios have to compromise characters and plots to apease the commmies so their movies can be released to that giant population waiting to spend all those ugly Mao bucks. (Check out China Uncensored on YouTube for some latest examples.) Only 35 movies from outside the PRC are accepted by the regime per year. But since they're buying up Hollywood, they can get around that limit by being China owned. Maybe Australian studios aren't as willing to sell out so easily. No doubt it was those producers who were behind trying to break-in BingBing to an international audience. Another reason for the hold up could be that this year there was already a Chinese movie about a mermaid. And commies don't like competition.
Under our clothes, we are all naked! Breasts, genitals or buttocks are what define nudity. Not barechested men, cleavage, slit skirts, shorts or swimsuits, nor bodies under sheets or wrapped in towels.
They have it set for a January 2022 release right now. I guess they just want it out of the way...eight years later.

I thought it was another Kingsman sequel. The fonts look similar.
shareBeats me.
