Together pulled from Chinese theatres over unauthorised' edit of gay couple
"Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging. At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story."
"Neon pulled Together, starring Alison Brie and Dave Franco, from Chinese theatres after finding the local distributor made an unauthorised edit to a scene changing a man's face into a woman's to show a gay couple as heterosexual. The horror movie directed by Michael Shanks follows Franco and Brie as they move to the countryside and encounter a mysterious force that causes horrific changes to their bodies."
The Independent relies on reader donations to fund on-the-ground reporting and maintains free access by avoiding paywalls. Neon acquired global distribution rights for Together at Sundance for $15m and sold Chinese distribution rights to Hishow. Hishow made unauthorised edits for the Chinese release, reportedly replacing a male character's face with a woman's to present a gay couple as heterosexual and removing certain sex scenes. Viewers flagged the alterations after side-by-side comparisons circulated on social media. Neon requested the film be pulled from Chinese theatres and stated it does not approve of the unauthorised edits.
