A less bloody version of Tarantino's Django Unchained for China

Los Angeles: 'Django Unchained' will open in China with a slightly muted version of the film's original bloodshed, according to the film's mainland Chinese distributors.Zhang Miao, director of Sony Pictures' Chinese branch, said director Tarantino has "agreed on making slight adjustments to the film for different markets, and this adjustment for him is progress rather than a compromise", said the Hollywood Reporter.[caption id="attachment_693260" align="alignleft" width="380"] A still from the movie 'Django Unchained'.

You can give him suggestions, but it must be him who does (the tuning)," he added."Django Unchained" will be the first time a Tarantino film is released commercially in mainland Chinese cinemas.PTI
