'The Eight Hundred' - highly controversial war film finally given China release date


BEIJING, Aug 2 (LA Variety-Reuters): Delayed by over a year for mysterious political reasons, epic Chinese war film "The Eight Hundred" has finally locked down a date for release in theaters.

It will open in conventional and Imax cinemas in China from Aug 21, making it one of the first outings for a high-profile local film since Chinese cinemas hesitantly returned to operation in late July.
