Iron Man 3... Chinese Version?
Iron Man 3 is expected to be one of the biggest movie openings of the year according to an an article written by John Horn and Gina McIntyre. But thats not the biggest news. The article titled,‘Iron Man 3′: Chinese version unavailable to U.S. audiences, for now, is all about how Disney’s Marvel Entertainment and China’s DMG Entertainment joined forces to make the superhero flick an international collaboration.This is huge for comic fans and moviegoers! The film being directed internationally is similar to the process of what happened with the Japanese film “Godzilla, King of the Monsters!” in 1956. The scenes for Iron Man 3 that are shot in China include a few new characters whom are which doctors and played by Wang Xueqi and Fan Bingbing. Shane Black, The co-writer and director did not direct the scenes that were filmed in China, and in fact the main character of the film, Robert Downey Jr. did not go to China for filming. The scenes are simply being added in, however, they will not be shown in American theaters. It would be awesome, and probably beneficial to box office sales, for there to be an option as to whether you would like to view the film in American or Chinese version.
The film is sure to make a lot of money because China has the second highest box office returns behind the US. Hollywood produces so many films that viewed all over the world and although China contributes to Hollywood Studios less than quarter in ticket sales, the returns can absolutely huge. The film is compared to the film “Avatar,” which grossed more than $200 million in China.
I do not know about you, but I am excited to see Iron Man 3. Let me know what you think about the Chinese version of the film not being shown in American theaters.
