The film, a mob thriller set in Los Angeles during the 40s and 50s, starring Sean Penn and Ryan Gosling, will hit theatres on January 11, 2013, rather than the scheduled September 7 debut, Warner Bros spokeswoman said on Thursday. The studio is considering whether to edit or delete the scene in which mobsters burst through a movie screen, open firing at a theatre audience, a source familiar with the studio’s plans told Reuters. The studio declined to comment on whether the movie will be changed.
