The Daniel Craig starring 007 flick marks the first time that a Bond film has made it past the strict Chinese Film censor Board, as it has rejected almost every 007 movie before it’s even considered for release.
The film’s studio Sony were apparently looking to roll out the movie in China on Friday, the same day it opens in other parts of the globe, to prevent piracy. But the studio was forced to postpone the Chinese release until 30th January due to a national blackout, a period that occurs two or three times a year when the Chinese government temporarily blocks foreign releases to screen domestic flicks.
Based on the first 007 novel from Fleming, shows how a suave British secret agent came to be on Her Majesty's Secret Service. French beauty Eva Green stars as the Bond babe, reports E! Online.
