Bong Joon-Ho shot down online reports earlier this month that Harvey Weinstein forced the "Snowpiercer" director to heavily edit his record breaking new film before his company would distribute it internationally, at a press event in France on Tuesday. The director is currently in the process of editing "Snowpiercer" an action-thriller about a group of people advancing to the front of a train, which sold 4 million tickets faster than any South Korean film in history, for US release.
"I came here after [working on] editing for the American version," Bong said, according to eNEWS. "I've never produced a new version for overseas premieres, and this is the first time I′m making a new version."
The director denied reports that after signing a distribution deal with Weinstein Company, he had been forced to heavily edit his film. "Weinstein is actually being pretty soft toward editing, probably because it's noticed how critics have praised the film and know how angry movie fans get over new edits," Bong said. "They even asked me which parts I want to include in the film," he said.
