“The film is about Shanghai at that period. Shanghai is a character in the film, its human side, what was so unique about it. There must have been a misunderstanding and I hope they reconsider their decision,” Medavoy (the producer) said in an e-mail. “This obviously comes as a shock to all of us. We don’t know exactly why we have been turned down,” director Mikael Hafstrom was quoted as saying by Hollywood trade publication Variety’s Asian news Web site.

Calls to China’s Film Bureau rang unanswered.
