De Palma's film censored over lawsuit fears
Theater director Brian De Palma had to censor a montage of Republic of Iraq war casualties in his new film 'Redacted' on the insisting of insurance companies, world Health Organization feared relatives of the victims would eugene Sue the filmmakers.
In an interview with Conglomerate Magazine De Palma said: "The insurance companies (didn't require their faces shown). They think that a congenator of a dead baby will project the flick in the theater and be so distressed that they'll bring a suit against us."
'The Untouchables' director's anti-war film initially ended with a harrowing montage of real life fatalities, however the scene has been re-cut to disguise the victims' identities.
In September last year, De Palma received the Venezia Film Festival's prestigious Best Director Atomic number 47 Social lion award for his celluloid.
'Redacted' is due for sacking in Irish cinemas after this month.
