China has blocked production of âShanghai,â a Hollywood film about an American who investigates a friendâs death in Japanese-occupied Shanghai, The Associated Press reported. Luan Guozhi, the director of international cooperation at the Chinese Film Bureau, declined to reveal the governmentâs concerns, but said the filmmakers could alter the script and resubmit their application. The Japanese invasion of China during World War II remains a sensitive topic, and other filmmakers have had difficulty winning approval from China for projects set in the same era. Variety has reported that the cast includes John Cusack, Gong Li, right, and Ken Watanabe. Hundreds of thousands of dollars have already been spent on production, and the director, Mikael Hafstrom, has been in China since September preparing to film. Variety reported that he planned to move the production to Hong Kong.

Tycho:  We grabbed a couple demos yesterday afternoon to see if we were missing anything, specifically Tenchu Z and Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End, and came away with the expected comic materials.  I think Tenchu Z may get explored in a more robust fashion in Monday's strip, but after the loading is complete the demo flashes up one of those screens that is completely grown over with control instructions.  It wasn't even an especially bad one, and there are very, very bad ones, like the one in the demo for StarFire Saga V: Laserion.  It was merely an assault on the mind, paralyzing in its way.
