In our “Why am I not in any way surprised? dept., The Weinstein Co. announced today that Shanghai, starring Jeffrey Dean Morgan, has had its release date pushed back “indefinitely”.
Shanghai now joins The Accidental Husband and Days of Wrath in that special purgatory of unreleased films reserved for Jeffrey Dean Morgan fans.
And with rumors that his role in All Good Things has been cut, what looked like a great year for Jeffrey Dean Morgan fans is turning into long stretch between Taking Woodstock and Invasion of Privacy in February. (Time to pull out those Grey’s Anatomy DVDs!).
And if this isn’t enough of a reason to make your Tuesday feel like a Monday, under the cut there’s a summary of Shanghai’s opening scene. So you can see just what we’re missing.
Enjoy:)
Shanghai, 1941. Moving along rooftops of the CHAPEI SECTOR we stop at a building with BIRD CAGES and a SHED on the roof…Inside a DINGY ROOM an AMERICAN MAN (CONNER) and a JAPANESE WOMAN (SUMIKO) make love. Conner tells Sumiko he will get her out that night and leaves. Sumiko cries and lights a cigarette with a book of matches illustrated with a GOLDEN BAT. The match flares brightly.
