Topic: Film WB Politics Delay THREE KINGS Re-release
By Jack on September 3, 2004 11:27 AM

Bad news for director David O. Russell and his shocking and brilliant 1999 movie Three Kings. Warner Brothers had planned a fall re-release of the film starring George Clooney, Mark Wahlberg and Ice Cube but has now delayed the special editon and DVD after they deemed Russell's documentary "totally inappropriate" for release in the current political climate by Warner Brothers.

The documentary entitled 'Soldiers Pay' was set to be included in the DVD disc set and played (before?) the film in the theatrical re-releases.

WB Spokesperson Barbara Brogliatti said: "This came out to be a documentary that condemns, basically, war. This is supposed to be a special edition of Three Kings not a polemic about war."

Studio executives are now handing the now finished and paid for documentary back to Russell to distribute independently. "It was definitely a surprise and a disappointment," Russell said. "But they are being very gracious and letting me take it back."

David O. Russell is currently finalizing the nutty comedy I Heart Huckabees.

Why re-release it anyway? Sure, it was a decent movie but hardly worthy of a re-release only a few years after coming out. If you're going to give a movie a re-release in theaters have it be a classic like Raiders of the Lost Ark or Back to the Future.

What documentary?  Was it supposed to be a bonus feature or something?  Three Kings certainly isn't a documentary
