Warners to re-shoot, re-edit controversial sequence.
Warner Bros. has shifted Gangster Squad from its original September 7 slot to January 11, 2013 in order to re-shoot and re-edit a key set-piece in the wake of last week's theater massacre in Aurora, Colorado.
The period film -- which stars Sean Penn, Ryan Gosling, Emma Stone and Josh Brolin -- featured a bloody gangland shootout in a movie theater in which several patrons are gunned down. The filmmakers will now re-conceive and re-shoot the sequence, a move that could not have been done with just six weeks until its original release, claims Deadline.
Warner Bros. pulled the movie's trailers from domestic theaters following Friday's tragedy.
