10 Films Delayed Due To Coronavirus
10. Blue Story
Blue Story has had an incredibly difficult release. The controversial gang flick made headlines during its initial release last year, after a riot broke out during a showing. The violent incident caused cinema chains across the UK to pull the film, but an agreement had been drawn up to resume showings a few weeks later.
Sadly, the film is caught up in more trouble. As Paramount prepared to release Blue Story in the US, it once again faced an unforeseen drama.
Blue Story is an adaptation of the popular Rapman YouTube channel, directed by the internet star himself. Produced by Joy Gharoro-Akpojotor And Damian Jones, the gritty drama focuses on a story based on Rapman's own experiences. Two friends get involved in a bitter 'postcode war' and become enemies, as the film tries to explore the pointless nature of gang culture in London.
Currently, the feature has no fixed date after its already delayed 20th March release has been cancelled.
