A Department of Defense document reportedly reveals that the agency has updated its policy to refuse to advise any movie that will be altered for Chinese censors.

I'm linking the article but the actual dunk is on redditors who see this and cheer, completely ignoring that this is an extension of how much power/influence the American military has over hollywood film. Want to film anything that might have the military in it? You gotta play ball babyyyy! Ever notice how weirdly patriotic and jingoistic almost every film that features a tank is? They played ball babbyyyy!!!

there was a good comment on reddit at least though https://old.reddit.com/r/entertainment/comments/14o3xt8/defense_department_declares_it_wont_work_with/jqbfo50/

    Just looking at a list of the most likely candidates to get film adaptations from the videogame world...I can only find a handful that would really benefit from DOD support in the first place. Quite frankly it would be a red flag if some of them (Metal Gear) got it in the first place.

    Although then again we shouldn't forget the fucking Monster Hunter debacle, lol. I can't wait for the Legend of Zelda film where Link calls in air support from the united state navy.
