    Edison Chen (陳冠希) had his scenes in an upcoming movie pulled yesterday, as a result of the recent sex photos scandal that has implicated him and famale celebrities, including Gillian Chung (鍾欣桐), Bobo Chan (陳文媛), Cecilia Cheung (張栢芝) and Yu Chiu (趙頌茹).

    Columbia Pictures announced that its film Jump <跳出去>, a joint production with Stephen Chow (周星馳)'s company Star Overseas, which was due for release 1 May, has now been put back until 1 October. The Hong Kong-made film was to star Edison alongside Kitty Zhang (張雨綺).

    Stephen, who is currently out of town, has yet to comment.

    A spokesperson for Star Overseas confirmed that some scenes from the movie are to be reshot, but did not say whether or not the actor to be replaced is Edison.

    Director Stephen Fung (馮德倫) confirmed that he had received the news from Star Overseas. He said that he now awaits the return of Stephen Chow and the arrival of a Columbia Pictures representative, so they can recast. He added that he was completely satisfied with the professionalism of all actors who had worked on the film. However, he refused to comment on the scandal involving Edison.

    Edison had apologized for the scandal in a video message released on Monday.

    I am getting really tired of the photo scandal and its numerous spin off "news"... And it does seems to me that Edison is getting the tougher end of the deal out of it. I don't know, guess gender discrimination is still an unfamiliar concept in conservative Hong Kong <_<

    I don't think he was in it in the first place, was he?
    I checked IMDB and it didn't have him on it.

    Could be a publicity stunt to draw more attention on the movie.
