A distributor in Japan is wiling to release Angelina Jolie?s controversial WWII prisoner of war drama ?Unbroken.?
The film, stars Jack O?Connell as WWII bombardier and Olympic medallist, Louis Zamperini.
The picture was last year the subject of protests and threats by Japanese right wingers. They persuaded Toho-Towa, the usual distributor of Universal?s titles, to delay the film?s release indefinitely. The film will now open in February 2016 ? though on a much smaller scale.
Jolie repeatedly called for ?Unbroken??s Japan bow. She said that the film was not, as opponents claimed, anti-Japanese, despite its portrayal of a sadistic POW camp guard, by pop singer/actor Miyavi.
