One theatre ended up cancelling the planned screening after receiving a wave of protests against the film, which is based on the 42-year-old suspect, Tetsuya Yamagami. This time, a special 50-minute version of the movie was released that was filmed in eight days from late August. The full-length version is scheduled to be completed in November and to be shown at theatres across the country. The special version was to be screened at 13 theatres, but the plan was shelved at one theatre due to a series of threatening phone calls and emails. “Protests were received even by the commercial facility housing the theatre,” an official of the theatre said.
