The Combination was released last Thursday into Australian cinemas nationwide with great press reviews particularly from the ABC's David Stratton with a rating of 4 and a half stars. But by Saturday night the film had been pulled from Greater Union's four Sydney screens due to two incidents at the company's Parramatta cinema complex. The Police say that the violence was not related to the film and no arrests or charges were made, but the filmmakers including myself are very disappointed at the GU decision to pull the film, preventing up to 60% of the likely Sydney audience having access to screenings.
However, GU say the suspension could be temporary and screenings may resume if they feel staff and patrons will be 'safe'. I hope as many people as possible will be able to see this exciting Australian film in cinemas over the next few weeks. Stay tuned.
