Johnny Nguyen's Banned CHO LON Is (Briefly) Leaked Online

I am absolutely shocked and sad as if someone was killing my child. This is just a draft with incomplete content, sound, light, color, special effects and frame rhythm. I don't want anyone to see this version because it's like a raw meal! We've spent countless efforts and billions to make it perfect for the audience. And now I have to endure seeing people watching a bad draft version and evaluating the movie through it. People who leaked the film is a lack of knowledge and too cruel to Cho Lon and our brothers. Hopefully, he'd be arrested and sent to the court.

When Cho Lon was banned by Vietnamese censors last month, it officially spelled the end of the film's existence, as a domestic ban also prohibits the film from being sold or screened overseas. But now, a movie banned by the State was made public, albeit briefly, for anyone to see. If caught, those responsible for the leak could be charged with "spreading banned materials".
