Hacksaw Ridge’ Financier Files Motion to Drop Defamation…

China-based Kylin Pictures is seeking to dismiss a defamation suit filed by Bliss Media over a dispute over production credits Kylin Pictures, a China-based production and film finance company that is suing distributor Bliss Media over the latter’s removal of Kylin’s credit from the Chinese theatrical version of “Hacksaw Ridge,” filed a separate motion Tuesday to dismiss defamation charges leveled by Bliss in the wake of the credit dispute. Bliss sued Kylin in Los Angeles Superior Court in January, accusing the company of defamation over statements its CEO Leo Shi Young made at a press conference and reprinted in Chinese media calling Bliss CEO Wei Han a “swindler,” among other less-than-flattering terms.
