An Australian horror film, *Together*, has ignited widespread criticism after being digitally altered in China to replace a same-sex couple with a heterosexual one. The film, starring Dave Franco and Alison Brie, was shown in select Chinese cinemas during advance screenings on September 12. Moviegoers quickly noticed discrepancies after screenshots of the original scenes circulated online, revealing significant edits. The film, which was scheduled for a public release on September 19, has yet to be shown in theaters as of Thursday. The global distributor, Neon, condemned the unauthorized edits, stating they did not approve of the changes and demanded the altered version cease distribution. Directed by Michael Shanks, *Together* follows a couple who encounter a mysterious force in the countryside, impacting their lives and relationship. The film premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in January and received largely positive reviews, earning a 90% score on Rotten Tomatoes. However, the Chinese version faced backlash for modifying scenes, including adding steam to obscure nudity and replacing a man’s face with a woman’s in a same-sex couple scene. References to the relationship were also removed. Critics on platforms like Douban called the edits ‘distortion and misrepresentation,’ with one user stating, ‘Not only did they alter the plot, but they also disrespected the actor’s sexual orientation.’ Neon criticized the Chinese distributor, Hishow, which has yet to comment. This incident follows China’s use of AI to alter sexual content in films like *Oppenheimer* and its broader crackdown on LGBT themes, including the arrest of writers of gay erotic fiction since February.
