Clint Eastwood’s 'Hereafter' pulled from Japanese theatres

A division of Warner Brothers has pulled Clint Eastwood's Hereafter from theatres in Japan following last week's devastating earthquake and resulting tsunami.

"In deference to the tragic unfolding events in Japan, we have pulled Hereafter from the theatres and will postpone the Japanese release of The Rite (which was scheduled to open this coming weekend) to a later date," the Telegraph quoted Warner Bros. as saying in a statement.

Hereafter, directed by Clint Eastwood starring Matt Damon, follows three people who are questioning death and what may or may not come after.
