Wong Kar Wai said, "We did a lot of revision, some data was damaged in the process and we added something else instead. The intention is to make a version and keep it forever. "

The original version was digitally restored to take on a brighter hue. And the music and narrative were altered, and some violent scenes deleted. But only the box office will prove if the story can move today's movie-goers. The film is set for release by the end of the month.
