Another setback for Gangster Squad: Looks like in addition to reshooting an important scene from the film due to content involving mobsters shooting at a movie theater audience - WB made the decision earlier this week out of respect for the victims of the tragic Colorado shooting - the film's release date has been pushed back as well.

Though it was originally reported that the film was still slated for a September 7th release, the scenes that are being edited out and replaced were quite important to the plot of the film, and it's going to take more time than anticipated to rewrite and weave the story back together. According to Vulture, the film is now looking at an early 2013 release, likely January.
