Ananova reports that the Fall release of a special edition of George Clooney's "Three Kings" on DVD is likely to be delayed after Warner Brothers refused to include a new anti-war documentary in the disc set.

It seems that Director David O. Russell's documentary, which was set for inclusion in the package, was deemed "totally inappropriate" for release in the current political climate by Warner Brothers.

Spokesperson Barbara Brogliatti said: "This came out to be a documentary that condemns, basically, war. This is supposed to be a special edition of Three Kings not a polemic about war."

The studio, which paid for the documentary to be made, says it will probably hand back the project to Russell. The director described the move as "a surprise and a disappointment", but said he would now try and find an independent distributor.

2. WB refuses to release Special Edition of Schindler's List.

Executives at Warner Brothers blocked the DVD release of Schindler's List due to a debate on whether or not to include a documentary on the Holocaust, which some say is anti-Holocaust. "This is totally inappropriate," said one WB exec., "this is supposed to be a special edition of Schindler's List, not a polemic about the holocaust."
