Teletubby 117,603 Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 The Weeknd’s video for his new song “Take My Breath” was scheduled to air in Imax theaters before “Suicide Squad” this week, but has been pulled due to epilepsy warnings regarding to the “intense strobe lighting” in the clip. The song will be released on Friday at 12 a.m. ET. source I had a hole in the pocket of my favourite coat And my love for @Juanlittlem dropped into the lining Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CyanLights 15,258 Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 How much stone lighting is in it that it couldn’t be edited for imax? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlingNotTheMusic 25,934 Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 Tragic but I definitely see why they pulled it. Imagine the backlash if people were triggered into a seizure. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
FATCAT 55,820 Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 I wonder why they couldn't have edited it out or just transitioned through the strobing so it wasn't as glaring.. Purr more, hiss less. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gypsy101 5,423 Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 couldn’t they still play it just for people without epilepsy? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There would be no way of knowing who did or didn't have it, and I assume by "before the movie" they mean immediately before it plays, so everyone would already be seated w/ drinks and snacks. Probably couldn't time an in/out situation. Purr more, hiss less. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So what do you think, that they should check who has and who doesn’t have epilepsy before entering the cinema ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zedd 5,033 Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 So now they’re gonna play music videos in the theaters instead of hours of ads? Imagine you want to watch a movie and they play Ed Sheeran’s music video before the movie starts Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whigney Houstan 805 Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 They could’ve just made signs warning people with epilepsy about it. They had to do the same thing when the Incredibles 2 came out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
myluis617 5,201 Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 Well im glad its not having a theatre debut because that is so bizarre given our social climate at the moment. I do think theatre debuts for music videos is a cool idea, you can get the reaction of an audience perhaps record it which is so cool to think about.
