Clint Eastwood's latest film "Hereafter" has been pulled from over 180 theaters in Japan following the country's recent natural disaster, according to the Associated Press.
"Hereafter" recreates a tsunami in the film and Warner Entertainment Japan, Inc. official Satoru Otani said the images depicted in the film were "not appropriate" after the disaster.
Japan suffered a series of earthquakes over the weekend which triggered a 33-foot tsunami along the Pacific coast of the country. Waves traveled as far as six miles inland. About 20 countries, including the entire Pacific coast of North and South America has been placed on tsunami warnings and evacuations.
"Hereafter," which starred Matt Damon, made $33.8 million in America. It received an Academy Award nomination for Best Achievement in Visual Effects.
Japan was slated to show the film for the next month. The movie will be released in America on DVD and Blu-Ray on Tuesday.
