Edison's Scandal Impact On Movie Sniper (2009)

It is still a doubt if this action movie will be hit by Edison Chen's destructive scandals. Look at Gillian Chung from Twins, she was too shameful and too pathetic to receive too many complaints from audiences wherever she appeared in charity show or media interview. Cecilia Cheong kept herself behind the public and met up with no one after the scandal outbreak as self-punishment. Both victims out of the rest of female victims face serious career downturn. Despite Edison Chen's publicly apologized over a year ago, people out there still against his appearance in public. In April 2009, Edison Chen will turn up in Singapore for promoting his new film, Sniper.
