The King's Daughter

Filming wrapped in May 2014, with release set for April 2015. However, the studios weren't happy with the initial cut. Soon after, Bingbing Fan ran into tax problems. Fan was a major Chinese actor, and Chinese investors contributed 50% of the film's budget. Fan's income tax issues and the resulting negative publicity in China effectively killed her career, and with it any chance of a lucrative Chinese release. With no major studio backing, and Pierce Brosnan as the only international star in the cast, the film sat on the shelf for almost 8 years.

None of the clothing is remotely authentic or true to the pictured time frame. One dress even has a zipper.
